Find them stacked in colorful rows behind the old-school bakery counter. This is my 6” perfect chocolate cake batter, which also makes a 9x13” sheet cake. I cut it into 6 squares to make 6 heart cakes of one layer each. You can cut two even sized wedges off of each side of a round cake. Attach those wedges to the remaining rounded part of the cake with frosting.
How to Make Smash Cakes
Now clean up the loaf pan and make the outside cake batter. Fill the pan a half-inch and insert the frozen hearts standing upright while you pour in the rest of the batter. It should just cover completely, leaving an inch from the top of the pan to allow for expansion. Bake again for minutes until a toothpick or cake tester comes out clean. Valentine’s Day is like the Christmas of desserts for me. I love the vibe during those few days leading up to the big finale and I get absolutely crazy with cake decorating ideas.
Assembling this Heart Shaped Chocolate Cake:
This will create a heart shape cake without having to buy a heart pan. Place the butter and vanilla extract in the bowl of a mixer, and cream to combine. Turn the mixer to low, then add the powdered sugar, one cup at a time, until everything is blended. In a separate bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth, then add the cream cheese to the butter and sugar and beat until you have a smooth and creamy frosting. Once your message is looking picture perfect, you’ve got yourself the cutest vintage heart cake that is sure to brighten anyone’s day!

If you want more tips on creating a perfectly smooth cake finish, I’ve got a great tutorial for you here. Repeat with the other fondant color and allow the heart shapes to dry for at least 24 hours, flipping them halfway through so that each side dries thoroughly. With 3 young kids, dinner can feel like feeding time at the zoo! I’m a mom on a mission to create easy, healthy and family friendly recipes.
Making the Vanilla Cake Layers
And unlike some of the other boutique birthday cake makers in Los Angeles, they offer options to fit every budget. The remaining bowls will be what you use for the accent piping in the cascading decoration. Don’t hesitate to create these beautiful geometric pattern cake hearts if you have a heart mold with a geometric pattern.
Vintage Heart Cake
This may very well be the dreamiest cake design of all time. And ever since I discovered this hack for making heart-shaped cakes out of round cake layers, I have been making more and more with beautiful vintage piping. You never need a novelty cake pan for this design (unless you really want one). Preheat the oven, then coat two round cake pans with cooking spray and line the bottoms and sides with parchment paper. Soak cake baking strips in water, then wrap the strips around the pans after the batter goes in. Sift the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda and salt into the bowl of a mixer.
They also make cool champaign and mimosa cupcakes, which are great for parties. Cake world icon Duff Goldman brought his Baltimore-born cake business, Charm City Cakes, to Los Angeles in 2011. Since that time, he has made birthday cakes for everyone from Ozzy Ozborne to Stormi Jenner. To decorate, I like to pipe a border using a large star tip and bright pink frosting (formula below), then finish it off with some Valentine-themed sprinkles. Start at either the tip of the heart or the indent between the two bulges and spin the cake to smooth the frosting. Make sure you push the comb into the indent between the bulges to really define that part of the heart.
Cool the cakes for 20 minutes, then invert them onto a cooling rack and cool completely. Are you searching for heart shape cake designs to surprise your partner? When it comes to expressing your love and affection, few things can do it better than a heart-shaped cake. Whether it’s a special occasion or just a way to say, “I love you,” these heart-shaped cakes are sure to captivate your loved one’s heart.
Step 2: Assemble & Crumb Coat the Cake
I find so much joy in my kitchen and hope to inspire you to do the same! My goal is to share recipes and tutorials that help you create desserts that look just as good as they taste. If you cut into the cake and have leftovers, use any remaining frosting to cover the cut section to keep it moist and store in the fridge for up to a week. Starting just inside that large shell border on top of the cake, pipe a smaller shell border using Wilton Tip 32. Then, repeat the process next to the large shell border on the bottom of the cake. Use the Wilton 27 to pipe a shell border along the bottom of the cake, inside the shell border on top of the cake and to create small embellishments along the sides.
This impressive and delicious strawberry vanilla heart cake starts with my simple vanilla cake recipe! It’s a basic cake recipe that’s great for any occasional cake! You’ll need two different pans for this recipe – a square pan and a round pan – which will shape the heart cake.
In this article, we will explore 12 exceptionally unique heart shaped cake designs that are bound to wow your love and make every moment special. I’m working with two 8-inch cake layers made with my one-bowl chocolate cake recipe for this tutorial, and I’ll show you how I turn them into heart-shaped layers. And speaking of buttercream, you can use whatever kind you prefer to frost and pipe cakes with. I am using 3 batches of my favorite vanilla buttercream recipe.
To pipe a shell border, place the tip of the bag just above the cake. Squeeze the bag, allowing the frosting to fan out as it reaches the cake. Release the pressure as you lower the tip to the surface of the cake pulling it gently away from the frosting you just piped. Overall, this is a reliable place to order birthday cake for a crowd. The LA outposts of Erin McKenna’s Bakery also does excellent cookie cakes (which are also gluten-free and vegan,) as well as charming themed cakes. (Like this cute fox cake or understated pink ombre rosette cake).
(It’s kind of creepy but a cool option for die-hard fans.) This is Hollywood, after all. Meanwhile, their signature Banana Chocolate Chip Cake makes you wonder why other bakeries don’t offer this as a standard flavor. They also do a mean Chocolate Guinness Cake with Irish Cream Buttercream, which is understandably a popular flavor combo for March birthdays around St. Patrick’s Day. SusieCakes is another Los Angeles bakery franchise that does consistently great custom cakes. Like many of the bakers on this list, they specialize in custom cakes, but the homemade taste sets them apart. You can also order various intriguingly-flavored signature cakes in multiple sizes.
Place the cake layers into the freezer for 30 minutes to accelerate the cooling process. Once the layers are fully cooled, carefully flip the pans, and remove the layers. You can totally make a heart shaped cake without a heart shaped pan.
As I said, I’ve made your vanilla and Oreo cake layers several times and everyone loves them. To assemble the cake, trim the tops of the cakes to create flat, even layers. Place one cake on a cake stand close to the bottom edge.
