Hearts and blossoms

Heart_cake_blossoms

I made this cake for my friend’s parents on their wedding anniversary.   It’s quite a simple cake, but very effective, I think.  I filled a heart-shaped chocolate sponge cake with chocolate ganache, and then covered it with chocolate ganache and sugarpaste.  I handmade some sugar hydrangea blossoms and scattered them over the top of the cake.  Beautiful!

This is a very versatile cake design – it would make a beautiful cake for an engagement, small wedding, anniversary or any love-themed celebration really!
