It’s Valentine’s week and that means heart-shaped everything to celebrate. Here are my top picks.

Walmart’s Viral Heart Cakes & Cupcake Bouquets

Top recommendation are these $25 heart-shaped cakes by Walmart that are going viral for their vintage look. And, everyone is saying they do not disappoint. Some Walmart’s will allow you to customize your cake beyond what their website offers. If you are interested in that, I recommend you go into your local Walmart.

Another option are these cupcake bouquets for $20. Either way, they both are adorable and look delicious.

Most bakeries ask to have you to order at least 2-3 days in advance. Or they may have some pre-made in the bakery section. Otherwise, order online at https://www.walmart.com/. I searched for “heart cakes in bakery” and “cupcake bouquet bakery”.

Dairy Queen’s Red Velvet Blizzard Cupid Cake

This heart-shaped ice cream cake from Dairy Queen is made with layers of vanilla soft-serve ice cream, red velvet cake pieces and cream cheese icing and topped with a layer of the Red Velvet Cake Blizzard Treat. A perfect treat for two people to share, or a single person to enjoy with leftovers to spare. Each Red Velvet Blizzard Cupid Cake serves two to four people.

The Red Velvet Cake Blizzard Treat is also available on its own as part of DQ’s Valentine’s Day offerings, in a non-heart-shaped Blizzard cup.

Bruegger’s Heart Bagels

These heart-shaped bagels by Breugger’s Bagels are perfect for treating coworkers or a Galentine’s brunch. Preorder by Feb 12.

Nothing Bundt Cakes do not have a heart-shaped bundt, but I sure love their cakes. Plus, they have a whole collection for Valentine’s Day, Whole Lotta Love.
