Who’s ready for Valentine’s Day?! I’m keeping the party going with an easy Valentine’s Day cake idea using everyone’s favorite holiday candy. This conversation heart cake is covered head-to-do in the classic candies! Inspired by my friend Kristin’s Lucky Charms cake, this is probably the easiest way to decorate a cake for Valentine’s Day. Placing these conversation heart candies may be laborious, but don’t worry, you don’t need professional baking skills to make a pretty cake (I’m proof). The candies fit together like a puzzle to cover the cake in a fun, colorful pattern! Keep reading for my simple tips for making this conversation heart cake.

You can find conversation hearts at almost any store this time of year, including dollar stores. I’m pretty sure I bought out the supply at my local Target…

To make this conversation heart cake, you will need a LOT of candies. I’d recommend approx two 14 oz packs. Make sure the words on the candies are facing out – that’s the best part! You can try this easy Valentine’s Day cake trick on any size you wish and may need more or less candy. My cake is 6-inches with 3 layers.

Use Conversation Hearts to Make an Easy Valentine’s Day Cake

Supplies:

  • Favorite cake recipe
  • Large batch of buttercream frosting
  • Pink food coloring
  • Angled spatula
  • Conversation heart candies, 2 14 oz. packs

Step 1: Layer and frost the cake with a somewhat smooth layer of icing. Don’t worry if it isn’t perfect! Luckily it will get covered with candies. Refrigerate about 30 minutes until frosting begins to firm up.

Step 2: Then start arranging candy hearts around the base of the cake. Work upward and outward until your cake is full with conversation hearts. Try to arrange the candies so that the colors alternate as much as possible. Each heart shape will be at a different angle to fit together like almost like a puzzle.

Fill it up, and it’s ready to serve! Keep in mind that as your Valentine’s Day cake sits, the moisture may impact the candy. Take a moment to sit back and admire your conversation heart cake after all that work! You deserve it.

Now, what’s your favorite conversation heart flavor?! I like yellow and orange best. I don’t even know what “flavor” they’re supposed to be.

WELL, I was going to post this photo and talk abou WELL, I was going to post this photo and talk about the new pins in the shop...but they SOLD OUT in 12 hours instead πŸ˜­πŸ™ Andrew and I are so overwhelmed with the love of the #FIPWarriors community. Thank you to anyone who's purchased a pin to support Milo's treatment! We're so close to the end now! One more batch of pins coming up soon 😽
What do you mean I have to take down my Christmas What do you mean I have to take down my Christmas decorations?! 😭 Half our neighbors already took down their Christmas lights, so I guess the only goal is to not be the LAST one with lights up. How long do you keep up your decorations?
Maybe next year I'll finally remember to do a holi Maybe next year I'll finally remember to do a holiday card before it's a week til Christmas, so we can actually send one πŸ€ͺ When we get Christmas cards, I always feel like a little kid getting mail again! Do you send a holiday card??⁠
⁠
(Grab this DIY card holder in the blog archives! πŸ‘‰)
More product is coming soon! πŸŽ‰ I'm honestly SHO More product is coming soon! πŸŽ‰ I'm honestly SHOCKED to see Milo's pins sell out so quickly. We made 50 with the expectation that we wouldn't sell very many, but I just put in an order for more inventory! 😭⁠
⁠
This time we'll be selling black and white cat "FIP Warrior" pins to help raise money for Milo's treatment. Stay tuned - a pre-sale is coming! Pins will ship again in early January. In the meantime, there's plenty of other products available in the shop! (Visit my @etsy via the link in my bio)
NEW LAUNCH! 😸 Thank you all so much for your su NEW LAUNCH! 😸 Thank you all so much for your support of Milo while he goes through FIP treatment! I designed a new enamel pin to help us raise the funds to pay for Milo's treatment...THEN we sold almost all of the pins in just in a few hours! I'm so thankful and in shock of the generosity of our FIP community 😭⁠
⁠
There are a few left and more on the way, so you can SHOP NOW on @etsy and here on IG!! If you want a pin and they are sold out, please tag yourself below! Visit the link in my bio to purchase πŸ›β

"FIP Warrior" is the name we give to cats fighting FIP and the humans who help them, bringing awareness to the disease and possible treatments. Our Warrior Milo is almost halfway through his treatment and we couldn't be more grateful to see him getting better! Every purchase from my shop helps us to pay for his expensive treatments and is so, so appreciated πŸ™πŸΌ
🍁 I can't beLEAF it's been a whole month since 🍁 I can't beLEAF it's been a whole month since my last post (oops!) but I had to fit in my one obligatory fall photo before I dive straight into Christmas! If you caught my Stories recently, you may have already seen why I've been so absent...⁠
⁠
Last month, our sweet Milo was diagnosed with a disease called feline infectious peritonitis (FIP). It's very serious and has required our full attention to give him daily injections that should help him recover. The treatment is 84+ days long and has taken a huge emotional toll on us. You can learn more about Milo's FIP story in my profile Highlights!⁠
⁠
Long story short: I've been too emotionally drained from Milo's treatment, my regular work and the crazy world around us to even think about social media 😣 I truly don't know how you fellow creators do it! Hopefully the cheerfulness of Christmastime gives me the urge to create again! (πŸ“Έ cookies made for a project with @spectrumorganic)
