I’m planning on some hands-on V-Day activity at home for this weekend, and was just blown away by this idea from I Am Mommy! A simple white cake with a beautiful bright velvet heart.
And the tutorial is simple enough (fingers crossed), for a sometime baker like me. Plus, this kind of reality check is perfection: “Now. Go eat an apple. Seriously. ‘Cause if you are anything like me you have been snacking on the cake scraps this whole time and you need a healthy energy boost.” LOVE IT!!!
And you can get even more Valentine's Day dessert ideas here in our Valentine's Day center.
