I told the husband last week that I didn’t want flowers on Valentine’s Day (what we prefer to call “VD”). I didn’t want jewelry (not that we can afford it right now). I didn’t want a fancy dinner. I all I wanted, I told him, was some petit fours from the Market. And he delivered. Hurrah!

petit fours for valentine's day

They are delicious. Light and airy, with a touch of marzipan in the center of two layers of cake. Just the right amount of sweetness.

Thanks to the husband!
