Delightful Desserts for Two

What could be a more perfect ending to a romantic meal than a beautiful mini cake for two? The following creations may look too good to eat, but that’s what makes them so special. The cakes are just big enough for you and your sweetheart and come complete with recipes.

There’s something very special about combining butter, sugar, and flour into a gift. It takes planning, energy, and thought that show in the results. A cake for two is about the person with whom you share it.” —Sarah Levy, S. Levy Foods
