Valentine's Day Desert Ideas

[juno]

I'm starting to think about what to make for Valentine's Day. I like to come up with creative ideas that have beautiful presentation. I found a few desert ideas here: https://romancerecipes.wordpress.com/tag/chocolate-mug-cake/

I really like the mug cakes. There is something romantic about individual small servings in pretty mugs. It is very unique because you would not normally serve cake in a mug.

That's such a lovely idea Valentine's day desserts. I haven't made those in a while but the last time I did, I made a special breakfast! It was very simple really because my partner loved his coffees and cappuccinos I just made a cappuccino with a heart shape and biscuits letters that spelled I love you! He loved it and thought it to be very thoughtful. The heart shape is just frothed milk and you shape it into a heart with a tooth pick.
All the best with your dessert.

For anyone who likes the idea of strawberries and cream on Vaentine's Day, here is a twist on the whole thing. I found a recipe for Strawberry Drenched in Honeyed Cream. What is even more unique about this is that the cream has basil in it. I tried the recipe out and my entire home was infused with the most lovely scent. Wouldn't it be nice to wake your loved one up to a nice breakfast with this sweet scent. Here is the recipe for it.

I saw someone make cake pops for an occasion on television. Cake pops are mini cakes on the end of a stick just like popsicles or blow pop candy. I thought this was so cute. The cakes were dipped in frosting and decorated. They also have these plastic covers with twisties wrapped around them. I had never seen this before. They look really pretty for children in an inexpenisve decorated bucket from the dollar store. They could be arranged to look like a flower arrangement.
