OK, so how many of you out there celebrates Valentines Day in some way?

I kind of sit on the fence a bit.  On one hand I expect a dozen red roses and a huge box of chocolates (*clears throat*), yet on the other hand I think it is commercial trash.  Do we really need one day of the year to show our love to our loved ones?

Since I rarely get a dozen red roses and a huge box of chocolates (have I ever?!) I prefer to think that Valentines Day is rather pointless.  I am lucky enough to have been in a wonderful relationship for 21 years, in which we tell each other we love each half a dozen times a day!

However, I can’t just let Valentines Day pass unnoticed and since I love food so much, it generally gets celebrated through some kind of bake! Last year it was this one.  But the heart-shaped cake that I made Mr M for our anniversary would be a good one too!

When I was approached, therefore, by the Home department of House of Fraser to review their Masterclass Smart Silicone Heart Shaped Baking Pan what was I supposed to do?!

Of course I jumped at the chance, and I decided to use it to make jellies in.

Now, I am not a fan of jelly.  It wobbles and is slippery and it kind of freaks me out.  It is also generally filled with all kinds of nasties and really doesn’t appeal.

Anyway, having decided that this baking pan was perfect for jellies since each heart shape is moulded from silicon, sitting in a lovely firm non-stick tray, I had to go with the idea!

The kids are going to love these when they get home.  As far as they are concerned jelly rocks…and actually, having eaten a sneaky one post-run this morning, even I have to admit that these are really rather yummy!

Best of all, they are quick and easy to make and will satisfy that need for a sweet fix after dinner.  And, being made from fresh apple and raspberry juice and gelatine, there is nothing really to object to!

Although I am rather squeamish about gelatine, having been a vegetarian for a long time, it does actually have a role in improving digestive, skin and mental health!

If you were making jellies for your loved one you could always sneak in some prosecco…half apple and raspberry juice and half prosecco would be rather delicious!

Anyway, if you fancy getting your hands on one of these lovely trays in time for your Valentine bake, then enter my simple competition below.  All you need to do is log in with your Facebook account or an email address and follow the instructions!

You must be over 18 to enter, be a human being and live in the UK.  The winner will be informed by email and must provide their postal address within 2 working days in order to receive the prize.  Good luck!

    Mmm heart shaped cake sounds like an amazing idea! 🙂 I agree with you about jelly though I’m not a huge fan either! I would love to win so I can make my hubby some of your jelly recipe for a Valentine’s Day dessert as he on the other hand loves the stuff 🙂 xx

    Oooh yes please, they’re super cute! Hubby and I haven’t ever celebrated V-Day as our anniversary is a few days later and we even got married five years exactly after we met. Then last year our son was born on V-Day giving our family a much better reason to celebrate on the 14th Feb 🙂

      I know that feeling! This isn’t really a recipe but I thought I would share it because it is quite a good way to get kids to eat a bit of fruit…even if fruit sugar is as bad as ‘normal’ sugar! At least there are vitamins in it?!

    I am just the same as you about Valentines day! I sort expect something to happen but then don’t! I have a heart imprint to use on toast but I would love these to make something for Ross and Grace. We love courgette brownies at the moment so I would probably make those. Thank you for linking to #PoCoLo x

    Lovely moulds, my little boy would love to help me make these for his Daddy! My hubby is having a knee op just before Valentine’s so this might cheer him up! (Possibly!) x

    I love baking all through the year & these moulds would be great for Valentine’s Day. They would also be great to use during the year for other celebration baking or for family/friends birthdays.

    We don’t usually bother much with Valentine’s Day, but to be able to make some little treats to acknowledge it would be lovely. These look great, and I like the way the moulds pop out of the tray, it must make it far easier to remove the contents without breaking the shape
