Great, I know what I'll do make a velvet layered cake with nipple shaped toppings?
We all want to go out of our way to impress our loved ones on Valentine's Day but there's a fine line between baking sweet treats such as red velvet cupcakes and becoming over ambitious and ending up with a sloppy mess. Well, that's what happened to many hopeless romantics this week and here are some of the pretty dire results.'Why is "just gently drizzle the frosting on the cookies" so challenging! #valentinesfail At least they taste good.' – that's the most important thing Kelly!

But today I attempted a homemade pink velvet double layer cake with homemade almond buttercream frosting to surprise my hubby for Valentines Day. Aside from being lopsided and the decorations ending up looking like nipples, I think it turned out pretty decent and mostly edible." Well done Jeni, we believe the flavour was lovely but perhaps try something a little simpler to start with!

Days of scrolling through Pinterest and then to finally choose a recipe and get to work is a success but sadly the dream didn't quite fit the reality.
