Valentine's Day Cake Tutorial

Valentine's day is just around the corner and while we (me) complain that it's so cheesy and commercialized we all make plans to do something special with our loved ones on this day. Right? So here's to celebrating LOVE.

Do you really have to make a heart cake? Nah!! Personally, I do think any cake you make for your loved one is perfect as long as its' something they love. Most importantly you made it.

Here are a few tutorials and recipes that I think would be worth celebrating this valentine's day. Yes, we have both round and heart cakes as well as buttercream, fondant or naked cakes. So whether you have hours to prepare or barely any time to spare, we've got you covered.
