Galentine's Day Vibes
Before we dive into the Valentine's themes, a moment for friendship!! Galentine's Day, celebrated on the 13th February, is a great excuse to bake some treats for your besties!
This cute "Girl Gang" slogan cake is so dreamy! @reginasbakes chose such a beautiful pastel colour palette for her lambeth style piping, on a classic heart shape! Grab our heart shaped ganache plates if you want to try this yourself! The baby blue cake board was the perfect finishing touch.
Our Favourite Frog Prince
Finding the words to sum up how cute this guy is? Impossible! A romantic icon, a frog prince cake is sure to be the hit of any Valentine's Day party table.
This beautiful cake is by the super talented @acakeonlife, who used The Modelling Paste and a selection of colourings from Sugarflair to create this scene stealing topper. Grab your modelling paste and tools and get creative with a memorable Valentine's character!
Valen-mine...
There is something SO satisfying about an all pink colour palette! This beautiful ruffly lambeth, complete with cute Valentine's pun, is a total showstopper.
To follow in the amazing @sweetgeebakes' footsteps, grab yourself some of the much loved ProGel colourings from Rainbow Dust, your favourite buttercream and piping tips, and you're good to go! Grace added some cute gold heart sprinkles from Scrumptious Sprinkletti as the perfect finishing touch.
Un-bear-ably Cute!
Looking for a little bake that says a lot? These meringue pops from @chikzpatisserie are the perfect choice!!
These would make the perfect addition to a treat table - it's something everyone will want one of! Or, if you're not big on Valentine's Day but want to give a tiny nod to it, this could be the ideal gift for a loved one! Bintcy used the iconic Wilton Meringue Powder to make these cuties.
Cutest Valentine's Day Cupcakes
Cupcakes are ALWAYS a win, if you ask us. Pick your colour palette, grab some cupcake mix and a pretty cupcake box, and get to work creating something they'll love!
Our amazing friend Judit from @yoras.cakes created these love hearts inspired sugarpaste toppers, which are such a fun idea. The adorable cases are the Bloom Baking Cups collection from FunCakes, which create this beautiful floral inspired shape! As far as Valentine's Day cake inspo goes, we LOVE this...
Miniature Magic
With these adorable mini cupcakes it'll be love at first bite! @_cakevicky went for a classic red and pink palette on these beauties and they couldn't be cuter!
The sugarpaste hearts make for the prettiest toppers, right? To create your very own, grab our Valentine's Day Bundle from THE SUGAR PASTE - it includes three must have shades. And, of course, you'll need a mini cupcake box to turn your bakes into the perfect gift!
Valentine's Day Cake - Bento Edition
Capture their heart with a Bento cake! A super cute and trendy option, we love these mini cakes, they make a perfect gift. This dreamy edition was created by @thecakerubiks and is a vision in pale pink!
Shop all the piping tools you need to create those beautiful borders - and remember, practice makes perfect with these designs! Finish it off with either a fondant topper or a piped slogan, for that extra personal touch.
My deer, I'm fawned of you...
If you're looking to the cutest Valentine's Day cake, we think we've found it! If you have a little more time on your hands, and the skills/desire to create your own model decorations, just look what you can achieve! It's almost too pretty to eat...
@bryncottagex used the Hello Valentine stamp from Sweet Stamp for the cute message, and worked with modelling paste to create the beautiful fawn and toadstool figures. Super cute woodland vibes, the perfect centrepiece for a Valentine's day party table!
Be Mine...
Don't mind us, we're just making major heart eyes at this gorgeous creation by our friend Sarah at @by.sarahteresa (formerly @bake.works)! Vibrant pink and red with love heart sweets as a cute and kitschy finishing touch? Obsessed!
Shop our colouring collection now to find the perfect tones for your bakes. Remember to consider what you're working with! Oil based colours work best with high fat ingredients like buttercream and chocolate, while water based colourings are what you need for meringue, macarons and royal icing.
Trendy Treat Box
It's always nice to have options, right? With a Valentine's treat box, you can gift your beloved with all of their favourite bakes in one beautiful box!
In this dazzling selection @thecakerubiks has included cupcakes (and mini cupcakes!), cakesicles, cookies and chocolates - what more could you want?!
Looking to make some cakesicles? Shop our cakesicle moulds and sticks here and add your very own to your next treat box.
Lambeth Love
Looking to get even more creative? If so, a Lambeth Valentine's Day cake is always sure to impress! This beauty by Lucy at @babycakes_ncl is a dream in pink, lilac and red - shop Colour Mill to get those same perfect shades!
When it comes to a Lambeth cake, it's all about having the right tools! Head to our piping collections to shop piping nozzles and piping bags, everything you need to create a flawless design that will be the talk of the night!
You're My Cup of Tea
Turn a simple sheet cake into a Valentine's Day masterpiece! Here, the amazing @yoras.cakes went with "You're my cup of tea" accompanied by cute handmade teapot and cup toppers! But you could choose any slogan you like to make it ultra personalised.
Judit piped the message with the delicious Enchanted Cream from FunCakes, for a glossy finish! And the beautiful shimmer on the teapot and cup is courtesy of the Fractal Colors SuPearl Shine dusts.
We hope these Valentine's Day cake ideas have got you feeling inspired! Whether you prefer baking small treats or something more lavish, we can't wait to see what you come up with. Don't forget to tag us and use #cakedecfamous so we never miss any of your creations!
