It doesn’t have to be Valentine’s Day to express your love or appreciation to someone. Although, I made these mini Cherry filled pies to give away on Valentine’s Day, they can be done and given away anytime of the year. A heart represents love and everyone needs love. Love comes in many forms and you can also express it in your writings, songs, gifts, and even in baking.
So, in baking these beautiful mini pies I showed my family an expression of my love by taking time and making them.
