Vampire Cake

This was for a friend’s birthday. The party theme was vampires.

For a vampire party I thought it would be fun to have a heart-shaped cake. Then decided to go further and stake it. The blood was raspberry jam.

This was only my second time covering a cake in fondant. I remember how afraid I was of it.

This was the first time

For the practice cake, I also made some edible lace. That process was a pain in the a** so I nixed it for the final version.

The stake was more fun anyway :)

The cake itself was red velvet of course. with my favorite Swiss Meringue Buttercream.

I think she loved her cake.
