I actually didn't have anything too heartbreaking happen to me this Valentine's day. I had planned on making two cakes, one that was happy and one was sad, and by the time I was done with the sad one I didn't have the energy to make the happy one. I ended up giving it to a friend that needed it more than I did.

On the bright side, I used this cake as an opportunity to practice more techniques: marbled fondant, topsy-turvy tiers, roses, and luster dust. Overall a good experience.
