•Use red and pink food dye to color frostings, marshmallows, etc. <\/p>\n

•Make heart-shaped ice cubes for punch bowls or glasses. You can also float edible flowers in punch bowls or freeze them in ice cubes. <\/p>\n

•Get heart, cupid, rose, or arrow shaped cookie cutters and cut sandwiches, toast, Jello, eggs, cookies, or anything else into Valentine’s day shapes. <\/p>\n
