With the winter days slowly getting longer, Valentine’s Day is also approaching us. Now, having a partner or not, this holiday is definitely something that should be celebrated with the people you love. What better way to spend it than munching on some delicious food?
I’m sure you have walked into many stores and have already seen generic boxed chocolates countless times. Sure, those taste great, but why not make things a little more fun and do something different?
Gifting food is never a bad idea, and that lucky person would most definitely appreciate it. Let’s take a look at some delicious ideas.
Breakable hearts
Breakable chocolate hearts are a great way to put a spin on gifting chocolate. This fun and interactive gift calls for smashing the heart into small, sharable pieces with a collection of goodies inside to enjoy as well. It’s a win-win situation! It’s also customizable with different colours, toppings and contents inside. Break My Cake is a local business in Toronto where they make these yummy creations, offering both delivery and pick up at their location on Queen St. West & Lisgar Street.
Minimalistic cake
You know what they say – less is always more! These cute and simple cakes boast a minimal design while also being aesthetically pleasing. Have it say any message you’d like, from the traditional “Happy Valentine’s Day” to a personal inside joke. You can customize it to their liking, making this a unique, one-of-a-kind gift. @whipped_to on Instagram does an amazing job at creating these cakes. They have an endless number of pictures of all the work they have done so far. The best part? They’re a small business located in the city– so you’ll be supporting a local business while also putting a smile on people’s faces.
Heart-shaped pizza
Not everyone has a sweet tooth. For the savoury treat lovers out there, how about a pizza? But this is not just any pizza; it’s a heart-shaped pizza! Load it up with all of your boo’s favourite toppings, and bon appetit! This can be bought at a pizza store nearby like Pizza Pizza or Papa John’s, or you could take to your kitchen to try it out yourself. Take a look at this recipe by Food Network. Again, choose any toppings and cater them to your special someone’s taste!
