9. Cherry tomato hearts
Simply cut two separate tomatoes at 45 degrees and join the two pieces in a way that they make a heart. Combine the two together using a toothpick and it will make a lovely cupid’s arrow and a healthy snack at the same time. 
10. Sweetheart shortbread
Sometimes you want to have something sweet, but not too sweet. It’s times like these when this recipe, which produces a light cookie with a bit of a crunch, comes in handy. http://www.diamondsfordessert.com/2010/02/sweetheart-shortbread_21.html
Let the kids cream the butter and sugar and as you add an egg to the mixture. As the kids do this, you can mix the baking soda, cornstarch and flour, the baking powder and a bit of salt. Combine the two mixtures. Separate the dough before baking if you want them colored. Flat cookies will not need to be baked for long. For crunchy cookies, have them in the oven for a bit longer while covered with an aluminum foil.
