I made mini and many cake pops for you this past weekend. I had this idea I wanted to try just using basic round pops and color to make a sweet little display. So I set out to dip enough cake pops to get the job done. That turned out to be 350 plus. Yikes. Not quite sure what I was thinking … Around number 70, I was really starting to reconsider. I thought … oh my gosh I have to make five times that many. But when I start something I can’t let it go until I get to the end and see how it works out. I know this project doesn’t help you much for this year, but I thought the heart display could totally work for a lot of other things besides Valentine’s Day.
So keep reading below for the how to… or check out my big “mini” giveaway at the end of this post. It’s a mini way for me to say Happy Valentine’s Day!
Okay, here we go.
You can’t tell in the picture, but these cake pops are tiny. Like Cake Dots instead of pops. So tiny that you use a toothpick to dip them with instead of a lollipop stick. Yes a toothpick. The cake balls are actually about the size of a penny. But they are small for a reason.
- Regular size cake pops would take up a lot of table real estate.
- The lollipop sticks would be much taller and people would have a harder time viewing the design from above.
- I figured the proportions out so they would work on a pretty standard size piece of styrofoam to make it easier to recreate and transport.
- I only had to make one cake. Score.
- Mini is major cute.
I based the display design off of a template (see below) I made so that it works with a 12X18 inch or 12X20 inch sheet of styrofoam you can find in craft stores. Then I worked backwards to figure out how many cake pops you’d need to make the the shape look right. Once I had that, I knew how big to make the cake pops. Or how little.
- Crumble cake and mix with frosting
- Roll into tiny cake balls. (basic cake pop instructions here) You can use the circles on the downloadable template as a guide for the right size. They should be slightly smaller than the circle so that when you add the coating they will still fit together nicely.
- Keep rolling and rolling until you have enough
- Dip a toothpick into melted coating and then insert into a chilled cake ball.
- Dip entire cake pop into the coating and then sprinkle with non-pareils. They are tiny and will be the best size for these tiny treats.
- Place in styrofoam to dry.
A couple of things to note.
- Use a small plastic bowl to melt the coating. You can work with a smaller amount of coating when dipping. Just melt the coating in batches as you go. Then you can take breaks and watch the Walking Dead marathon on AMC in between.
- Buy more than one sheet of styrofoam. You’ll need more room than the display size so they aren’t touching each other as they dry.
- Invite a friend over to help you. It will go faster and maybe your neck won’t hurt like mine does right now from looking down and dipping for so long.
- I’d try Mercken’s candy coating for this project. It melts nice and fluid – you don’t want thick coating on these. It will add too much volume.
- I’ve probably discouraged you already. Kind of like I felt as I was starting making these. But I had a feeling they’d be cute when I finished so I went on… like I’m going to do now. And by the way, these completely make me giddy when I see them finished on the table (looking at them now), so I guess it was worth it. And it will definitely be worth it if one of you decides to try it out some day. Hope you do… with a friend.
Use multi-color non-pareils for the second candy coating color. Minus the static.
Super cute.
When all the pops are done, prepare your display.
- Wrap a 12X18 inch or 12X20 inch sheet of styrofoam with paper. I used the 19X25 inch single sheets you purchase at the craft store. You could also use wrapping paper though.
- Packing tape worked best on the styrofoam to tape the paper down.
- Print out the template provided centered on an 11X17 sheet of paper at somewhere like Kinko’s. The design is created for a 12X18 surface area but it is set up on 11X17 paper since that is a standard size to print. You’ll notice that some of the circles on the template are getting cropped off when they print, but that’s okay, you’ll have enough information to figure out where the pops on the perimeter should go. I hope that makes sense.
- Tape the template down temporarily and use a safety pin to poke holes into the paper.
- Remove the template and start arranging the cake pops using the template as a guide. Start in the middle and work your way out from the center. More than likely some of your pops will be bigger than you think and if you start at one end, left to right, they will start to tilt too much to make room as you place them in position. But if you start in the center, they will angle out equally all the way around. Again I hope that makes sense.
Full of heart.
But you can also rearrange them for a different look …
And spread a little love…
… Or some sweet hugs and kisses.
Here are the 11X17 inch templates for each.
