    If I had to pick a favorite...I'd vote heart-shaped cinnamon rolls for how cute they look, and the red velevet cupcakes for how delicious I'm sure they are. Thanks for sharing, with such stunning photography! I made beet cupcakes of Valentine's Day: http://the-tasty-truth.com/2012/02/14/a-love-story-and-chocolate-beet-cupcakes/

    So many of these look like such amazing recipes. I am such a sucker for pictures of delicious looking food; it makes me want to start baking immediately. I think the heart shaped cinnamon rolls and the red velvet cupcake look the most delightful. I do make egg in the basket all the time though, so I look forward to making this Valentine's version for my special someone next year. I had never thought of using different shaped for the cutout. Have you tried making all of these? Which is/are your favorite?

    They all look so lovely and beautiful. The red velvet cake looks the best, but perhaps its the black background that is making it all so elegant.

    This is a great idea not just for Valentines day but also great for Sunday family gathering. Just in case we all forget,sugar rush ladies and gents make sure there is always something to neutralize it later on.
