Life is a Box of Chocolates

 Life is a Box of Chocolates.

or

In this case a Red Velvet Cake.

.

 I carved the cake into a heart shaped.

Then iced it with Cream Cheese Frosting.

I covered the top of the cake with black fondant.

Then I rolled red fondant for the sides making sure to go up a half an inch over the cake. 

I used an impression mat to give it texture

For the lid,

since we didn't need that much cake;

I just used a cut cake board.

If you need more cake, simply put one layer of cake on your board.

Then I decorated the lid again using an impression mat.

I doweled the cake letting the dowels stick out from the cake to create the open box.

I then dowels the covered cake board to the cake using the rose to cover the dowel.

What did you make for Valentine's Day?
