Prep time: 30 min.
Baking time: 50 min.
Difficulty: Easy
What you'll need:
- 1 bag 3 MUSKETEERS® Mint Brand FUN SIZE®, chopped
- Baking sheet
- 2 craft sticks
- Resealable plastic bag
- 2 (9-inch) cake pans
- Waxed paper
- Printable template or 4-inch heart cookie cutter
- Cookie heart:
- 1/3 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 16.5-oz roll refrigerated sugar cookie dough
- 2 cups confectioners' sugar, sifted
- 1 tablespoon meringue powder/egg white powder
- 2 tablespoons warm water
- 2 tablespoons white decorator's sugar
- Cake:
- favorite white cake mix
- vanilla frosting
- Mint extract, optional
What to do:
- Cookie heart top:
- Knead flour into cookie dough. Roll dough until 1/4-inch thick. Use printable template to cut out double heart, transfer to baking sheet and insert craft sticks into each heart’s point.
- Bake in preheated 350-degree oven for 12-15 minutes or until golden. Cool completely before decorating.
- To make icing: beat confectioners’sugar, egg white powder and warm water until fluffy. Spoon into resealable bag with small snipped corner. Pipe one continuous line, outlining hearts. Decorate inside hearts with piping detail and decorator’s sugar.
- Cake:
- Prepare cake mix according to package directions. Pour into greased and waxed paper-lined cake pans. Bake in preheated 350 degree oven for 30-35 minutes. Cool completely.
- Blend mint extract with one container of frosting, if desired. Cut each cake into two layers. Begin layering the cake by placing one layer on serving plate, frosting, and sprinkling chopped 3 MUSKETEERS® Mint Brand FUN SIZE® in between each layer.
- Cover sides and top of cake with remaining container of frosting. Insert heart cookies on top just before serving.
Tips: Bake the cake layers the day before. Frosting a day-old cake is much easier than frosting a freshly baked cake.
Makes 16 servings.
