Bakeshop List
Is butter your valentine's love language? Woo them with croissant dough hearts, which are available adorned with maple glaze and edible gold, studded with pearl sugar and amarena cherries, or laden with caramelized apples. If that doesn't do the trick, there's also a chocolate vanilla marble cake, heart-shaped raspberry hand pies, burnt Basque cheesecake, and a peanut butter pie topped with toothsome honeycomb. All can be picked up from the bakery on February 14.
