A chocolate heart smash is a breakable chocolate heart filled with a sweet surprise, you smash it open with the little hammer it comes with to reveal the treats inside, making it a fun, interactive gift for Valentine’s, birthdays and celebrations. Part gift, part experience, this chocolate smash heart is as much about the moment of breaking it open as the chocolate itself, all handmade at an independent cake shop Birmingham trusts.
We are an independent, family-run cake factory in Birmingham, trusted with more than 950 five-star Google reviews (4.9★) and holding a 5-star FSA food hygiene rating.
The breakable chocolate heart has become one of the most-loved novelty gifts around, and it is easy to see why: it is interactive, it is a surprise, and it is utterly delicious. Hand someone a beautiful chocolate heart and a little hammer, and the fun begins, one tap and the shell breaks open to reveal whatever treats are hidden inside. It is a gift and a moment in one.
This guide covers how it works, the fillings and finishes, the occasions it suits, and how to order, with ideas towards the end of the page.
It could not be simpler. Your chocolate breakable heart arrives with a small wooden hammer, and you smash the chocolate with the hammer to crack open the shell. Inside is the surprise, sweets, chocolates or a hidden message, so this smashable chocolate heart turns gift-giving into a little event. Children and grown-ups alike love the breakable chocolate with hammer moment.
The inside is where you personalise it. We can fill your heart with a choice of sweets and treats, and finish the outside in different colours and decorations to suit the occasion. For a fully bespoke idea, our Personalised Cakes service can help.
Configure your order through our online shop at any hour, or contact us directly for a bespoke design. We confirm the filling, the colour and finish, and your delivery details before we begin, then make everything fresh for your date — nothing is frozen and nothing is mass-produced.
The shell is smooth, handcrafted chocolate, and we finish it to suit the occasion, classic, romantic reds and pinks for Valentine’s, soft pastels for a birthday, or bold colours and metallic touches for something striking. Decorated with drizzle, edible pearls or a topper, the chocolate heart is a beautiful gift even before it is smashed open.
On dietary matters: as with all our treats, we are not an allergen-free kitchen, and because our kitchen handles a range of ingredients we cannot guarantee against the presence of any allergen. If the person receiving it has a diagnosed food allergy, please speak to us before ordering.
A chocolate heart smash makes a wonderful gift on its own, or alongside a cake.

Add candles, a balloon or a personalised message card to complete the gift.

Unfortunately, no. Our cake shop Birmingham delivers to all B1 to B99 postcodes, and we use advanced route management software to optimise delivery routes and timings. Changing one delivery slot would affect other customers and disrupt the carefully planned schedule, so we are unable to adjust delivery time windows once they have been allocated.
We appreciate your understanding as we work to ensure every cake is delivered efficiently, safely, and on time.
Yes, our cake shop Birmingham can accommodate a change of delivery address if you contact us before 8:00 am on the day of delivery and the new address is within half a mile of the original location. Because we deliver across all B1 to B99 postcodes using carefully optimised routes, changes beyond this distance may disrupt other customers’ deliveries and therefore cannot be guaranteed.
