Valentine's Desserts

Valentine desserts make me happy! By this February holiday, we are all looking for a little love, fresh red berries and decadent chocolate. At TONI it gives us a chance to do some beautiful individual desserts. One of my favorites and of many of our customers is the Rosewater Petit Four. The flavor and the candied rose petal capture the Valentine sentiment.

Last year we started making an individual heart shaped French Silk pastry, perfect for an intimate valentine dessert. It has so many great components and textures. I couldn't wait to bring it back this year. (It is made with White Chocolate mousse, raspberry swirl, a nutella crunchy layer, chambord soaked genoise and a praline wafer) We do a larger version to share with the whole family. Valentines Day what a great winter treat!
