This simple yet stunning pretty Valentine’s Cake is perfect for any day of the year that you want to tell someone “I love you”!
Pretty Valentine’s Cake
Oh My! Valentine’s Day is upon us! If you have completely put off EVERYTHING (ehem, like I have) don’t fret! You can still have a lovely dessert without making it from scratch. I love a simple box cake mix. I don’t think there is anything wrong with it. I even love canned frosting. It’s not a sin. So, I made this wonderfully simply and beautiful cake for our early Valentine’s Day dessert. It’s so simple, but turned out quite stunning. I loved this how this pretty Valentine’s Cake turned out.
All you’ll need to do is pick up a few things at the store:
- A Chocolate Cake (from a box)
- Vanilla Frosting (from a 1 1/2 cans)
- Red Hot Candies
- Peeps Hearts
Bake. Frost. Decorate. Eat!
And, while it’s baking… get your arts and crafts on!
I made this fun banner to decorate the cake. It’s made from straws, some twine, washi tape and stickers. I love simple stuff! Don’t you?
More things in life should be this simple!
Like Laundry.
And Doing the Dishes.
And getting my daughter to Brush her Teeth and Make her Bed!
Yes, can someone please stuff those things into a box and make life easy?

I love the pretty topper you created! I just recently started playing with washi tape and it's great. It makes it so simple to add extra color to a batch of cake pops.

That is such a cute cake! I just bought those same straws at Michaels yesterday and that looks like something I could totally do. I am still on the hunt for my V-day dessert and my kids would think that was awesome! Thanks for sharing! I am pinning this for sure!

How creative. You did a wonderful job.
This is absolutely beautiful! Thanks so much for linking up with "Try a New Recipe Tuesday." I hope you will be able to join us again this week. 🙂
Simply stunning Karyn. In fact, I don't think it's simple at all, phenomenal is more of an apt word.
Also, I'm featuring you tonight on Sugar & Slice Sunday. Thanks for linking up. I hope you'll submit more this week. Thanks again.
