second decorating attempt.. help!! please!!

hi guys! thank you so much for all your advice last time. crumb coating and keeping the spatula warm were total game changers. unfortunately i didn’t have enough supplies to redo any frosting at all and the s’s with the piping was difficult!!!!!!!!
this is for my grandmas birthday, she’s a weird creative so i think she will enjoy this even though it’s not very good. 🤧 i left my cake stand at my friends house last weekend and this was the flattest plate i have, i know it’s not ideal!!

the heart started out centred but as i tried to smooth it out it kept getting bigger and wonkier. how do i avoid that in the future?
i think the icing is significantly less grainy but its still fairly grainy. how do i avoid that too?
any advice at all about anything regarding decorating is GREATLY appreciated. ilyall 💗

if you make kinda weird cakes could you please post them in the comments! i want to see everyone else’s imperfect creations 🫶🫶🫶

i’ve just made this cake for my best friends birthday, luckily i know she’s going to love this because of how bad/silly it is. but it’s inspired me to try and get better at decorating!
i’ve loved baking since i was a teenager but i have NEVER been good at decorating. 😶 any advice at all would be amazing 💗

p.s it’s not meant to be patrick star.. that was an accident
