Valentine’s Day is almost here, and I thought it would be fun to share a little recipe DIY that’s super easy and customizable.
These Valentine’s Heart Cake Toppers are a fun way to top a homemade or store-bought cake for Valentine’s Day or a Galentine’s party.
If you are looking to save time (by 2-3 hours) or need a last-minute dessert for a party, this is a fun way to decorate a basic grocery-store cake and make it extra special.
I printed off some hearts as a template to help me make sure my hearts didn’t get too big or too small, and I included the template below in case you want to use it too.
I chose classic pink, red, and white colors with lots of sprinkles and edible glitter, but you can customize it with any colors or sprinkles.
What’s your favorite party dessert to make or eat during the Valentine’s season?

Ingredients
Instructions
- First, place the cake on a cake stand and pipe white frosting around the base and add sprinkles and edible glitter on top.
- Next, place the heart printable template under a piece of wax paper, then place the bamboo skewers, cut to your desired size, on top of the wax paper.
- Melt the pink candy wafers according to the package instructions, then add coconut oil (a teaspoon at a time) to make it smoother/thinner and easier to work with.
- Put the melted wafers into an icing bag and cut off the tip (make it pretty small so it won’t all pour out).
- Drizzle the melted wafers over the bamboo stick while creating a heart shape using the heart printable as a template.*(2)
- Before the candy wafers harden, add sprinkles on top.
- Once the candy wafers have hardened, spray them with edible glitter.
- Repeat steps 3-7 to create as many hearts as you want with white and red candy wafers.
- Once the candy wafers have hardened, carefully remove them from the wax paper and place them in the cake. I placed the smaller hearts on the shorter bamboo sticks in the front and the larger ones on the larger bamboo sticks in the back.
- Serve and enjoy!
Notes
- Alternatively, you can use Edible Gel Food Coloring (or this alternative, no artificial dye food coloring) in white chocolate.
- I found it easier to add some of the melted wafers under the bamboo stick to hold it in place while creating and filling in the heart shape.

that is, that God was in Christ reconciling the world to Himself, not imputing their trespasses to them, and has committed to us the word of reconciliation. Now then, we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God were pleading through us: we implore you on Christ’s behalf, be reconciled to God.
2 Corinthians 5:19-20 NIV
