Blue Valentines Day Cake

I used 2 large 3' inch deep cake pans, top layer is chocolate cake with chocolate buttercream filling, covered in fondant and painted with super blue and peacock blue luster dust, bottom layer is chocolate cake with strawberry cream filling covered in fondant and painted with super blue and peacock blue luster dust..the hearts are made from gumpaste and cut out and painted with royal blue and baby blue luster dust..i used gumpaste flowers and blue icing for center...i used white luster dust/pearl to draw the squares on the botom layer and used white icing to decorate...i used blue gel paste to make the blue icing trim...i cut out hearts using gumpaste and painted them shades of blue and attached them to floral wire and used royal icing and gumpaste to secure them to the wires...i used white fondant to make the white balls for the top and attached with white decorators icing...on the side of the cake i dipped a huge strawberry in chocolate and drizzled with white chocolate..after it dried i used fondant glaze to give the strawberry shimmer coating and dusted the cake with blue pearl/platinum dust.
