The holidays may be over, but the season of celebration continues to roll on in our home. Two of my children have birthdays in February, as well as my mother-in-law and both of my sisters-in-law. My nephew’s birthday lands squarely in the heart of Valentine’s Day (and trust me, he is a sweetheart).

Balsam Hill is best known for their lovely Christmas trees, but there are plenty of reasons to keep them in mind post-holiday season as well, which we’ll be sharing with you soon. In the meantime, here’s a collection of Valentine’s Day recipes to help you prepare for the big day from the Balsam Hill Pinterest board—be sure to follow for more inspired celebrations!

Strawberry and vanilla sprinkle layer cakes, strawberry cream filling, confetti buttercream frosting… What’s not to love about this classic yet whimsical cake?

These little cakes pack a pack a sweeter punch than the tiny hearts you’re used to getting on Valentine’s Day. A perfect way to express your personal words of love!

Conversation Heart Donuts

Similar to the little candy heart cakes we mentioned above, these donuts are simply too cute not to be included in the list. A scrumptious sweet you can make for everyone in your child’s class!

Every kid—and adult, for that matter—loves Rice Krispies. These little treats are sure to be a big hit with anyone lucky enough to receive one on Valentine’s Day!

We may be partial to everything Lyndsay Sung bakes, but it’s hard to deny the cuteness of this mousy little cake. A cutie for your cutie!
