Heart-Shaped Cakes: How to Pick the Right Heart Cake for Love, Birthdays and More

A heart says it before anyone reads the writing. Whether you want a love cake for Valentine's Day or your anniversary, or a heart-shaped cake for a birthday or a graduation, Avon Cake has ready-made heart cakes from a 2-inch mini for one to a 12-inch cake for 10, in red, white or pink, and most come with a field for your message. Here's each one, who it suits, how many it serves, and when to order.

Pick a heart cake by headcount

The 12-inch size must be booked the day before. For every size in detail, see our cake size guide.

1. Classic heart cakes in your colour, with your message

Heart Cake

The Heart Cake is the classic: a heart-shaped cake decorated with pearls, in white or red, with your message on top. In the photo it's white with piped edges, and "Happy Birthday 25" is written in pink inside a heart of silver pearls.

• Sizes: 5 inch (3 people), 6 (4), 8 (6), 10 (8), 12 (10, book the day before).

Heart Cake with Pearls

Prefer pink or sky blue? The Heart Cake with Pearls is a pearl-trimmed heart that comes with a board, and you write your message on the cake. The photo shows a pink heart with red piped edges and a birthday message in red. Same sizes as the Heart Cake: 5 to 12 inch.

2. Ready-made love cakes for Valentine's and anniversaries

Heartbeat Cake

The Heartbeat Cake is a red heart with ruffled cream edges, pearls and red bows, with "I love you" written in white. It comes in 5 to 12 inch and has a field for your own message.

Heart Arrow Cake

The Heart Arrow Cake is a smooth red heart with "Happy Valentines" in gold and a gold arrow through it, finished with a feather and a heart-shaped tip. It comes in 6 to 12 inch, with a field for your message.

Heart of Love Cake (with a calendar for your date)

The Heart of Love Cake is a white heart with black outlines, a piped rose, red petals and "Happy Valentine's Day", sitting on a calendar board. You add your message on the cake and the date you want marked on the board: your milkah, your wedding anniversary or 14 February. It's 5 inch (3 people) or 6 inch (4).

A love cake doesn't have to be a heart

• Red Heart Love Cake: a small round cake in white cream with a red heart on top and a red ribbon and bow around the base, on a calendar board with your date. 5 inch (3 people) or 6 inch (4).
• Love Cake: a round white cake with a red heart and the word "love" in the middle, from 5 to 12 inch.

3. Small heart cakes for one or two

For a simple gift or a surprise for one person, go for a small heart in its own box:

• Mini Heart Ring Box: a 2-inch heart for one, about the size of a cupcake, in a ring-style box, with your message on top.
• Heart Lunch Box: a 4-inch heart for two, decorated with little hearts, in pink, white or sky blue, in a cardboard lunch box.
• Heart Bracelet Box: a 5-inch heart for three, in pink cream with a red border and sugar-paste pearls, inside a bracelet-style box.

4. Hearts for other occasions

Graduation: Heart-Shaped Graduation Cake

The Heart-Shaped Graduation Cake is a double-height heart with graduation decorations and a small cap topper. It has a field for a letter on the cake (optional) and one for your message. In the photo: a black-and-white heart with a gold "M" and "Congrats".

• Sizes: 5 inch (5+ people), 6 (7+), 8 (11+), 10 (15).

Birthday with the age: Heart Crystals Cake

The Heart Crystals Cake is a red heart covered in colourful crystals and red bows, and you type the age in its "age on the cake" field, like the 20 in the photo. It comes in 6, 8, 10 and 12 inch.
Good to know: the crystals are decoration and can't be eaten, so remove them before cutting.

5. Want a heart in your own design?

Open Design Your Cake and choose the heart shape in 4, 6, 8, 10 or 12 inch, then the filling, the colour, your writing on the cake or board, a printed photo if you like, and extras. The 12-inch heart must be booked the day before.
