Valentine's Coffee Group

It might be a little early for a Valentine's Day theme, but close enough. I wanted to practice my decorating skills and I saw some really beautiful swirled rose cake designs online, so I thought I'd give it a try. I didn't have an extra large piping tip, so my roses aren't quite as big and fluffy as the one in the link, but the effect is pretty cool.

The cake is Hershey's 5 Minute Chocolate Cake with a vanilla buttercream frosting.

The heart napkins are leftover from my 25th birthday party, five years ago.

I also made a hashbrown and egg casserole and biscuits with the apple butter I made in the fall.
