For the Buttercream:
- Unsalted butter (2 cups, softened)
- Confectioners' sugar (4-5 cups, sifted)
- Vanilla extract (2 teaspoons)
- Milk or heavy cream (2-4 tablespoons)
For Decoration:
- Gel food coloring (red or desired color)

Instructions:
- Bake the Cake:
- Preheat your oven according to the cake recipe instructions. Grease and flour cake pans. Prepare and bake the cake according to the recipe or mix instructions. Let it cool completely.
- Prepare Buttercream:
- In a large bowl, beat softened butter until creamy. Gradually add sifted confectioners' sugar, one cup at a time, and continue beating until smooth and fluffy.
- Add Vanilla Extract:
- Mix in vanilla extract to the buttercream. Adjust the consistency by adding milk or heavy cream if needed.
- Color Buttercream:
- Divide the buttercream into two portions. Leave one portion white and color the other portion with red or your desired gel food coloring to create a vibrant color for the heart.
- Slice and Assemble Cake:
- If necessary, level the cooled cakes. Cut each cake layer into the shape of half a heart. Place one layer on your serving plate or cake board.
- Crumb Coat:
- Apply a thin crumb coat of white buttercream on the cake. This helps to seal in the crumbs.
- Create Heart Shape:
- Carefully place the other cake layer next to the first one, creating a heart shape. Frost the entire cake with the white buttercream.
- Decorate with Colored Buttercream:
- Using a piping bag and tip, pipe the colored buttercream around the edges of the heart shape, creating a border. You can also add additional decorative details with different piping tips.
- Optional: Add Messages or Details:
- Add messages or personalized details to the cake using additional colored buttercream.
- Smooth and Refine:
- Smooth the buttercream with a cake smoother or spatula for a polished finish.
- Serve or Refrigerate:
- Once decorated, serve the Buttercream Heart Cake immediately or refrigerate until ready to serve.
Tips:
- For a neater finish, refrigerate the cake briefly after the crumb coat before applying the final layer of buttercream.
- Experiment with different piping tips to create various textures and patterns.
