Looking for something sweet to make for Valentine’s Day? Below are links to a few things I’ve made in the past. Some for Valentine’s Day and some not. But all would be great to give or share with someone you love. The sweets toward the end of this post are from a few years ago, when I first started this blog. Don’t laugh if you read them. I didn’t quite have have the blogging thing down back then. Ok – you can laugh. I did.

  1. those are so cute

  2. So cute and tempting to make. If only I wasn’t sick I would make one of these cuties!

  3. Think your on the right track with a wonderfully positive attitude. Keep up the great work in that regard.
    Wanted to share, I was in my church’s office and our secretary had a cute little ‘cake pop’ someone had made and given to her. I commented on it and she was skeptical about whether she’d like it or not. I assured her they were wonderful and she probably would want to run out and buy your bookbook.
    Again, hang in there and best of luck and lots of prayers for you and your mama.

  4. I love red velvet…my favorite cake!!

  5. Just wondering if you’ve seen the new Starbucks Petites snacks. Which they are calling Cake Pops?

    Just feels like a total corporate rip off. :(

  6. They look very good cakes. I really like a cupcake. I bake very often. Such a beautifully decorated cupcake is not yet seen it. These are good recipes that are made? I usually bake from this book: www. konyv-konyvek. hu/book_images/85a/999638985a.jpg

  7. Oh my goodness! These treats look so good! I came in search of a red velvet cake and here you have so many divine confections! So creative! Thanks for sharing with us! Alex@amoderatelife

  8. Great job on the rose covered cupcakes! There’s so many cupcake shops open now that it’s nice to see something thats different than all of them. These rose covered cupcakes can substitute for real flowers, in fact I would prefer receiving these than actual roses! Keep up the good work you have a lot of talent!

  9. Oh my goodness!!! Your blog always makes me want to bake or eat or both…actually both all of the time.

    I have loved coming to visit your blog often since I have found it and that’s why I wrote a post on my blog today nominating your blog with the “Stylish blog” award.

    Go ahead and claim you award…you deserve it!!!

    And thank you so much for always making me want to go in the kitchen and bake!!!

  10. I just came by your blog for a quick visit and wow !!! All these super cute ideas ! I know we’re starting March, but it just so happens that we have a little get-together, my family and friends, for karaoke and stuff… I did not plan to bake for this little event, but I think I will !!!! Don’t know yet which I’ll choose from your list but I’ll let you know !!! And maybe send you a pic, if it turns out ok !!! K.

  11. ahhh thet all look so good

  12. I think I might have to put the diet on hold….these are all of my favorites!!! Oh man am I droolinggg!!

  13. When are you going to post something new? its been over 10days???

  14. How did you make those vintage cookie pops—love them

  15. OMG everything looks so delightful !

  16. Just looking at that red velvet makes my mouth water! Yummy

  17. You are the valentine’s day treat do you know that?

    I love that you are smiling so brightly in every picture. There is nothing pretentious about you even while posing!

    cheers.

  18. I tried the red velvet cake reciepe and wa really disappointed…. For some reason it came out tasting like flour :( any suggestions?

  19. All of these fabulous ideas in one place? I’m so happy! I just shared your link on my organization site. Thanks so much!

  20. I’m amazed that you have done all of these so beautifully. And this is only one small selection of your accomplishments!

  21. These are all perfectly lovely, Angie! Thanks so much for sharing. I really adore the vintage cookies, but of course they all look amazing. Happy Valentine’s Day! xo

  22. Wow the oreo kisses and red velvet cake balls look so cute and tasteful! I would love to start baking some of the mini-sized sweets since not only are they easier to eat but you would also be taking in smaller amounts of sugar! I’m really glad you have the recipes listed under each one of these amazing creations!

  23. Sweet post! I was looking for sweet Valentine’s Day gift ideas and now I have them.

  24. ohh.. how cute. they are all so lovely. i love those. :D
    i wanna eat one of those cakes right now.. it makes my mouth watering… looks delicious.

  25. I love you.

  26. I’ve tried several different recipes and LOVE your Red Velvet cake recipe. It’s now my go to. It’s just about perfect. Thank you for such a fun round up. Now what to make, what to make?

  27. I think next year I want to try a souffle, but for this year, I’m making a Chocolate Covered Strawberry Cheesecake. Nom nom nom.

