While a number of coffee chains offer sweet treats for Valentine's Day, you can now make your own heart donuts at home that also have some pop culture flair. From the blog Aww, Sam, the DIY heart emoji donuts are vibrant and bold. They make a fun treat to bring into a kid's classroom or a cute dessert to serve at any February 14th festivity.
Blogger Sam went with vanilla flavored donuts, but you could easily change up the flavor of your own heart donut batch if you prefer. White fondant and gel food coloring is used to create the emoji effect. You will also need a heart-shaped donut pan to get the shape just right.
