DIY Shortbread Heart Biscuit Cake
***
So not actually a cake, but a very delicious and not so complicated way to really impress if you need a last minute solution for Valentine’s Day!
This week’s edible DIY is three layers of shortbread sandwiched with buttercream/frosting and decorated with whatever you know your other half loves! We’ve gone with gummy hearts, the classic love hearts and blueberries to stick with the “Valentine’s” theme (the blueberries not so much, but they added a contrast of colour and fruit makes it healthy right?!).
And if you’re not a fan of, or don’t celebrate Valentine’s Day itself, you can of course create any shape/number/letter you like so it’s suitable for any occasion. All you need is to create a template in the shape of your choice! (Hint: a cereal box works very well as something to create your template from)
Vanilla Shortbread recipe:
- 300g plain flour
- 250g unsalted butter
- 125g caster sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Vanilla buttercream:
- 125g unsalted butter
- 295g icing sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Don’t forget to tag us in your photos if you have a go at making this week’s DIY. We’d love to see!
