Celebrating love with heart shaped cake

Love and cakes go hand in hand because all occasions which demand the presence of a cake have love as their principal themes. Be it marriage anniversaries, birthdays or valentine’s day, cakes are still the best edible gift to present. A combination of love and deliciousness is the heart shaped cake which clearly and literally conveys the message of love all across while bringing with it taste and sweetness. Heart shaped cakes are common as symbols of love, especially when lovers tend to give each other cakes on special days. They are regulars in birthday celebrations since there is no other occasion more appropriate than birthdays to celebrate love.
Heart shaped cakes are either baked in a special pan shaped like a heart or are cut professionally like a heart. The heart shaped cake is the hub of ideas related to creative cake decorations because it is not only a cake anymore but a sweet and delicious piece of heart which without decoration would cease to hold appeal. Chocolate flowers, shavings, edible sparkles are generally the ones which make an appearance on heart shaped cakes. Edible chocolate flowers colored to look like roses look perfect on the top of a heart shaped cake as it signifies love at its best.
There are no particular flavors attached to a heart shaped cake as it could be of any flavor. For birthdays, vanilla and chocolate heart shaped cakes are preferred while several flavors like strawberry, blueberry, butterscotch, coffee etc are preferred by young couples when the heart shaped cake becomes a gift, especially during Valentine’s Day. The toppings on any heart shaped cake are of equal importance as the cake itself and is generally made of chocolate since chocolate is one sin everybody loves indulging in, whatever be the flavor of the cake.
Ordering heart shaped cake is the wisest thing to do because it is indeed difficult to bake them at home or cut them accurately in shape. Several cake shops which have gone online take orders from customers when it comes to heart shaped cakes and customers can choose the flavor as well as what decorations will be used on the cake. Customers are also given the option to choose a message that will be displayed on the cake, written with cream or small pieces of edible chocolate as per their request. The idea of ordering a heart shaped cake is exciting enough!
There are also several small heart shaped cakes which are doing the rounds now.
