Fat Tuesday, Ash Wednesday and Valentine’s Day

Big week coming up: Tuesday, February 13, is FAT TUESDAY and the last day of Mardi Gras. The next day, Wednesday, is Valentine’s Day. Also on Wednesday is Ash Wednesday – the beginning of Lent. Here are a few recipes to celebrate Fat Tuesday and Valentine’s Day. There are also recipes for the first day of Lent.

As you can see from the photos, I made the Dark Chocolate Cake in 2 different forms – Round and Heart Shaped. Lucky me as it happens that I  have heart shaped cake pans.
