These detailed dollhouse valentine's cakes are an easy to make project. They are made from dry floral arrangement foam which takes only moments to shape into a range of heart shaped cake bases. You can coat the basic cake shapes with acrylic gesso to protect the foam, then move right onto decorating the cakes with a range of materials.

Materials Used to Make Valentine's Cakes:

  • Small Sections of Dry Floral Arrangement Foam
  • Acrylic Paints
  • Fine Glitter
  • Foil Ribbon or Scraps of Foil Paper
  • Heart Shaped Paper Punch to make tiny "candy" decorations.
  • Precision Tip or Fine Line Applicator for thin lines of 'icing' or glaze.
  • Polymer Clay Blade or thin craft knife to cut the floral foam.
  • PVA Glue or Dimensional Glaze
