Method

  1. Step 1

    Mud cake step 1

    Transfer icing to a large bowl. Add enough drops of the food colouring to tint the icing, stirring with a wooden spoon or spatula to combine. Remove the paper cases from each mud cake. Trim 2cm from two opposite sides of 1 cake, then repeat on the two remaining opposite sides to create a square shape (the square will still have slightly rounded edges). Cut the remaining cake in half to make 2 semicircles.

  2. Step 2

    Mud cake step 2

    Place the square cake on a large flat platter or board and turn slightly to make a diamond shape. Place the 2 semicircles on the 2 top edges to make a heart shape. Fill in any gaps using cake trimmings, pressing to connect. Spread a little icing over the top and smooth the surface. 

  3. Step 3

    Add 1-2 tbs hot water to the remaining icing and use a wooden spoon or spatula to loosen the mixture. Reserve 1 cup of icing. Spread the remaining icing over the top and sides of the cake using a palette knife or spatula to smooth the surface.

  4. Step 4

    Place the reserved icing in a piping bag fitted with an 8-point star nozzle. Pipe around the inside edge of the cake, then pipe around the base of the cake. Decorate the top of the cake with rose icing figurines and decorations and your choice of lollies from the party mixes.
