Instead of serving the usual champagne and strawberries this Valentine’s Day, put the classic duo in cake form. To give the strawberries a gilded touch, visit a specialty baking store for edible gold sprinkles.

Chocolate and cherry gets a boozy upgrade with the addition of Kirschwasser, a German brandy. Standard brandy or rum work just as well if Kirschwasser isn’t available.

Dark chocolate and raspberries create a sense of classic romance. We especially like a snowy dusting of confectioner’s sugar atop this quick and easy cake.

It’s not Valentine’s Day without a splash of red. Serve this Southern classic in a white mug for the ultimate color pop, and add a dollop of sweet cream.
