I think Valentine's Day and Halloween are in a dead heat for which holiday celebrates dessert consumption more (and that's fine for me, as a cookie baker!). This year, I baked for celebrations at school and also with friends. There was no real template for these little hearts...just whatever design came to mind. And with only 3 colors to mix, the actual process wasn't as time consuming as I had thought.
Notice the red hearts and pink hearts with white polka dots and white heart borders? That's the "wet on wet" technique, where you put flood icing on top of more wet, flood icing. The end result dries as if applied in one layer, creating a simple, and clean effect. For more information, Bake at 350 has a great explanation and tutorial on her website.
Happy Valentine's Day!
