When you think of Valentine’s Day, what comes to mind?  Maybe a beautiful batch of red roses, a decadent red-heart shaped box of chocolates, or, maybe even puckered lips. However, there’s one other visual cue that brings our minds to the Holiday of Love, and that’s color!  This is an inescapable facet of the holiday which is evident in the holiday displays laden with pink and red packaging.  What if we told you that you could make a beautiful pink whipped cream and customize the flavor to fit your featured Valentine’s Day recipe?
