A great idea for those sugar cookies is to stick them together with some strawberry jam and turn them into some fantastic homemade linzer cookies. Also try baking up some red velvet cupcakes and dusting them with icing sugar around a heart-shaped stencil. Don't have time for baking this year? Conversation hearts are an eternal favourite.
