Tiny conversation heart candies with romantic sayings on them are a Valentine's Day staple, but this Studio DIY project brings an even sweeter twist to classic holiday treat. Lucky for those with a sweet tooth, these conversation hearts are bumped up considerably in size by being made from donuts.
The conversation heart donuts are put together by preparing a donut batter and forming them into heart shapes. After the heart-shaped donuts have cooked and cooled, they really begin to look like conversation hearts with the addition of a colorful frosting. To finish off the Valentine's Day treats, one or two lines of romantic sayings can be piped onto the frosting. This is a super sweet idea for Valentine's, since the messages that you choose to pipe onto the donuts can be quite personal and heartfelt.
