Disco Heart Cake

This is my Disco Heart cake because love feels like a disco party 🪩❤️🕺🏻

I aimed to create a heart-shaped cake that resembles a 3D disco ball without using glitter, reflective materials, or fondant. Instead, I used hundreds of homemade sprinkles.

If anyone questions my patience, I can show them this cake. I love the final result; it creates a nice illusion from a distance. Up close, it may not be perfect, but I'm proud of what I accomplished! ☺️

Techniques / Process

Here's a quick overview of the process:

1. Found a heart-shaped disco ball image online

2. Reduced the image to 8 colours using Photoshop

3. Matched homemade sprinkles to those 8 colours

4. Made hundreds of square sprinkles from each batch

5. Baked, filled, and frosted the cake (chocolate cake with Swiss meringue buttercream and dulce de leche)

6. Added each sprinkle to the cake individually
