What is it about desserts that we feel compelled to serve them at holidays or special occasions? Maybe it’s that they’re always delicious & always look festive (even if the baker isn’t experienced!), and the most simplest of treats can bring smiles to the faces of those we love and appreciate! I guess these are the reasons that we love them so much–from cookies to cakes and everything in between–desserts are just simply fun to dish out! So get moving in the kitchen, or head to the bakery and hand out some treats to your special valentines…
a special valentine served with love…
a mini pound cake topped with “love” is the star of this valentine treat for my family…
simple supplies make this dessert look so festive!
gift bags, straws, and this adorable felt cake top…all found at Michael’s
a wood garland (from Target) makes a cute backdrop —
but you could easily make a paper hearts or tissue poms for an equally festive touch!

and adds to the “heart day” celebration!
something cold to wash it down…also embellished with hearts!
if you can’t locate this sweet topper on the cake–
try an alternative of cupcake picks like these pictured here…
crowd the picks all over the top of a cake for a fun substitute!
