Butter and Brioche, how we love thee! Your rose cake looks fit to have been served at Romeo and Juliet’s wedding. It could have been the key to their living happily ever after.

Okay, we’ll stop. We just have a lot of love in our hearts this time of year. So does Thalia Ho, who writes Butter and Brioche. “I have just started to adore the idea,” she writes of Valentine’s Day. “A day to celebrate love…and be grateful for all the special people you have in your life.”

Ho’s romantic rose cake features rose-infused batter and on-trend ombré icing. She achieves the look by frosting with three different colors—dark pink, pale pink, and white—from the bottom of the cake to the top.

Make it to celebrate the special people in your life. And then eat the darn thing.
