Valentine Hearts Cake

Wilton’s Candy Melts are one of my favorite gems to use for fun holiday treats.  Last year I used them to make a batch of yummy Valentine Marshmallow Pops.  This year I picked up three bags from Michael’s in red, pink, and white to use for Valentine’s Day, and got to work creating these fun and festive swirly heart cake toppers for our family Valentine Cake.  I love how they turned out, and my family (kids especially) loved eating the oversized candy hearts!  Check out my simple tutorial to learn how to make these cuties using cookie cutters as templates.  I’m excited to try them for other holidays too.  Imagine green 4 Leaf Clovers for St. Patrick’s Day, pastel eggs for Easter, patriotic colored stars for the 4th of July.  The possibilities are endless!  You can use them to top a cake like I did, make smaller ones for cupcakes and cookies, or even top a cup of fruit with whipped cream for a healthier version.
