Bake love with these Valentine’s Day cake recipes
Let love be the icing on these Valentine’s Day cake recipes this Valentine’s Day.
Valentine’s Day is a funny day for me, because it was the day before that, the 13th, that Ben and I first met – and I knew from that very day that we were going to be something special together.
Consequently, we’re more likely to celebrate our anniversary rather than Valentine’s Day.
However, my thinking there is that there’s no harm in using any of these Valentine’s Day recipes the day before, as even with our love of sweet treats (mine having significantly increased since we first met), it’s unlikely we could devour everything in one day.
And leftovers are always the best.
One of the reasons I focus on food for celebrations here at My Sweet Home Life, is that food, and the traditions around it, is memory making.
Think back to other occasions like birthdays, Halloween, Thanksgiving or Christmas and you’ll know what I mean.
So celebrate the season of affection is with this selection of Valentine’s cakes – (and also these Valentine’s cookies, cupcakes, charcuterie boards or desserts, plus a pink non-alcoholic drink or two ).
From red velvet sensations to delicate heart-shaped delights, there’s a cake for every palate – and every love story.
