Valentine’s Day is coming up so fast. It is shortly after my birthday (exactly one week) so sometimes we don’t do much because we’ve already spent our babysitter time/money on that celebration. So, instead of going out, we usually spend the night at home with a home cooked meal. Of course, you can’t have a great celebration without delicious Valentine’s Day desserts. My favorites usually involve some of kind of red velvet but with these amazing choices, I may have to rethink my usual dessert option for Valentine’s Day.
