I received a request for a first anniversary cake. She wanted something very simple in shades of white and deep purple with a few roses. Actually, she wanted her cake to be so simple that she didn’t even want fillings! No fillings? What? I did convince her on having some tasty buttercream frosting in between each torte. I knew she wouldn’t be disappointed.

I decided to use the shape of a cookie cutter I have and make it into a cake. I put together two hearts’ cakes into one and covered them in fondant. The cake itself is a White Butter cake.

I made a couple of sugar roses and a couple of chocolate roses intending on using one one set only.

In the end, I used both sets and I thought it looked beautiful. I simply loved this cake. It is simple, elegant and it looks so romantic.

A perfect cake for a first anniversary celebration.
