Cushy Loves edible "Love Hearts"

It dosen't have to be Valentines day to bake hand made Love Heart Cookies. So much fun decorating and eating them or giving them as Gifts to Loved ones.
Traditionally the Heart has long been used as symbol to refer to the spiritual, emotional and in the past also intellectual core of a human being. As the Heart was once widely believed to be the the ruler of your soul, the word Heart continues to be used poetically and stylized depictions of Hearts are extremely prevalent symbols representing "True Love".
A simple Love Heart ice cube in a cup of Strawberry Milk Shake looks so sweet. Or the most stylish bar of Chocolate with a cut out Love Heart can make the most amorous of gifts. Alternatively "the big deal", a multi tiered Frosted Sugary Pink Love Heart Cake ....... !
One of our favourites, a gorgeous Embellished Chocolate Heart
encased in a Corseted Ribboned Box form Hotel Chocolat

A delicious box of Cookies filled with a Raspberry Love Heart Jam center, a freshly baked Love Heart Cake with tossed Raspberries and dripped with a Raspberry Coulis or a Cake dressed in Love birds, Love Hearts and a White Chocolate Camelia!

Having a Lovely day with "Love Heart" Treats!
