Caramel Desserts for V-Day

Mix it up this year with a caramel flavored dessert! Strawberries are so 2023. {Just kidding strawberries + chocolate are forever} Sometimes the simplest desserts are the best, so maybe just a spoonful of my salted caramel sauce on top of the best vanilla bean ice cream!

Red Velvet Desserts

A classic red velvet cake with cream cheese buttercream will always be a win, but try something new this year! If you still want cake, try my red velvet pound cake. It has a loyal cult following!
