Love might be the reason for the season, but overdosing on sugary, heart-shaped desserts and candy is a close second. Surprise your S.O., whether a Valentine, Galentine, or yourself (we won't judge), with these homemade cookies, cakes, and pastries in the shape of hearts. Now that's how we do romance.
