So, as it turns out, I have a small obsession with the emoji heart and this is my THIRD emoji heart tutorial! Yes, you heard right, folks, I’ve done two other emoji heart projects (see heart clutch and BFF necklaces).

And when I found this heart-shaped donut pan, I knew another emoji donut project needed to happen! This is the perfect treat for your Valentine’s Day parties or to give to your best donut-loving gal pals. Who doesn’t love #emojisinthewild?!

This is one of my easier donut tutorials, and all it takes to transform this normal heart donut into an emoji is a little bit of fondant. Find the how-to below!
