Chocolate Dot Valentine Cake decorating Techniques

I made this cake for Valentine in order to surprise my husband. And I surely did.

It looked very nice and tasted even better. He likes chocolate cakes so I made such cake and he was delighted with its look as well as its taste.

For this cake I baked two chocolate layers and made chocolate butter cream for frosting. In order to make chocolate layer I used eggs, sugar, vanilla extract, butter, ground walnuts, cocoa powder, and chocolate.

I poured it into the prepared heart shaped pan and baked two layers in the preheated oven for 10 min. at high heat and 15-20 min. more at lower heat. Took it out of the oven and let it to cool completely. While the layers were cooling I made chocolate frosting. First, I beat butter with powdered sugar and vanilla, added egg yolks, cocoa powder and melted chocolate. I beat egg whites separately and added to the mixture.

I put mixed cream into the fridge to cool and then frosted it between the layers. At the end I used white fondant to cover the cake and on top of the cake I put brown dots bigger and smaller which I made out of modeling chocolate. It really looked cute and it was the perfect present for my husband for Valentine.
