I made a chocolate flower cake covered with pink buttercream flowers. The method is very simple and fun because you just need to mold it with different shapes of pods without freezing. I put some white buttercream in a piping bag and used it to make 3 pink tints. You are free to choose the color you want and it will look nice and pretty. I used a floral mousse mold to cut the paper, but I think it will look good no matter what shape you make, such as a heart or a circle frame. The roses on the top are made before the cake is finished and put in the freezer before being placed on top. I think it’s a cake suitable for Children’s Day, Parents’ Day, and Teachers’ Day. Because it is a buttercream cake, if you keep it in the fridge, the ice cream will be hard and cold, so it will be more delicious.
