  1. Can you please tell me what is half and half - and ingredient I see in your buttermilk cake recipe(icing)
    Thank you. 😀

    1. Hi Shell, half and half is an American convenience product that's often used for coffee. It's simply a mixture of whole milk and heavy cream. It's usually 1/4 heavy cream to 3/4 whole milk.

  2. Such a great collection of treats! I love Valentine's baking. A perfect excuse to indulge 🙂

  3. Now that the Super Bowl is over, we can get ready for Valentine's Day! These are all great recipes and any one would be great for my sweetie. Love that heart shaped cake hack 🙂
