This cake would be ideal as a top tier to a novelty Valentine’s Day, Wedding or Anniversary cake. You could also make cupcakes and biscuits with coordinating coloured blossoms to match the cake.

This lacy heart cake could be turned into a top tier for a wedding cake with cupcakes below. The cupcakes could include a pink top with the white lace effect, dusted in an ivory lustre dust. Cover the cupcakes in pink and cream then add a single solid or lacy heart. Alternatively cut the full shape in half and have this either upright like a fan or flat covering half of the cupcake. If using buttercream on the cupcakes add the decoration at the very last minute so it holds its shape.