And because I love you guys and all things mini, here’s a little giveaway for you.

My husband, Marc and my 7 month old Jackson are my valentines! Marc and I stayed up last night dipping mini pretzels in chocolate and sprinkles for Jackson’s teachers today! I was teaching Marc all of your dipping techniques and he was both frustrated at my type-A way of doing something fun and impressed by the results! hahah.
So cute! I admire your patience. No big plans for tonight, just hanging out at home with my family. Thanks!
My sweet family and I will be spending the evening together. :)
Still looking for my Valentine! You’re so creative–I love these ideas but not sure I would have the patience! Keep the inspiration coming!
My Valentine is Raliegh, my handsome, rugged husband. We are going to see the movie Warm Blood and leaving our 4 month old with a friend. ( :
Happy ?’s, XO’s, and yummy sweets day!!
Happy Valentines day to you.!!
I love your creativity. You must have the patience of a saint. your cake pops always make me smile.
My Valentine (hubby) and I are going to a symphony concert downtown to celebrate tonight. Dessert and a glass of wine afterwards!
My Valentine is my sweet husband. We aren’t doing anything as he is tired after working 6 long days a week, works so hard to support our family. The important thing is we will be home together! Just made your cake pops for all the people he works with, mostly guys. They never last long…
My husband is my Valentine. We are going to our favorite Italian restaurant for lunch today.
Happy Valentines. I admire your perseverance….I would have called it a day at maybe 50 mini pops! Got up early and made french toast and bacon for my hubby and son with all their Valentines treats….Hoping to go see the movie Amour tonight with my love!
My Big Guy- husband- is my valentine, but so is my father-in-law, brother-in-law and my neighbors and their grandchildren so I have lots! We get good take-out and eat at home on V-day! No crowds and no cooking!
The hubby is my main Valentine but the kiddos count too! Going to make a supper full of all of the food they LOVE! Thanks for the great giveaway!
I made panda cake pops for my valentine, my boyfriend of 2 years. They are so cute, and he loves them!
My Hunny and 4 kids make individual pizza’s every year for valentines day. Love this idea I might try some with my 4 year old today.
Oh my goodness. This truly is a display that’s full of love! You’re so creative and this is really beautiful. My valentine is my hubby and kids. To celebrate V-day, I’m preparing a special dinner for us, lamp chops, veggies, scallops, and mini heart shaped layered chocolate cakes. Thank you for hosting such a lovely giveaway. :) I love all things mini.

My valentine, my hubby, is going to cook us dinner tonight, then we’ll just relax!
Since I am currently single my valentine is my dog Chester!
My Valentines are my husband and 4 year old twin boys! I am hoping to get out of work early to attend my boys school party then off to swim lessons and dinner with all my boys.
My Valentine is my boyfriend Adrian. I wish we could be together, but we are in a long distance relationship. He sent me flowers to my work and 2 boxes of chocolate. I wish we could be together today, that would just be amazing!
I don’t think I’ll have the courage or patience to make these, but I’d be more than willing to eat them :D. Thank you for sharing.
Happy Valentine’s Day! My Valentines are my husband and beautiful 4 year old daughter. We’re going to buy some fish for our new fish tank and have a nice evening together!
This idea is fantastic, I love it!

Happy Valentine’s Day! <3
I have 4 valentines my husband, 2 daughters and a son. we are going to have homemade pizza for dinner and then a chocolate chip cookie bowl with ice cream for dessert.
Such a cute idea! My valentines are my hubby of 20 years and our three girls. We will be having pizza and hanging out together tonight. Such a treat as I usually work on Thursday nights.
I’ll be spending Valentine’s day with my husband of 18 years and my 3 beautiful kids. We have to go to our son’s basketball game!
Happy Valentine’s Day – my day of fun includes work, picking up children from school (in a sugar coma, I’m sure) and going home to bake a super delicious chocolate something….trying to decide between chocolate creme brulee, or a chocolate pudding cake…..
I will be spending the evening with my furbabies and my Hubby…..maybe a nice walk and then a late dinner. Love the mini pops!
I plan on spending the evening curled up on the couch with my hubby and puppy watching a movie. Well, that is if I can get the puppy to LET me watch the movie!
