Hy-Vee Recipes and Ideas

Insert lollipop sticks into the cream filling of sandwich cookies. Then melt white chocolate according to package directions. Using a toothpick, swirl oil-based pink food coloring into the white chocolate. Partially dip cookies into the coating; gently tap the stick to allow excess coating to drip off, then place upright in a glass to dry. 

Pipe icing on homemade or store-bought cupcakes, sprinkle with coarse sugar, and add a fresh raspberry. For the heart decoration, melt pink candy melts according to package directions. Pipe the melted candy into heart shapes onto a sheet of waxed paper, chill to set then insert into the icing.

Order two dozen cake donuts from your Hy-Vee Bakery—enough to fit in a 10-in. pedestal. Purchase a dozen roses, sprinkles, and heart-shaped candies. Ice the donuts with pink, red, or white glaze and add desired candies and sprinkles. Once they’re dry, you can start stacking and decorating. Be sure to gently wash and dry the roses before allowing them to touch the food.

Use a heart-shaped cookie cutter to cut out homemade Rice Cereal Treats. Then dip half in melted white chocolate and decorate with candies or sprinkles.

Order these little cakes from the Bakery and decorate them with pink and white frosting. You can even ask your Hy-Vee bakery specialist to add frosted hearts. Pretty sweet.
