How to make Rosette Mini Cakes

You cannot miss these Easy, Quick-to-make and Pretty Rosette Mini Cakes that are perfect for Valentine’s Day Group Tables, Weddings, Mother’s Day or just to surprise your loved ones.

Looking for a family friendly recipe for Valentine’s Day?

Worried about how to make a common dessert that you can serve people having egg allergies/nut allergies and that you can make quickly?

Imagine how time-saving it would be if everyone can eat the same dessert despite of allergies and diet preferences (read Veganism)

I have something right here for you.

It is already the month of February (how fast does time fly!) and Valentine’s Day is just around the corner and nothing says Valentine more than a Rose! I have got these sweet and simple Rosette Mini Cakes for you that you can enjoy with the entire family. It’s a perfect lovely treat for a family table.

Valentine’s Day is all about celebrating love and what better than making these super simple mini cakes that are ready under an hour!

I have always faced a dearth of recipes that I could make for the entire table on Valentine’s Day that includes kids and adults both. These mini cakes fit the bill perfectly there.

I love all the red mushy stuff that is so trending around Valentine’s Day but I love offbeat too. Just what you need to stand out from the rest.

Speaking of which, did I tell you I have a video that I made on Offbeat Valentine’s Day Cupcakes?

Watch it here.

Coming back to our recipe, the thing I love about mini cakes are their small serving size. It’s almost the size of a cupcake but something more than that. Something special than a cupcake. It’s like getting an upgrade to a cupcake!

Mini Cakes for Valentine’s Day Family Table

Vanilla Cake: I used this Vegan Vanilla Cake recipe and added 1/4th tsp Lemon Extract to it to make a Lemon Cake as base for these Mini Cakes. I divided the batter in three parts and baked in three 6 inch cake pans.

Whipped Cream: You will need approximately 2 cups of Whipped Cream to ice all the mini cakes.

Pink Gel Food Color: I have given a nice and light pink shade to the rosettes since I am making these for my family. You can use other colors like yellow and red too.

Making Mini Cakes from Sheet Cakes

Yes! this is the best way to make mini cakes! You do not need to layer the tall cake and you do not need any mini cake pans. Sheet cakes are of the perfect height to use them as is. Just use a cookie cutter to make shapes as you wish.

I use this same technique to make these Valentine’s Day Rosette Mini Cakes.
