Right. This one’s for the people who want their cake to look like it’s been touched by magic.
Imagine a beautiful heart‑shaped cake – glossy pink or red buttercream, maybe a dusting of edible glitter – and then, hovering just above it, a cluster of little hearts. They’re not resting on the cake. They’re floating. Suspended on invisible sticks like they’re about to drift away on a breeze. It’s romantic, it’s whimsical, and it’s guaranteed to make your Valentine say “wow”.
Someone asked me a while back: “can you make a cake that looks like it’s floating hearts? For my girlfriend’s Valentine’s Day. I want something really special. We’re in Sydenham.”
I said yeah, course. I made a heart‑shaped red velvet cake, covered it in pale pink buttercream, and added three little fondant hearts on clear acrylic sticks above the cake. She said it looked like a dream. That’s a win.
So here it is: Floating Hearts Valentine’s Cake – available for delivery and collection across Bromley, Downham, Grove Park, Sydenham, Catford & Bellingham.
It’s a heart‑shaped cake, about 7 inches. Feeds 6–10 people. Perfect for Valentine’s Day, anniversaries, proposals, engagements, or any time you want to surprise someone with a little bit of magic.
What’s in it?
Sponge – vanilla, chocolate, or red velvet. Red velvet is very romantic – deep red with a tangy cream cheese frosting. Your choice.
Filling – raspberry jam, strawberry compote, chocolate ganache, or vanilla buttercream. Raspberry is lovely – it adds a pop of colour and tartness.
Frosting – smooth buttercream in pink, red, or white. I can also do a cream cheese frosting for red velvet.
The floating hearts – three to five fondant hearts on clear food‑safe sticks (or acrylic rods). They hover above the cake like they’re floating. I can colour the hearts pink, red, white, or gold.
The look – a heart cake with hearts floating above it. You can also add a dusting of edible glitter or a few sugar pearls around the base.
It’s dramatic, it’s romantic, and it’s surprisingly easy to transport – the sticks just pull out, or you can leave them in for the photos.
Who buys this?
Valentine’s Day cake – the ultimate romantic gesture.
Anniversary cake – for the couple who still believes in magic.
Proposal cake – you’re going to ask? This will set the scene.
Engagement party cake – celebrate with floating hearts.
Just because – you want to make someone feel special.
Honestly? Anyone who’s ever wanted a cake that looks like it’s been kissed by a fairy.
Can I get a different colour for the floating hearts?
Yes. Pink, red, white, gold, even pastel blue – just tell me.
Can I add a message or name?
Course. “Be Mine”, “I Love You”, “Happy Anniversary” – I’ll pipe it on the side or on a little sugar plaque.
How much notice?
Few days if you can. Order online or message me – I’ll be honest.
Collection or delivery?
Collect from our Bromley shop or get local delivery to Downham, Grove Park, Sydenham, Catford, Bellingham – all within easy reach.
One thing to mention…
The floating hearts are on clear sticks – they’re not edible (the hearts are, the sticks aren’t). Just pull the sticks out before serving. The hearts themselves are fondant – you can eat them or keep them as a keepsake. Also, the cake is heart‑shaped, hand‑cut, so it won’t be perfectly symmetrical – that’s the charm.
Right. That’s the Floating Hearts Valentine’s Cake done.
For the people you love enough to make a little bit of magic for. And for the moments that deserve to feel like a dream – delivered right to your door in Bromley, Downham, Grove Park, Sydenham, Catford, or Bellingham.
