Step 1: Bake the Cake

• Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
• Prepare your cake mix according to box instructions and pour into a parchment-lined baking sheet for thin, even layers.
• Bake for 20–25 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.
• Let it cool completely before cutting.

Step 2: Cut Out the Hearts

• Use your heart-shaped cookie cutter to slice out even pairs from the cooled cake.
• You should get around 10–12 heart sets, depending on cutter size.

Step 3: Fill the Cakes

• Spread a layer of marshmallow creme or whipped frosting on one heart and top with its pair to form a sandwich.
• Press gently so the filling just peeks out.

Step 4: Make the Coating

• Melt white chocolate chips or candy melts in the microwave, stirring every 30 seconds.
• Add a few drops of red or pink food coloring to achieve that signature shade.

Step 5: Coat and Decorate

• Dip or spoon the pink coating over each heart cake until fully covered.
• Place on a cooling rack and let the coating harden.
• Add sprinkles or glitter before it sets if you’re feeling extra festive.

Step 6: Chill and Serve

• Refrigerate for 10–15 minutes to help the coating set fully.

• Serve chilled or room temperature—and enjoy the smiles!