My valentine is my hubby (and our little daughter!) and since he has to work tonight we are planning a special Valentine’s lunch date at the local high school. They are having a walking taco fundraiser to raise enough money to buy a VGO (that cool robot in the Verizon commercial) for a student – our favorite babysitter – who is severely ill with Very Severe Aplastic Anemia and won’t be able to attend until at least after next Christmas.
My valentine is my partner of 28 years. We’ll spend the day together – just about to go have lunch.
My hubby and my doggie are my valentines! We’re going to spend the night being bums at home.
My valentine is my boyfriend of almost 6 years and we are deferring any celebrations until tomorrow after I get off work since I don’t finish work until 8:30pm tonight. And it gives me more time to finish his gift: dress sock roses with slim jim stems ! :)
I hope you enjoy your Valentine’s day!
My valentine is my husband and our big plans involve going to bed early to get over our colds. Your mini pops are amazing!
Oh they look lovely! Happy valentines day.
Love it! Wish I had time to do this! Maybe next Valentine’s….My daughter will be my Valentine’s tonite…gonna attend her sweetherart dance at her school.
I will be getting all dressed up to make a nice homemade meal for my fiance!
I have 3 Valentines (4 if you count the dog!)…my hubby, DS 7, & DD 4. Hubby & I are going to our favourite small town theatre for a movie and the kids get to hang out with Grammy! Love these minis, the presentation is awesome!
I don’t have a valentine this year but that is okay! I plan on hanging out with my family and enjoying time with them!
We’re going out to dinner at a nice restaurant in our town. We usually don’t get out due to our tight budget, but we were gifted a gift card for the restaurant at Christmas, and I’m so glad we saved it! :)
My hubby and are meeting my sister out for burgers and beers!
my husband said he’d be my valentine…and my daughters have to be my valentines every year. :D
Hi Bakerella! My valentine’s are my husband and daughter and we plan on hanging out at home tonight!
My valentine is my wonderful wife of 2 years. Love her to pieces!
My Husband is my valentine. He stole my heart years ago. We are going to the school talent show tonight with my four kiddos.
My Valentine is my daughter – she’s the best!
My valentine is my husband and best friend. We plan on spending our evening at home enjoying a nice dinner.
My husband is my valentine and we are going to celebrate by getting take-out (no babysitter) and a Red Box movie.
I’ll be spending V-Day with my husband, son and newest addition, our baby girl! It will be a sweet day, indeed.
My Valentine is my son! He is 2 and he is so thoughtful and caring. He can sense when things are off with Mommy and he always says “are you ok Mommy” He just melts my heart.
My valentines are my three lovely daughters with whom I plan to take on a valentines dinner date… Happy Valentines Day!
Going shopping!!!
I’m spending this Valentines day with my husband and our 19 month old little boy- we’re expecting a baby girl any day, so it will be our last holiday as a family of 3!
My Valentine’s name is RAUL, my husband of almost 6 years. Since he is working and we have a new baby (1 month old) it looks like our plans are not going to be too exciting; just some homemade pizza and a little GLEE, although I am currently getting my hair done by 2 1/2 yr old, so it may end up being a wild night after all….hahaha
These cake pops are too freakin’ awesome! Gridding them like this opens up so many possibilities – cross-stitch patterns, Fair Isle knitting patterns…
My husband and I will be spending the night, without kids(!) at home. I’ve planned a yummy dinner, and heart-shaped cinnamon rolls for dessert.
My boyfriend! Movie, food and cuddling!
As an amateur baking fanatic, I LOVE your blog and cookbooks. This idea would be perfect if I had more time – but alas, I’m studying for a bar exam and working, too. Maybe next year I can pull up this blog post on my iPad mini… :) Thanks for a great giveaway and all your great posts!
You are a remarkable woman to do all of that, and come up up with three different arrangements!
My valentine is my husband. He has been fighting the flu bug all week long so candy is not really an option. Following the mini theme, this morning I made a glaze of milk and sugar and dipped cheerios fir in the glaze and then in red, pink and white non-pareils for mini donuts. I had seen the idea on pinterest and sprinkle donuts are his favorite. I made just enough of them to shape into a heart and presented them to him this morning with his tea. Just enough sugar to enjoy without over irritating a sore throat.
