Valentine’s Day or Saint Valentine’s Day is a holiday celebrated on February 14 by scores of people throughout the world. In the English-speaking countries, it is the traditional day on which lovers communicate their love for each other by sending Valentine’s cards, offering flowers, candy, and cakes
The day is most closely associated with the mutual trade of love notes in the form of “valentines”. The U.S. Greeting Card Association estimates that roughly one billion valentines are sent each year worldwide, making the day the second largest card-sending holiday of the year, behind Christmas. The association estimates that, in the US, men spend on average twice as much money as women.
In the baking business many forms of cakes are made for this holiday. One might think that the cake itself should be in the form of a heart. This is not crucial because the cake can be baked in a average sized round pan. The way in which the cake is decorated is what matters.
Today I will give details how to simply decorate a Red Rose Valentine Cake. Regrettably, I cannot post the picture of what it looks like here. To see a fully decorated Red Rose Valentine Cake visit our cake decorating area. Many of the supplies can be found at stores that will sell cake decorating supplies.
Directions on how to decorate a Red Rose Valentine Cake
This is for a 6″ round cake.
1. Ice the cake with white icing. Use your small 6″ spatula and a wrist motion to make wavy top and sides.
2. Airbrush the lower half of the side and outer edge of the top with Pink Shimmer Airbrush Color.
3. Mix a soft green color using Green Liquid Airbrush Color in addition to a ½ drop of Brown Liquid Airbrush.
4. Use a coupler in your pastry bag to simply switch the green tube from the #18 tube for the bottom border to a #3 for the rose stems, then to a #352 deep cut leaf tube for the rose leaves.
5. Use Oasis Bright Red Royal Icing Roses in Standard and Small.
6. Write an message in white with a #3 plain round tube on a White Scroll Dec-Ons® decoration and after that airbrush with pink shimmer color.
