Valentine’s Day can be the bane of someone’s existence or the highlight of the year. For those who enjoy celebrating, here are a few ideas for treating friends and family to delightful desserts paired with tea.
Mini Heart-Shaped Victoria Sponge Cakes — Create mini heart-shaped Victoria sponge cakes by cutting a sheet cake using a heart-shaped cookie cutter. Follow this Victoria sponge cake recipe, then sandwich two pieces together with buttercream and strawberry jam for a classic sweet filling.
Battenburg Cake — Make a colorful Battenburg cake with soft sponge layers held together using sweet apricot jam for traditional Battenburg filling and wrapped in marzipan. While the classic version uses pink and yellow, you can customize the colors to match Valentine’s Day themes such as red, pink, purple, or white.
Whoopie Pies — Prepare heart-shaped whoopie pies using devil’s food cake batter. Pipe heart shapes onto parchment-lined baking sheets, bake, then sandwich with frosting or buttercream for a festive treat.
