People Are Making Breakup Cakes And We're Obsessed

Take a note from Ariana Grande's book and bid your ex "Thank U, Next" with a cake that looks like a conversation heart. It's a great option if this is your first or tenth Valentine's Day single.

Brit Tip: Practice your penmanship by icing your phrase on a sheet before your cake.

Sometimes you just need a reminder that your gal pals have been in a similar situation. And more often than not, a simple design gets the message across perfectly. Feel free to add a bit of glitter.

Brit Tip: If you don't have an icing smoother, try using a long knife or a cutting board instead.

The perfect thing to pair with a breakup cake? A breakup song! We'll be playing Taylor until further notice, thanks.

Brit Tip: Drag a fork across the surface of your cake to create a textured finish.

Honestly is the best policy, after all. Decorate the edges of the cake with berries, and try alternating between different varieties for a colorful finish.

Brit Tip: Make a layered cake with jam that matches your accent berry.

Another take on a breakup cake is topping it with all the foods you'll want to eat when you're sad. AKA chocolate covered strawberries and kettle corn... or you can just make a molten lava chocolate cake. That sounds good too.

Brit Tip: Cut a hole in the center of all your cake layers so that when you cut a slice, the filling spills out.

Use a knife or letter cooke cutters to spell out your message. A funfetti cake keeps everything looking good, even if you choose to skip the icing.

Brit Tip: If you don't want icing, poke holes in your cake with a fork and pour a sauce over instead.

A bright and cartoon-y design makes a breakup cake even more fun. Go for bold neons or a watercolor cake with edible gold leaf. The world is your oyster.

Brit Tip: Use some fondant to make your letters sturdier.

While we're fans of having important conversations face to face, you could technically use your frosting instead.

Brit Tip: If you don't have a blowtorch but still want the toasted marshmallow icing effect, try your broiler.

Something short and sweet is an easy way to get any message across.

Brit Tip: If you don't have icing bags, fill and cut the end off of a Ziplock bag.

A beautiful design will make even the hardest of messages easier to digest. (Digest...get it?)

Brit Tip: Use icing to "glue" the fruit to the cake.

Don't just bake a cake, throw a party! Find all the confetti, streamers, and balloons you can find. Bonus points if your outfit matches the cake decoration.

Brit Tip: Use a frosting and berries with matching colors to make things minimal and pretty.