Thanks for the giveaway, your generous spirit is a gift all it’s own.
For the last 17 years, my Valentine has been my daughter. I’m a single Mom and I’ve always made her a special breakfast, left special little gifts and treats for her, and we’ve gone out to dinner or made something yummy. This year, I created a work of art for her and baked a giant heart shaped chocolate chip cookie. She forgot some stuff, so when I stopped by the school, I made sure to fill her shoes and coat pocket with little goodies. This year though, she’ll actually be someone else’s valentine as she has a date tonight. Oh the growing pains when they spread their wings.
No plans for V-day.
My valentines is my wife and 2 year old daughter. I plan on spending the evening with those two.
My Valentine is my amazing husband. We work together, so we were able to squeeze in a lunch date. Tonight, we’ll have a date-night with our 4 year old son…dinosaur-shaped chicken nuggets, red velvet cake, and cartoons. xoxo
My valentine is my hubby. We don’t typically do anything for Valentines day, but sit at home with fastfood and enjoy each other’s company. However, just like last year, I’m making your chocolate cake with homemade frosting and chocolate ganache! Cakes are already made, just waiting for them to cool!
My husband and I went to dinner on the 13th to avoid the jam packed restaurants on the 14th. Very cute display! This would be a fun way to show a pixelated picture – I’m thinking of a Super Mario birthday party that may be in my near future for my son. An 8-bit cake pop Mario would be amazing! Happy Valentine’s Day!
My valentines are my grown daughters, and godchildren, but since everyone is out of town during the week, we will celebrate some other time!
My Valentine is my sweet two and a half year old son. Our plans for today are to go out to lunch with his Papa. Even though his father and I aren’t together anymore, he is still a good friend and loves his son very much. I would LOVE to get that IPad Mini! I could put all kinds of games on there to play with my son or on my own. And so many other stuff to do on it!
My Valentines are my hubby and two beagles! :)
My valentines is my Pennsylvanian county boy who always has a positive attitude and brings a smile to my face.
My sweeties are my hubby and son. Nothing makes me happier than the two of them.
My Valentine’s are my husband and 18 month old little guy. We are making heart shaped pizza with heart shaped pepperoni.
Hope you enjoy your Valentine’s Day!
Hi, I have too many valentines!
My valentine is my fiance. I’ll be getting flowers on Valentine’s Day but he’s going to cook me dinner on Saturday :) Thanks for sharing your mini cake pops, I might need to make them over the weekend!
My husband is my valentine. We might go out to one of my favorite restaurants, but if not, we should be going next month for my birthday.
I plan to spend this evening withy kids and spouse watching Charlie Brown Valentine. It doesn’t get any better than that.
My Valentine is my husband- for 11 years now! I can’t really believe he still makes my heart flutter, but he does. Love him and miss him today, as he is traveling for work.
I don’t have any specific plan for Valentine’s Day. I’ll enjoy a good dinner with a friend.
Congratulations on those 350+ cake pops!!!
My wonderful valentines are my husband and son and daughter. We all stay home and have a nice supper and enjoy the evening together. This one will be better since there is no school tomorrow so we can don’t have to rush bedtime!

My Valentine is a new guy I’m seeing :) We’re going to try a new ramen house I’ve been dying to go to.

My husband cared for me through many long years of being bedridden. He fixed the meals did the wash cleaned the house & raised my 3 older children (that he adopted) & our son. Plus hand feed me, always incouraging me to eat when the pain was so bad I felt I couldnt eat. He did that with all the love In his heart. He was able to arrange for the surgeries that have aided In getting walking & living again with never one complaint! He has showed me such great love that any women could ever hope for! This Valentines Day with all my Love will be spent with our grandchildren who we are now raising together. Love is something he has taught me endures all things<3 He is my love my companion & my Life. Because of an infection hes lost all his teeth but one people see him as half the man he was. I dont see him that way. I see him with all the love In my heart. I wish so much for Valentines I could get him new teeth as hes now the one struggling to eat. But my medical bills pervent that. Love is all I can give him! With all my heart my love is his<3
My valentines are my two pups, my husband, and my almost 11 month old baby boy. We are going to cook a delicious supper and relax at home.

