When cold, cut each cake in half horizontally (4 slices).
Make up butter cream: cream 8 oz. (1 cup) butter with 1 lb. (just over 2 1/2 cups) sifted icing (con¬fectioners') sugar and 2 tablespoons (2 1/2 T) milk. Colour pale pink with red food colouring then sandwich layers of cake together generously with butter cream. Swirl remaining cream over top.
To make marshmallow petals: snip as many white marshmallows as required 6 times with scissors dipped into hot water (6 petals). Stand on top of cake then place a candle and holder in centre of each.
