Okay, maybe not.
But there's no denying that Valentine's Day is quickly approaching. Store fronts are filled with all things pink and frilly, and florists and chocolate shops are armed and ready. If you've tried everything from bouquets of red roses to three foot chocolate bears filled with cream to heart shaped jewelry, you might be wondering what to do this year.
Perhaps I can help.
There's nothing sweeter on Valentine's Day than home-made treats. It says, even though I'm a 200 pound male who loves football and beer, I love you enough to spend hours in the kitchen cutting dough into tiny hearts and smearing them in sugary pink frosting. Or, just because we eat out every night doesn't mean I don't love you enough to tie on an apron and jeopardize my manicured nails to the dangers of the kitchen to bake a giant pink cake.
Now that's love.
And if you don't have someone special to bake for on Valentine's Day, bake for yourself! Everyone deserves a little sugar on the 14th, so don't be ashamed.
How about Heart Shaped Butter Cookies?
Or goblets of French Macaroons...
... and Tiny Raspberry Meringues?
Or a Neapolitan Ruffle Cake?
