Step 1
In advance, make puddle dots. Prepare color flow icing and divide in thirds. Tint 1/3 dark rose, 1/3 light rose, leave 1/3 white. Using tip 3 and thinned color flow, pipe 1/2 in. puddle dots onto waxed paper-covered board. Make 100 each white and dark rose, 110 light rose. Make additional dots to allow for breakage. Let dry overnight. When dry, brush dots with Pearl Dust.
Step 2
Bake and cool 2-layer heart cake (bake two 1 1/2 in. high layers for a 3 in. high cake). Ice cake smooth with light rose buttercream.
Step 3
Position dots on cake top in a heart shape, placing light rose at outer edge, then white, then dark rose at center.
Step 4
Using smooth side of tip 2B, pipe rose buttercream bottom border. Attach remaining dark rose dots, 1 3/4 in. apart.
