these 10 Valentine's Day cakes have gone
0:02
viral because they're unique delicious
0:04
easy or fun let's start with this cake
0:07
that has almost 12 million views on
0:09
Instagram for a cake it's a simple
0:11
design made with a triangle cutout of
0:13
parchment paper as a stencil for a cone
0:15
scored with the edge of a cake comb to
0:17
make grid marks with marbled pink
0:19
buttercream scooped on top and a fun
0:21
Valentine's Day pun you melt my heart
0:24
for the message I used sweet stamp
0:26
letters which you press one by one into
0:28
the cake after chilling the cake to set
0:30
the frosting leave the cake out at room
0:31
temperature for an hour so that it
0:33
softens just enough for the perfect
0:35
imprint of the letters paint the letters
0:37
with edible gold paint which you can buy
0:40
or make yourself using vodka or clear
0:42
vanilla extract mixed with edible gold
0:44
Luster Dust this Valentine's Day cake is
0:47
so eye-catching and fun this next cake
0:49
with over a million views is such a
0:51
unique way to make a floral cake pipe
0:54
rosettes and then put the cake in the
0:56
freezer for 30 minutes before scraping
0:58
around it with a hot metal cake coat
1:00
which will melt the piping that sticks
1:02
out and then drag it to fill in the gaps
1:03
in the piping creating a flat design
1:06
that looks like it's been printed onto
1:07
the cake the key here is to use at least
1:10
two colors of buttercream I used two
1:12
shades of pink and the variation is what
1:14
creates the details in the design the
1:17
next one is for chocolate lovers squeeze
1:19
melted chocolate through a Ziploc bag
1:21
with a hole cut off one corner and then
1:23
lift it up and wrap it around a frosted
1:25
cake chill in the fridge to set the
1:27
chocolate and then peel off the paper to
1:29
leave the chocolate design design behind
1:30
on the cake run a knife under hot water
1:32
before slicing for the neatest results
1:35
this cake is so decadent filmed back in
1:38
2020 so please excuse the video quality
1:40
of I think this was an iPhone 8 this
1:43
cake was spotted by Wilton and featured
1:45
on their page the frosted cake has been
1:47
in the fridge for about an hour before
1:48
this so that it's firm and won't droop
1:51
with the weight of this rainbow piping
1:53
I'm using a petal piping tip a number
1:55
104 with the wide part pressed against
1:57
the cake and the narrow end pointing
1:59
outwards drawing the outline of the
2:01
heart first by using a toothpick to
2:03
trace around a paper heart makes it easy
2:05
to start and stop each line in the right
2:07
places so that the final shape is easily
2:10
recognizable an optional Finishing Touch
2:12
is to place edible Gold Leaf around the
2:14
edges which is easiest to do after
2:16
chilling the cake so that you don't mess
2:18
it up if you knock it by mistake if
2:20
you're celebrating Valentine's Day as a
2:22
couple make a cake for two like this
2:24
bake a cake using whatever pan you have
2:27
and cut out hearts with a cookie cutter
2:29
which will be the L layers of your cake
2:31
pipe some swells as the filling between
2:33
the layers to make a naked heart-shaped
2:34
cake or Frost it which is much easier to
2:37
do after putting the cake in the freezer
2:38
for 15 minutes so that the layers aren't
2:41
as crumbly or wobbly this mini heart
2:43
cake is the perfect size for a couple to
2:45
share another shortcut to make a mini
2:47
cake is with cupcakes cut them in half
2:50
and then layer them using buttercream to
2:52
stick the bottom layer down onto the
2:53
cake board this will hold the cake still
2:55
as you frost it and just like with the
2:57
cookie cutter layers chilling this
2:59
cupcake cake cake in the freezer for 15
3:01
minutes will make it much easier to
3:03
frost I have a very detailed tutorial on
3:05
making mini cakes for Valentine's Day
3:07
and the link is in the top of the screen
3:09
this next cake is maybe the easiest cake
3:11
in the world to make tint a few colors
3:14
of buttercream and then bake and
3:15
decorator cake in the same dish so
3:17
there's no need to layer it or to frost
3:20
the sides put the colored buttercream
3:22
into piping bags with any piping tips
3:24
and then pipe the colors randomly onto
3:25
the cake or create a heart drawing the
3:28
heart onto the cake with a toothpick
3:30
first to give yourself an outline to
3:32
follow and serving this cake is just as
3:34
easy as baking and decorating it just
3:37
pick up the dish and take it wherever
3:38
you're going and then serve the cake
3:40
right there in the dish here's another
3:42
easy one use a cupcake pan to tint tiny
3:45
amounts of different colors and then
3:47
spread these colors over a heart-shaped
3:49
stencil when you peel the stencil off
3:51
you'll have a gorgeous rainbow heart
3:52
cake to make the double stencil just cut
3:55
a heart out of parchment paper and layer
3:57
this over any patterned stencil taping
3:59
the two stencils together or push pins
4:02
through the corners into the cake to
4:03
hold the stencils in place if you're
4:05
traveling for Valentine's Day make a
4:07
cake before you go and take it with you
4:10
bake the layers make the filling and
4:12
assemble the cake and then wrap it in
4:14
cling film or Saran Wrap and freeze it
4:15
for at least an hour or for a few days
4:18
make buttercream to frost the cake and
4:20
freeze that in a big Ziploc bag pressing
4:22
it flat just before you travel take the
4:24
cake and frosting out of the freezer and
4:26
put them into a cooler with an ice pack
4:29
and then put put this into your suitcase
4:31
the cake and frosting will thaw
4:32
gradually while you travel so that when
4:34
you arrive just squeeze the buttercream
4:36
out of the bag and use it to frost the
4:38
cake instead of taking a turntable with
4:40
you you can use a plate and for seven
4:42
frosting techniques that don't require
4:44
smooth frosting using a cake comb check
4:47
out the tutorial I've linked in the top
4:48
of the screen finishing up with another
4:51
oldie but goody from 2020 by covering a
4:54
cake with two layers of frosting
4:55
chilling the cake in the fridge after
4:57
the first layer for at least an hour but
4:59
before the next layer so that the layers
5:01
don't mix together you can then use clay
5:03
modeling tools to carve out a heart
5:05
scraping off the outer layer of frosting
5:07
and revealing the colors underneath I
5:09
painted around the edge of this heart
5:11
using edible gold paint to make it
5:13
really pop carved buttercream cakes are
5:15
very satisfying to make and they always
5:18
get the best reaction so which one of
5:21
