Have a heart.

I'm going to have at least one post a week until the 14th on Valentine-related ideas. I've found some fun new ways to use my heart-shaped cookie cutters. Cookie cutters make great stencils for cut-outs. Set a heart-shaped cookie cutter atop a cupcake and sprinkle colored sugar inside for a lovely design. You can do this on your heart-shaped cookies before you bake them too. Use one to cut out heart-shaped sandwiches for the kids or cut out pie crust hearts to give a decorative flourish to a dessert. Use a tiny cookie cutter to make marshmallows with heart-shaped cutouts to float in hot chocolate.
