But first, let's take a minute to give a shout out to our local thrift stores! My Husband took me to a construction supply/ furniture re-sale shop that I didn't even know about. I got this almost completely full 5 gallon bucket of lightweight spackle for under $20! 😎😎😎
Now back to those mini fake bakes:
These tiny molds are some that I found awhile ago at a yard sale and had stored in my supplies. Every so often I like to go through and see what I have lying around that I can use up, it helps keep my craft studio from getting too full!

Using foam board I cut circles just big enough for the molds to sit on top of, and then painted the foam in gold.
A bit of hot glue held the molds in place.
And then it was on to decorating!
All of the molds I completely covered in spackle, three by applying it with a spatula and one I used an icing tip to give more texture. A couple of them got a dollop of faux chocolate - just mix in a bit of acrylic paint with your spackle and pipe on with an icing bag. All of them were topped with faux berries.
The berries I picked up at a thrift store during the Christmas season. Intended to be cranberry garlands, I just cut off all of the berries to repurpose for my fake bakes. You can leave them the original shade or repaint them to look like cherries, large blueberries, etc. The holiday season is a great time to find items that can be repurposed for fake baking 😍
And there you have it, easy to make miniature Valentine cakes!
