we made these super delicious desserts for my niece’s 2nd birthday this weekend, whose birthday is on valentine’s day. (you can see the whole party here!) while we can’t give out the recipes we used for these specifically (they’re for book reviews for chickpea!), we’ll point you to some equally awesome recipes you can try for valentine’s day.

try the red velvet cupcakes with vanilla buttercream frosting, or the white cake with cookie filling (the buttercream with crushed Newman-O’s mixed in!) and strawberry cream cheese frosting.

OR, try any of the below desserts from our archive. (just make them look better than we did, haha!)

chocolate cake with blueberry pomegranate filling

plum upside down cake

caramel pretzel brownies

booze-soaked cherry brownies

~*fancy stuffed pears

strawberry cupcakes

chocolate peanut butter heart cake (with homemade PB cups)

chocolate pear tart

pink lemonade frosting

carrot cake with cream cheese glaze

the perfect pancake (for the perfect breakfast in bed, of course)

hope you guys have a sweet valentine’s day :)
