First time heart shaped cake for my daughter’s 5th birthday

What a whirlwind of stress! I baked the Funfetti Cake in a round tin a week before and froze it.

I iced it two days before the party, after a long 9-5pm I was tired but got started around 7pm.

Whipped up the Italian buttercream which was my first time making it. I normally make Swiss Meringue BC. It was so stressful, it curdled then before too runny after double broiling it, then almost curdled. This process took the longest.

By the time it was time to actually ice the cake I was done! Since the cake was round I had to cut it to make it a heart shape, oh the regrets of being a try hard minimalist and not wanting to buy a heart shape pan…! It worked out… by the time I was doing piping the border you can see how tired I was, one side looked good the other side :/

However, my daughter ABSOLUTELY LOVED IT. Her brief was: hearts, rainbows – I saved a few on Pinterest and this style was her inspo.
