Our friend Sally from The Party Project is here with the cutest cookie idea for Valentine’s Day! This little DIY is so easy, it’s a perfect Valentine’s idea that kids can gift to their friends. Read on for the instructions for these cute love note cookies for Valentine’s Day.

Cute love note cookies for Valentine’s Day

What you will need:

• Cookie dough (here is The Party Project’s cookie dough recipe – CF)
• Heart Cutters, one large and one smaller (if you don’t have a smaller heart you could cut any shape inside the heart)
• Sprinkles
• Tiny love notes
• Royal icing
• Icing colours
• Icing bags (I just use zip lock backs and clips)
• Toothpick

2. Make your royal icing in two bowls, one a thicker toothpaste consistency for the outlines and the other a thinner shampoo consistency for flooding the cookie. Colour with your desired colours and place in your icing bags.

3. Take the top level of your cookies and outline them with your thick icing (above), then flood with your thinner icing, using a toothpick to pop any air bubbles. Set aside to dry.

With a little creativity (and scissors), it’s easy to make a last-minute cake topper! Here are some ideas we love.

DIY mini dessert toppers

Print out some cute shapes on to some card (Officeworks printing offers a variety of card thicknesses). Cut them to shape and stick a toothpick onto them. These are perfect for cupcakes, donuts or any other small desserts.

Giant circle topper

We just love the look of a huge topper on a cake! We made this one by cutting two cardstock circles. We stuck them together for extra thickness. The name customisation was done with our Cricut JOY cutting machine, but you could just as easily draw or paint your messaging. For extra sturdiness, I used a leftover take away chopstick as the spike.

Foam Sticker cake toppers

Officeworks have a cute range of foam stickers in the kid’s section. Simply take two of the same shapes and stick to each other with a skewer in the middle. So cute!

Pinata cake topper

One of our favourite DIY cake topper ideas that we’ve yet to try is a pinata cake topper! You can find instructions here on Pinterest.

Banner topper

Another idea to try one the shortlist – grab some letter stickers (easy to find in any kids craft section), cut out a banner shape and stick some wording on there.

We made a simple shimmery backdrop using sequin fabric and a timber board.

We simply used a pre-cut board and our trusty Makita staple gun to staple down our piece of sequin fabric.

Some glue applied with a paint roller may help stabilise it before application, but only a touch.

You can find this sequin fabric in the dance fabric section of Spotlight: This is the type here.