Thanks for the chance to win and for all the wonderful baking inspiration.

Always love spending v-day with my family:)
Valentine?
Valentines!
My husband, my kids, my extended family, friends, kids’ friends, random strangers…
Um, I kinda like this holiday. A lot.
So, I’m celebrating with the hubs and kids, but there will be Valentine’s Day sentiments spread far and wide.
My Valentine is my sweet 4 year old, Adam. He also promised he would ALWAYS be my valentine! <3 I made cookies for my daughters class party, but he requested a vegetable plate =)
My valentine is my sweet hubby who left me a godiva chocolates and a macaron cookbook this morning. He heads off to work each morning before the rest of the house is awake.
My Valentine is my hubby and my litlte 3yr old guy. Hubby and I get together with a bunch of other couples on Thursday nights and we’ll do that on the 14th as well. Little man will be with grandparents to enjoy.
I’ll be speding Valentines Day with my little boy because my husband is in Afghanistan!
Still looking for a valentine… I’ll be home with my daughter making cake pops tonight! Happy Valentines Day! <3
My husband is my valentine. He’s loved me through thick, thin and crazy.

My hubby and kids!
My Valentine is my Beautiful Bride! We are going to a romantic comedy production here in Fresno, CA starring myself in it. Then a nice dinner afterwards. Happy V-day!
If I predict correctly, my Valentine’s will be my girls and I’ll take them to have a yummy dinner at Panera Bread. If things were supposed to go the way a normal Valentine’s Day should, then the other half would show up with flowers, a card, a gift and we’d go to dinner. But that’s just wishful thinking. Anywho, Happy V Day Bakerella!
My Valentines are my husband and son. <3
Happy Valentine’s Day! My Valentine is my Mom. She is battling Triple Negative Breast cancer and she is terminal. She is my best friend and I give all my love to her on this day. Peace to you all.

My husband is my Valentine! This year we’re just going to hang out and have a nice evening at home!
Sadly I don’t have a Valentine, and today I would really just like to feel healthy.
My valentine is my husband..this is our first Valentines day by ourselves (our youngest finally fled the nest) and we are spending the evening with a nice dinner and tv/movies here at home with our fur girls (our 2 dogs) LOL
You never cease to amaze me! No special plans, just a nice night with the family. My true loves!
My valentine is my wonderful partner, Michael. We’re celebrating by staying in, eating leftovers (so nobody has to cook) and watching tv shows.
My valentine is my kiddo! Age 5, all smiles. We’ve got a hot date with an icecream cake and a DVD of Lady and the Tramp.
These look AMAZING! Thank you so much for the templates! :-) I made other sweets for my work this year, but I think next year I will be making these!
My Valentine is my wonderful Husband. We had to celebrate on Tuesday because he was working tonight, but we had a wonderful time!
My valentine is my husband and while we don’t have special plans today (we both have to work), we took tomorrow off to play hooky and spend some time together.
Landon and I will enjoy our first engaged-couple valentines together at home. I bought him some of those Sherri’s Berries, so I’ll probably figure out something to cook and we’ll have some berries for dessert. And it’ll be pretty awesome.
Click on my website to read our engagement story and the subsequent overwhelmingness of our wedding planning. Eeep!
Today I’m spending the day with my amazing boyfriend Gardiner. He woke me up to flowers and chocolate and we are going out to dinner this weekend.
Those are adorable. *stopping by to say ‘hi’*
You never cease to amaze me! No special plans, just a nice night with the family. My true loves!
My Valentines are my wonderful husband and two beautiful children! We will spend the evening at home preparing for my daughter’s birthday bash this Saturday. :)
HI!!!! I am a student and had a big project due today on Valentine’s Day :( so I didn’t get a chance to make anything fun. But I am going to make something this weekend even if its late. :) Happy Valentine’s Day to all!!!
Happy Valentines Day! My valentine is my husband! We don’t have any specific plans to celebrate, but he did surprise me with roses this morning when I woke up :-)
My valentines are my fabulous Hubbs and my new kitty Lewis. They are both amazing. I am going inline skating with my hubbs tonight, as he is not into Valentines Day, he thinks it should be an every day occurance!! Love that!!
