Valentine Cake

Wow, it's been a while since I've posted, well it's cake time again!!!

Here's a Valentine cake with chocolate roses and buttercream piped roses and leaves, really fun to make and eat...
So much work goes into the preparation, before assembling, of course it's all about putting it together, I love working on the composition of the cake.
For the filling I made a chocolate truffle ganache and used frozen raspberries from my garden to make a raspberry mousse, I layered the two inside the cake.
I used Dede Wilson's excellent Italian buttercream frosting and added food coloring to make it pink.
Wish I could give you a slice!
