Favorite Valentines Desserts

 Are you ready for Valentine's Day?

My kids sure are.  I think it's mostly because their aunts are coming the next day for a visit but they do love to celebrate Valentine's Day.  It's a great reason to say "I love you" in so many ways.

We love to celebrate with a special dessert among other things and here are some of our favorites for the special day,

 Chocolate Molten Lava Cakes--can you say absolutely delicious.

 No Bake Oreo Cheesecakes--super simple and easy and the kids are bound to love them.

 Cream Puffs--oh my mouth is watering just thinking about them.

 Flourless Chocolate Cake--this bad boy is what we have chosen for the big day.

 Lemon Tarts--these beauties are fast and easy to make but they are absolutely to die for.  These are a huge favorite at our house (the kids fight over the leftovers!).

 Red Velvet Cupcakes and Red Velvet Whoopie Pies.  You can never go wrong with some red velvet.  Yummy and delicious. I hope you enjoy your special day!
