Decorate the inside, not the outside for the Valentine’s Day cake this year. Snow white outside but the most beautiful inside: a mille crepe cake with a hidden rainbow heart. Here goes how to make a crepe cake for Valentine’s Day, the best DIY Valentine’s Day gift. And because I designed this cake and loved it soooo much, I named this cake “Eugenie Cake”.

Thanks, Karen! The whipped cream should not runny. Make sure you whip cold whipping cream and whip it enough. Good luck!
Is it ok to add gelatin sheet? Will it change the taste? Suggestion on the ratio?
Thanks in advance!

I love this video very much, the cake is very colorful ! I decide to make this cake for my boyfriend, but I’m still don’t understand how to make temp circles
I’m still don’t understand how to make those 17 temp circles… would you mind teach me more ><?
Each circle is for the each layer of the heart. See the size differences of the rainbow heart drawing. Hope this helps.