No plans. My husband and I will be working all day and won’t see each other. :(
Happy Valentine’s DAY! :)
Dinner and trivia night.
Yummmmmm. Can’t wait to make these. Will make a great flag for the 4th too!!!! Happy Valentines Day Everyone
So cute!!
My Valentine is my cat, Noelle. My plans for tonight = music dress rehearsal!
My husband! We will celebrate this weekend since I have class tonight.
These are cute! My wonderful husband is my Valentine. We cuddled in the bed with our kids and now we are making your Mini Maple Chocolate Chip Pancake Muffins. Special days need special breakfasts!
My Valentines are my amazing husband and my 3 crazy sweet funny daughters! Celebrating by going to a dr’s appt., taking one kid to play rehearsal, and the other 2 to dance classes-maybe a walk with the husband somewhere in there…and I wouldn’t want it any other way! My greatest joy is being a wife and mama :)
My Valentine is my husband of 7 years. He pursued me for ten years before I gave in, you never know what life has in store for you! I’m the happiest girl in the world and we don’t celebrate V-day because I feel it’s not romantic to be told when to be romantic, ya know?
I’m coaching tonight and then probably spending quality time on the couch with my husband. Not exactly a night of high romance, is it? =]
My Valentine this year is my husband. We have been married almost 5 years now, but he makes every day special. He brings me flowers for no reason (I swear, it’s not just when he’s in trouble, lol). It’s the little things, asking how my day was, and listening to me complain when needed.
Only thing is, he tends to forget Valentine’s Day ( I know, right?!?!?!) But he sure makes up for it the rest of the year!!!
My Valentine is my husband, Tommy, and my son, Cameron. Hubby doesn’t have to work today, but I do. He said he was making me a wonderful dinner and we will probably stay in.
My valentine is my husband…who for the past 23 years writes me a Valentine on my bathroom mirror in toothpaste so it is the first thing I see!
Hi! I <3 your blog! My valentine is my husband and our plans tonight are to drop the kids off at grams and go out to dinner. I know it sounds very simple but we rarely ever get a night away from the kids!
My best friends are my valentines this year and every other one. Guys have come and gone, and while they were wonderful romantic valentines, I am most grateful for the everlasting love of a friend :)
Happy Valentine’s Day! My valentine is Chris and tonight we are making pizza and Caesar salad. Yum. Tomorrow is our 2-year old’s 2nd birthday, so after the kids all go to bed, I’ll be cleaning and prepping cupcakes, Elmo cookies and dips for her party this weekend. Exquisite display of cake pops!!
Those are adorable! Your work is always such an inspiration! We don’t really celebrate vday… Love is an everyday thing. :)
My husband is my Valentine, though my cats are close runners-up. I think he has a gift for me at home tonight.
thank you for this giveaway!! my valentine is my adorable nephew, Cooper. :) xo!
You are the queen of patience, lol! Happy valentines Day Bakerella. My valentines are my wonderful husband and two sweet sons!! We are staying in and having pizza.
My hubby is my valentine… he is the best
My valentine is my husband. :) We will be spending the evening cooking dinner together and hopefully eating a lot of chocolate! :)
Going to a Sigur Rós concert with a dear friend of mine (he’s like a brother, really)!
xoxo
WHOA! What a project!
My Valentines are my husband, and my 8 month old son. We are doing it up big, we’re having frozen pizza for dinner tonight. ;) I don’t mind, after all, my husband did propose over pizza!
I’m going to celebrate with a play date with my husband and 1 year old daughter at the play gym and then a nice homemade dinner. Love the mini pops!
Spending tonight with the whole family, tomorrow special dinner with hubby and friends, we’re dressing up in ballgowns and tiaras =) Cake pops for dessert!
I made the kiddos cards this morning but they know they won’t get their candy treat until tomorrow when it goes on sale! :)
my valentine is my dog jax…but i am going to a play tonight with a friend!
Hi!
No special plans, just a typical evening with the hubby
I’m celebrating Valentine’s Day by eating chocolate for the first time in over a year!
I will be spending the day with my husband of 42 years and going out to eat.
