Share the Love – Baked Mini Valentine’s Day Donuts for those you Love

Happy valentine’s day friends!

Whether you plan to share your day with your sweetheart or with friends or even solo, I wish you a love filled day.

I personally don’t buy in to all the cheese of Valentine’s Day.  I know it’s a holiday rooted in history and all that but I don’t buy in to all the expensive gifts just to tell someone you love them.

It’s just who I am, but I do believe in telling those that you care about how you feel.  Rather than expensive flowers and/or dinner out, I decided to show my love with dessert.  I made festive mini doughnuts using a super simple recipe and then decorated them with white, pink and red frosting as well as varying Valentine’s Day sprinkles.

I loved how pretty they turned out so I had to pull out one of my milk glass cake plates.  I found these adorable little heart paper doilies too, perfect for serving them.

I packed a few up in cute little baggies to share with some other important people in my life.  Just a simple way to express my love and appreciation for those most dear to me on this special day.

Finally, I stacked the remaining min donuts on one of my vintage plates and wrapped them up for B to take to the office so that he could “share the love” with his team at work.

I would love to know how you celebrate Valentine’s Day.  Do you do flowers or dinner or find simpler ways to show your love to those in your life?  Leave a comment below.  I’d love to know.
