Red-Hot Molded Hearts
This cool salad gets a bit of "warmth" from melted cinnamon candies. Stirred into strawberry gelatin, the applesauce picks up a rosy hue and molds wonderfully.

Strawberry Heart Cake
My granddaughter, Leslie, was born on Valentine’s Day, so every year I bake up this special strawberry heart-shaped cake for her. We love the berries folded right into the batter.

Cherry Meringue Dessert

Valentine Cutouts
Cool, fruity and creamy, these gelatin treats are richer than plain gelatin and cut easily into whatever shape you’d like. They’re a fun finger food that works for any holiday or theme.

Sweetheart Walnut Torte

I always donate one of these lightly sweet, heart-shaped tones for our church bake sale. The congregation never gets to see it, howev­er—the ladies in charge quickly put it aside for one of them to buy!

Triple Chocolate Kisses

These crisp meringue cook­ies with a chocolate center are easy to make but look like you spent a lot of time. When our son and daugh­ter-in-law moved into their first home on Valentine’s Day, I prepared them a nice dinner and gave them a batch of these treats.
