Valentine’s Day is right around the corner, and there’s no better way to celebrate than with a heart-shaped sugar cookie cake. This show-stopping dessert is as delicious as it is beautiful!

To create this two-layer cookie cake, start by making your favorite sugar cookie dough (or use my recipe). Roll the dough out to about ¼ inch thick, and use a sheet of wax paper as your template for the heart shape. Place the wax paper on the dough, trace around it with a knife, and carefully cut out your cookie. Repeat the process for the second layer. Bake both cookies until they’re golden but still soft, then let them cool completely.

Once your cookies are cool, it’s time to assemble. Carefully place one heart-shaped cookie on your serving platter. Using a piping bag filled with vanilla buttercream, pipe dollops of frosting all over the surface. The key here is to create a uniform layer of frosting to ensure a stunning presentation. Gently place the second cookie on top, aligning it with the bottom layer. Repeat the process, piping dollops of buttercream over the top cookie layer.

Now for the fun part: decorating! Elevate your heart-shaped cookie cake with an array of toppings. Fresh berries, pastel macarons, colorful sprinkles, or flowers can add an extra special touch. Let your creativity shine to make the cake personalized.

This heart-shaped sugar cookie cake is perfect for Valentine’s Day, birthdays, anniversaries, or any occasion that calls for a little extra sweetness. It’s guaranteed to impress your loved ones while satisfying their sweet tooth. So grab your apron and get ready to bake up some love!
