Welcome back to Formula One Outfits Around The World, where I curate a look for race Sunday Inspired by each Grand Prix Location. . This weeks location is round two: The Miami Grand Prix OOTD 🇺🇸🏎️🏁 . I was really inspired by the beach and Miami sunsets, so when I found this dress I knew to was perfect. To match the orange, I went with all gold jewelry, chunky bangles and simple rings. Miami means inconvenient high heels so these gold stilettos that walk around the calf are perfect and match the jewelry. It is the beach so a woven tote is needed and this Loewe tote is to die for. To bring it all together, an orange sunset summer fragrance by one of my favorite brands Replica. . LTKdayinmylife LTKPetite LTKgrwm

The hardest part for me when I first started decorated heart cakes almost 3 years ago was getting them stacked evenly, especially with a filling.
.
My Top Tips:
• work on frozen cakes
• let your crumb coat set up in the fridge
• when using a filling, make a wall/dam boarder around the cake so filling doesn’t seep out the sides
• seal the edges where each cake layer meets before adding the next
• when frosting the top coat, make sure your frosting is really soft so it is pliable
• use a warm bench scraper to get an even and smooth buttercream

I should have just googled when cherries were in season instead of making the cake layers, leaving them in the fridge for 3 days and then turning them into a tester cake.
.
Recipe card at the end for you to screenshot!
.
Ingredients:
* 4 cups (8 sticks) of unsalted butter
* 2 (15oz) cans of sweetened condensed milk
* 1 ½ teaspoon of salt
* 2 teaspoons of vanilla extract
Instructions:
1. Brown 3 cups (6 sticks) of the unsalted butter in a medium-sized saucepan until it reaches a maple syrup color. It should take about 8-10 minutes.
2. Set aside in a heat-safe container on the kitchen counter to cool a little bit for about 30-45 minutes.
3. Place the now semi-cooled butter in the refrigerator until it reaches a softened butter consistency, about 2 hours. You want the melted butter to solidify a bit before turning it into buttercream, so that air can be whipped into it.
4. In a stand mixer, mix the softened butter on medium speed for 10 minutes, scraping the bowl occasionally.
5. Empty the cans of sweetened condensed milk into the mixer and mix until well incorporated.
6. Finally, add in the vanilla extract and salt, and give the buttercream one last good mix.
7. Use to decorate your cakes. Do not dye the buttercream because brown butter does not hold color well.

I promise my butter isn’t burnt, its the filter on the video and my pan being scratched up. You really have to love brown butter to enjoy this recipe, especially since it is so brown butter heavy.

By cutting a 6 inch, 3 layer heart cake this way, I am able to get 12-16 well portioned sized slices.
.
Also did you know that 99% of the time, the heart cake you are seeing me decorate is my content cake? That is why I use cake drums and not boards. I will say this month only about 3 cakes I am decorating are for birthdays/special occasions, the rest are going to be the same cake decorated over and over again.