My valentine is my husband. We’ll be celebrating with our three cute boys with heart shaped pasta tonight. Can’t wait :)
My husband is my Valentine, and he is simply the best. We’re staying home this evening. PS – I LOVE these designs! I don’t think I’d have the patience (or skill) to make this, but it is beautiful!
I am going to maybe go to the mall and treat myself to something like a bag or a new lipstick!
Hey there!! My valentine is my amazing boyfriend Stew!! We will be spending the evening eating the Sweetheart cake I saw on your website!! I would love to send you pictures of my creation of your beautiful cake!! Happy Valentine’s Day!! <3 <3
For Valentines day I will be downtown Toronto operating a shadow puppet and eating many chocolates.
I’m a lucky lady! I have 3 Valentine’s today. My hubby and my two boys! We went to dinner the other night to keep away from the crowds of today and then I’m making a special dinner tonight!! :-D
My husband is my valentine. 20 years ago we got engaged the day after Valentines Day. We go out for a nice dinner and of course a box of chocolates is always a great gift from him. I like celebrating with our children too.
Hi, Bakerella!
Today, I plan to bake a ton of sweets for my amazing boyfriend!
He is my Valentine. :D
Have a great Valentine’s Day!
My sweet husband! Staying in with our girls.
We honestly treat it like any other day, with a little more candy consumed :-) Love you family as if EVERY day was Valentine’s Day.
PS-L.O.V.E. the mini’s :-)
This Valentines day I had a quite night in watching Doctor Who with my wonderful partner of nearly 8 years and our sweet little 15 week old chocolate lab puppy.
Hi!
My valentine is my high school sweet heart, been together 6 amazing years, and have gone to the same small little restuarant every year for the past 6 years for valentines and our anniversary! He is always looking at your site, begging me to try and re create what youve done. although it never looks as amazing as yours do i love being able to spend time with him in the kitchen!
Happy Valentines! :)
I spend valentines day at university… But when I’m done with all my exams I’m gonna find me a Valentin for next year ;-)
Anyway valentines day is not that big a deal in germany like it is in the U.S.

My sweet husband is my valentine. We will spend the evening at home with our two girls.
My valentine is me, myself and I… No valentine plans apart from work today
What a cute idea! My Valentine is my husband. We are having a “special” Valentine’s dinner tonight at home – he’s on a special diet right now so we’ve had to get creative. Then I’m surprising him with some of your peanut butter truffles!
Happy Valentines Day! I will be working all day then spending the evening with my adorable dog Kaleigh – We’ll probably share some french fries from Five Guys!
Hey there!! My valentine is my amazing boyfriend Stew! We will be spending the evening eating the Sweetheart cake I saw on your website!! I would love to send you pictures of my creation of your beautiful cake!!
My Valentines are my Husband and my 4.5 year old son. We are just hanging out at home this evening, making taco’s for dinner and cupcakes for dessert.
LOVE the minis and all three designs! Sounds like a project I would take on, too. :) The hubby and I have plans to celebrate Valentine’s Day on Saturday night at the Frank Sinatra table in the kitchen of a local restaurant that’s gotten national attention. I can’t wait! For tonight, I’m just dipping milk chocolate covered strawberries with my favorite Guittard chocolate. Oh, and I already made and handed out my Valentine’s cake pops, of course. :)
You so ROCK! I cannot believe the work you put into this!!!!! I am so inspired! Thank you for being you girl!!! :)
My husband is out of town and I will be working…so am taking goodies in to work so my fellow nurses will all “be mine” tonight!! ha ha…goodies are ALWAYS appreciated at work

Wow, how cute and creative. You are most definitely the cakepop queen. I’m not sure I have it in me to roll that many. I am even skeptical about the 2 dz regular size I have to do for my daughter’s birthday party this weekend. Amazing!!! Anyway, I my Valentine is my wonderful hubby, and we are just planning to stay home and finish the plans for my daughter’s birthday party and watch some movies together!!!
Happy Valentine’s Day! My Valentine is my fiance David and we will spend it working and going to school!
My valentine is my husband and best friend of 37 years. I am making him a special dinner at home tonight because he isn’t feeling well today.
