A Few Ideas For Valentine's Baking

I didn't blog any specific Valentine's Day recipes last year as my blog was brand new then. I can't even remember if I made anything in particular as there was still loads of the maple and pecan birthday cake left that I had last year. After being together for nearly 7 years we don't put a huge amount of effort into Valentine's Day anymore, I'd much rather that my boyfriend spoil me on my birthday which is 2 days before. Plus it's our anniversary in early April so we tend to celebrate more then. Depending on how the rest of the week goes I might get round to baking something specific, but for now here's a round up of a few of the things I've made in the past 12 months that would make a nice romantic treat to share. I'm going to a 'Made With Love' themed Clandestine Cake Club event on the 18th but you'll have to wait until the day after to see the cake that I make for that.
