This Heart-Shaped Cookie Wreath is the perfect whimsical dessert for Valentine’s Day or a romantic dinner! A centerpiece everyone can eat!

Edible Valentine’s Wreath

If you are looking for an edible centerpiece for your next Valentine’s Day party or tea party, this is a fun one! Made with cake-cookies, conversation hearts, and frosting, this is an easy dessert that you can share with all of your guests or just your sweetheart! 

One of those vegetarian desserts that you can make at the last minute, if you keep the frosting and white cake mix in your cupboards, you’re good to go at any time! 

If you plan to make this wreath at different times during the year, I highly suggest buying some boxes of Valentine’s conversation hearts in late January or early February. They are more difficult to find during the year, but they make this wreath a lot more fun. You want people to be able to walk by and graze.

Cookie Wreath

Ingredients:
1 box white cake mix (I used Duncan Hines)
2 eggs
2 Tbsp flour
1/2 cup vegetable oil
1 tub hot pink frosting

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees and line two cookie sheets with parchment paper. 

In a large mixing bowl, combine the white cake mix and flour.

Add in the 2 eggs and vegetable oil, mixing well. You may find this easier using a hand mixer. 

You will want to make all of your cookies the same size, so if you have a small cookie scoop, take that out at this point. If you don’t have one, use a tablespoon.

Scoop out balls of  cookie dough one by one and use your hands to gently roll each into a ball. Place each of the cookie dough balls on the baking sheet a few inches apart from each other.

You should have 18 – 20 cookies when you are done, but you need to have at least 12 to make the heart. 

Bake for 8 – 10 minutes, making sure that everything looks cooked through.

Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool completely on the baking sheet or a wire cooling rack.

Once the cookies have cooled, arrange 12 cookies on a large platter in the shape of a heart. You can make a smaller heart on a smaller platter with the other cookies if you have enough. 

Attach a star frosting tip to a piping bag and fill the bag with pink frosting. Gently squeeze the frosting out of the bag in a circular motion onto each cookie (like in the photo). Repeat this with all of the cookies.

If you don’t have a star tip or pastry bags, move your frosting into a plastic baggie and cut a small tip off the end to create a makeshift pastry bag.

Fill in the middle of your now-frosted cookie heart with Valentine’s conversation candy hearts from your local store (CVS and Walgreens should both carry them in January and February), and you’ve created your Heart-Shaped Cookie Wreath!

Can I Use A Different Color Frosting? 

Yes! You may want to try to pair the frosting color with one of the colors of your conversation hearts, but use whatever color and flavor you prefer. This is your wreath, so it should reflect you. 

I Can’t Find Conversation Hearts – What Should I Use?

If you can’t find conversation hearts, fill the middle of your cookie wreath with something else! You can use Hershey’s Kisses, pink Starburst, multi-colored Nerds, M&M’s, Lindor Truffles, jellybeans or any other candy that you enjoy.