  28. I saw a picture of your candy/ truffle box here http://www.etsy.com/listing/65446413/valentines-day-assorted-truffle-box-1?ref=pr_shop
    and just felt I should let you know. I’m not sure this was the best way to go about that, but it was the easiest way I could think of. I just thought it was odd.

  29. So cute and tempting to make. If only I wasn’t sick I would make one of these cuties!

  30. All are tempting!

    I made your cake pops today for a Valentine’s party I am throwing for my two girls this weekend… they turned out great! I wrote a post about them here …

    http://sodomesticated.blogspot.com/2011/02/cake-pops.html

    Have a great weekend!

  31. Bakerella, where do you buy your decorations from? They are so expensive in the UK that i was wanting to stock up when i’m in NYC, so i was wondering if there are any general stores there that i can get them from.

  32. How am I supposed to pick just one? They all look amazing!!!

  33. I have got to try those Oreo Kisses and those Oreo Truffles. YUM!

  34. I’m bookmarking all of these to try!

  35. http://sweettreatcakes.blogspot.com/

    i made the truffles! they turned out SO well.

  36. WOW, WOW, WOW what a feast for someone that just woke up to behold. Is it Christmas again, oh forgot Valentines day. You must have reminded hubby about it, because it is close to 7:00 A.M. and he just kissed me on the cheek as I am writing this and said “Got to go to the store see you soon” I said “where are you going this early” To get you a card for Valentines day or I’m in deep #%@#% isn’t he sweet. Thanks Bakerella for reminding him. Paulette

  37. Your recipes make me so happy! And I love to read the stories behind them. I bought your Super Natural Cooking book a few years ago and it is still one of my

    absolute favorites.

  38. O.K., so many cute ideas! I’m going to have a hard time deciding…but those mini cherry cutie pies are so adorable! And I love the name. =)

  39. It all looks so delicious, I don’t know what to try first! I think I’m going to have to make that red velvet for my fiance for V-Day. It’s one of our favorites and surprisingly I haven’t made it myself yet. Thanks for all the great Valentine’s Day ideas!

  40. Only two word: yum yum

  41. Thanks so much for all the great ideas!! Can’t wait to try some!

  42. Wow!! I can’t decide on what to make!! They all look soo good! Which one tastes the best, that you could devour in one sitting??

  43. Ok…so this question doesn’t necessarily have to do with this whole post, but it does have to do with cake pops/cake balls. I just made my first batch and they came out great, except…the candy coating cracked on 4 so far. Any ideas about what causes that?

  44. i heaven. i can’t decide which i like best. but those darling little pies…..awe.

    i heart valentine’s day. ?

  45. hi! your cake pops are amazing! this is my first time here on this blog!!!! I was wondering what size the lollipop sticks were?
    I was wondering if anysize of the lollipop sticks would hold up the cake balls.

  46. This just reminded me how long I’ve been following your blog. I remember ALL of these recipes and posts. You are a real inspiration!

  47. Oh man, now I need cheesecake! I’m thinking the mini cheesecakes would be good with an oreo or chocolate cookie and then marble cheesecake on top.

  48. I am absolutely in love with the cake ball cake (have been ever since you posted it 2 years ago) and am really wanting to make (and eat) some cheesecake pops!

  49. Every time i see that red velvet cake I start to droooooool… it looks soooooo delicious! And That billion layer cake is to die for. Man, I really want some cake.

  50. I want these all! I think the rose covered cupcakes are my favorite look. But if I had to choose one to eat…probably the giant kisses!!

  51. I like your beautiful art. I like this web. I live in Puerto Rico. Congratulations

  52. My husband’s heart is going to go pitter-patter when I make that red velvet cake for him this weekend! Thanks for all of the Valentine’s ideas!

  53. So funny , I remember reading all the original posts for these ( cept maybe the choc souffle and the mini cheesecakes with cherry…) I was looking down the list and had a serious time warp!! thank you for all the great ideas , and memories of great ideas ,

  54. HELP!!!!! I have a question.. I make those mini pies a lot for fun but mine dont look as nice as yours do. The cherry pie ozzes out like crazy and the tops dont look as nice and put together as yours. My question is how to attach the top to the bottom and still make it look so cute?

  55. I remember nearly all of these posts! I’ve tried quite a few of them to.

    Happy Valentine’s Day to you!! Thank you for sharing your sweet heart! <3

  56. I love the big oreo kiss! My kids and I are going to make it this weekend. I hope it turns out as nice as yours :)

  57. Wow…looking at this I can’t believe how long I’ve been reading your blog! Not sure what I’m making my sweetie this year, but it needs to be easy because I’m toting around a 4 month old now. I think the big cookie looks like the way to go.

