Whip up some baked goodies for the ones you love with these Valentine's desserts.
Written by MOLLY SNELSON


  • Baking sweets for your loved ones is a simple way to go minimal on the spending but go BIG on the gesture. Homemade gifts are always best and these are the kind that could be given to anyone for Valentine’s Day. My kids and I bake for all the holidays and then deliver treats to our neighbors, but teachers, bosses, your best gal pals or anyone you care for would be grateful recipients! We scoured the interwebs for the prettiest Valentine’s confections and here’s what we found, happy baking. Spread the LOVE.
