Let's make Copycat Little Debbie Valentine's Day Cakes
Before I even get into this recipe, I have to say this recipe takes 2 hours to make. So you really have to have time to make this and each step is necessary. You can't skip a step in this recipe or it won't come out right. I've seen this recipe around on Instagram and I wanted to make it for a while. But I didn't want to make a cake from scratch. I knew my Betty Crocker cake mix would come in handy for this recipe. And using a box cake mix actually saved me a bunch of time.
This is a difficult recipe to make
I won't lie this Copycat Little Debbie Valentine's Day Cakes recipe takes patience so if you don't have it, don't even start making this recipe. It's not easy AT ALL. I started this recipe at 2pm, and finished at 4pm. Yes it takes a while but the end result is so fun and tasty. My favorite part about this recipe is how light the cake is and slightly sweet the pink coating is. Everything just tastes so good when you bite it.

Copycat Little Debbie Valentine's Day Cakes
Ingredients
- 1 Betty Crocker White Box Mix
Frosting
- 1 Jar of fluff
- 1 Stick of softened Butter
- 2 Cups Powdered sugar
- Pinch of salt
Pink Coating
- Package Vanilla Almond Bark
- Pink Gel Food Coloring
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350
- Coat your baking sheet in baking spray
- Mix up your white cake mix according to the cake box. Pour the cake mixture on the baking sheet and baking for 33-35 minutes. Check the cake at the 30 minute make to make sure it's baked fully.
- Once the cake is done, let it cool for 30 minutes before you use your heart shaped cookie cutter to make shapes.
- As the cake is cooling, make your frosting mixture.
- Mix the frosting ingredients above in a medium-sized bowl and add it to a piping bag.
- Once I cut the cake with the heart shaped cookie cutter, I also cut the cake in half and added the frosting mixture. Check out the video to see how I cut the cake.
- Freeze this cake with the frosting inside for an hour. Once the hour is up melt the almond bark and pink gel food coloring. Save ½ cup of the almond bark in a bowl to pour some on top of the pink coating. Once you dip the cakes in the pink coating, set it on a cooling rack with parchment paper on top. Once the pink coating is dry, I use a fork to drizzle some of the left over melted white almond bark on top of the cake.
- Let this fully dry and enjoy!
