Celebrating in Purple!

This birthday cake was made for a special little girl. A Wilton Heart Pan was used to bake this cake. After the cake was placed on a cake board, it was crumb-coated with home-made buttercream icing. The cake was left for about half an hour to crust, then a second layer of buttercream was spread on the cake. Please see this video to learn how to create a smooth finish. For the borders, I used the star tip to create the design around the cake. The #1 tip was used to write on the cake and to draw the hearts. The cake sprinkles were applied liberally to add the final touch. Voila!
