I may not like Valentines Day that much, but I do like food, so to
me, the day is just as excuse to make pretty themed food. So I decided to make
a few of my favourite foods and drink, to enjoy as I spend the day watching
Pretty Little Liars.
Conversation hearts are always a cute gift on Valentines Day, but I
wanted to turn them into cookies, because lets face it, cookies are so much
nicer. So I just used a basic sugar cookie recipe for the cookie base, rolled
out the dough and cut out all the hearts. Whilst those were baking I started on
the glace icing, using just another basic recipe for that, and started
separating the icing into several bowls and add different food colouring dye to
each. When the cookies were baked and cooled I started the fun part of
decorating! I just added some of my favourite and most common conversation heart
words to the cookies. Let them set and voilà! This is my favourite of all three treats, as they’re such a great
party favour or gift idea.
Heart & Rose Cupcakes
Okay so cupcakes are my favourite thing ever! I have been baking
these for so many years, and never get bored of it, as there I always so many
new and fun things to do with them. So I just had to create some for Valentines
Day. I decided to just go with vanilla cupcakes and half the batter into two,
so that I could make heart shaped ones and normal round ones. I then decorated
the round ones with light pink icing, trying to make a rose patter, and top the
heart ones with red icing. Cupcakes are so simple and easy to make, and
definitely a yummy treat for a loved one, or yourself.
Red Velvet Hot Chocolate
With food, you need a drink, and what’s better than Hot Chocolate?
But who just wants a normal old hot chocolate on a special day like this? No
one. So how can you spruce up a hot chocolate? Make it a Red Velvet Hot
Chocolate of course! So if you want to make one for yourself, click on this

So those were my favourite treats that I decided to make myself to
get through this day. And now I will go and make some pasta, and sit down and
watch some How To Get Away With Murder. Happy Valentines Day!
