Fall In Love With Baking
The old adage, the best gifts are handmade, is undeniably true—especially on Valentine's Day. So this year, ditch the stress of finding the perfect gift and opt for a handmade creation. If you're not sure what to make, try baking a sweet treat. Not a skilled baker? Don't sweat it, Krusteaz, maker of premium baking mixes, has simple, delicious recipes sure to impress your valentine.
Great news! Strawberry shortcake isn't just for dessert anymore. Make a batch of pancakes with Krusteaz Buttermilk Pancake Mix and layer between a cream cheese filling and slices of strawberries. As a finishing touch, secure the layers with a baking pick, topped with a kind message or love note.
