As Abbs, a brunette beauty from the UK who often shares fashion, beauty and food content online, prepared to celebrate her 28th birthday, she explained how she gave a plain, pink heart cake a total glow up.

The pretty cake cerves 20 and is priced at just £15.
Showing off the delicious supermarket cake, Abbs explained: 'Let's decorate a Vintage Heart Cake for my 28th birthday tomorrow.
'I started by adding a border of a lighter pink frosting to match the writing that I was going to put in the centre. I put this on both the top and side of the cake.
'I then added some edible pearls and some cocktail cherries with stems.'
Abbs confirmed that she bought the cherries from Amazon, and you'll also find the same edible pearls that she used on Amazon too.
Following this, she continued: 'I piped a bit of icing on to keep the cherries in place.
I DIY-ed a 'professional' level kids' birthday cake for less than £25 using Amazon & eBay buys - I didn't bake a thing
"Then [I] added some larger pearls around the top and side of the cake.'
As she showed off the finished cake, the foodie beamed: 'I sprinkled some of the final pearls on the top of the cake.
"Then this was the finished cake. I'm so pleased with how it's turned out.'
