I had a Valentine shaped cake pan that I cannot find. Hubby rearranged/decluttered the pots/pans in the kitchen cabinets. It's been an experience finding what I need. lol Retirement is turning him into a clutter free expert. :rolleyes: No wonder that box going to Goodwill was so heavy. o_O

Thinking of Valentine's Day makes me think of lots of money. This day was the second biggest payoff of the year for my former store, the first being Christmas, the third being Mother's Day.
 
Maybe 5-10 yrs. ago, two woodchucks were mating right outside the window of my office here. Yes, it was V-Day so their actions were appropriate. They're usually skittish but I was able to walk within a few ft. of them. Really going at it, showing no fear at all.

Other than that, no special memories. In childhood days, mom always made a heart-shaped, one layer cake with pink cherry-flavored icing.
 
Valentine's Day brings back memories of how special my mother made each holiday with so little money. One memory I have is of some fluffy pink dresses that she made for all three of us (my 2 older sisters and I); they had the cutest heart shaped pockets. There were many pink frosted heart shape cakes as well.

You're welcome. It's the best! Some recipes omit the buttermilk and vinegar but that's what gives it the distinctive taste. And you'll never get an authentically good Red Velvet Cake from a box.
Sounds delish!!! I usually make the red velvet cake for our anniversary (from scratch as well). Will perhaps try your recipe this year.
