How to Make a Heart Shaped Valentine Cake


by Jane Lake

You don't need a heart shaped cake pan to make a heart shaped Valentine cake - just improvise with more readily available square and round cake pans.

You will need:

  • 8 or 9 inch square cake pan

  • 8 or 9 inch round cake pan

  • homemade or purchased cake mix and icing for two cakes

  • Valentine cake decorations - heart shaped sprinkles, chocolate kisses, cinnamon hearts, conversation heart candies etc.

    1. Prepare and bake a square cake and a round cake. Let both cakes cool.

    2. Cut the round cake in half.

    4. Position the two half circle cakes, as shown, on either side of the top part of the diamond to form a heart-shaped cake. Cut and trim, if needed, to make the cake sections fit together properly.

    5. Cover the cake with icing and decorate as desired.

    I didn't even think of this way to make a heart shaped cake! It is so clever and obvious! For the following comments below, I agree, I didn't want to buy a specific cake pan either!

    I have a Valentine's Day function at my son's school-I'm sure this will be a hit! I'm SO glad I don't have to purchase a heartshaped pan!

    Thank you so much. Such a simple idea. I didn't want to purchase a heart cake pan. I knew there has to be any easy way to do this.
