Valentine’s Day has always been about small gestures for me. It’s not about the pressure of grand declarations or following strict rules; it’s about having something delicious on the table that you can share slowly and enjoy in the moment. This year, my kitchen is dedicated to treats that feel playful, comforting, and full of love in every form.
The Nostalgic Centerpiece: Vintage Heart Cake
If you want your celebration to look as gorgeous as it tastes, our vintage-style heart cake is the answer. I’ve designed these to be a bit of a throwback, featuring multiple tiers of light, airy sponge that feel like a celebratory hug. The best part? They are completely customizable. You can choose the flavours and colours that represent your unique story, or you can even email me at hello@livsbakedgoodies.com to create something bespoke that feels entirely yours. Whether you are gifting it or making it the star of your own "treat yourself" night, it’s pure nostalgia in cake form.
The Ultimate Companion: The Valentine’s XL Cookie
For those moments when you need something big, indulgent, and full of personality, we have the XL Cookie. This isn't just a snack; it’s a mood. Whether you’re hosting a “Single Ladies” dance party or having a quiet “My Funny Valentine” evening, this cookie is designed to be your best friend. It features a tender, doughy heart and perfectly toasted edges, making it ideal for tearing apart to share—or keeping every single bite for yourself. After all, you are your own Valentine!
Unexpected Loves and Flavour Bombs
If you’re in the mood for something that breaks the traditional mold, my kitchen is always experimenting with what I like to call "messy delights".
The Flavour Bomb: Our Croissant, Miso & Bantu Chocolate Cookies are for the adventurous. They offer a wild mix of salty umami miso, buttery croissant flakes, and rich chocolate that is completely unexpected.
The Fusion: Our Baklava Brownies bring together a sweet and salty profile that is a total game-changer for brownie lovers.
The Classic Red Velvet: For a festive touch, our Red Velvet Cookie Sandies feature fudgy red velvet paired with a smooth cream cheese frosting and a hidden centre of homemade chocolate.