  58. I don’t know which one to make first. They’re all too adorable!

  59. You have truly out done yourself with all of these wonderful goodies. I can’t decide what I want to make first. YYYYUUUMMMMMMMM HAPPY VALENTINES! to you

  60. Oh dear…I just put on 5kgs after looking through these fab pictures! …

  61. Plus I used all the ingredients in their proper porportion, except for the liquid coloring and I used just an ounce of that.

  62. In the red velvet cake, if you use liquid coloring, does that mess up the cake? I tried making one and it came out of the oven looking like a dense, bloody, cheesecake!! was there a problem with my oven or what, cause it didn’t even rise an inch!

  63. Delicious!! Just staring at them makes me gain calories!!

  64. What a wonderful post!
    I have aquestion about the red velvet cake – someone (=a generally reliable person, but not a baker herself) told me you can actually get the red color from a chemical reaction between the vineager and some other ingredient in the cake without the use of food coloring but I couldn’t find on the web any support for this clain in the form of a food-coloring-free recipe.
    Do you happen to know anything about it?
    Thanks!

  65. great ideas!! wow they all look great

  66. Oh my! I want them ALL!

  67. I’ve seen a lot of great Valentine’s Day recipes floating around, but yours are definitely the most beautifully decorated!! Everything looks so pretty!

  68. I saw the title of your post on my blog reader and thought, “Why? What’s on the 14th?” Duh, me. Haha. These are wonderful! Thanks!

  69. Wow, 14 layer cake, I wish I had the time to put something like that together. I made your mini pies with apples for a turkey dinner and they were a hit!

  70. My mouth is watering! The Oreo truffles is how I found this blog (now website!) in the first place!!!

  71. OH what a delicious post! I can’t wait to make one of these for my family on Monday. Happy Valentines Day!

  72. They all look delicious….I think I gained 5lbs just reading all of the recipes…..What to make ….decisions decisions.

  73. drooling. I need to stop coming here at night when I crave sweets but don’t have the time to make them! I want to do the mini cherry pies, but hubby hates cherry…maybe the oreo kisses….

  74. It’s like a Valentine’s dessert explosion! (The best kind of explosion, really). I am totally inspired! That red velvet cake needs to be in my belleh posthaste.

  75. I love the the vintage cookie pops and the cupcakes with roses. Now I’m starving!! My kids taught me that the word dessert is spelled with 2 s’ because you always want twice as much dessert! yum…

  76. how weird…
    i thought i went through your whole blog posts
    but i’ve never seen the oreo truffles and the oreo kisses ^^;
    oh how i love oreos! :]

  77. Omigosh…I want to eat ALL of them!! So yummy!

  78. I’m so excited for valentines day. I love all of the sweet confections everyone creates. It makes me so excited.

  79. These are adorable! I actually came onto Bakerella to look for a good idea for our bake sale before valentines day. One of these will be perfect!
    My family LOVES your red velvet cake! I think I’ll be making red velvet cupcakes for the bake sale!
    Jess :D

  87. Holy cow the 14 layer cake is impressive! The mini pies are adorable! But I think my favorite is the box of chocolate cake. Amazing!

  88. You read my mind :) I love your blog bakerella! Not only are your recipes fantastic, but your blog is pretty and makes me want to come back for more. And you don’t have to be ridiculously good at baking to make what you make, you make things so easy for us. I wish other bloggers out there would take a few lessons from you. Hope you have a wonderful <3 day!

  89. Red Velvet cake sounds so good right now. Man, I hate grocery shopping on an empty stomach. You know I will come home with red velvet cake mix!

  90. I love how you can show your early work it gives hope to the rest of us, although really it is very good. I have always adored those vintage cookies. Yum would be happy to receive any of these treats as my valentine gift.

  91. 14 layers!! I saw that when you first posted and then couldn’t find it anymore. I would love to make it but probably won’t. Maybe someone will make it for me. Probably not any more delicious than other cakes but so impressive, don’t you think!

  92. Thank you for taking the guess work out of what to make for my Valentine’s day party. :D

  93. Ahhh I love you! Thanks, these look so great!

  94. Ok, way too many recipes I want to try! They all look out of this world, especially the cakes!

  109. Mmmmmm… All I want for V-day is that red velvet cake for myself! :D
