Isn't that pizza cute? I love it because it shows that everyone can do those adorable food tricks without spending years practicing - or a ton of money. As you cook, think about the shape of the final dish. Can you change it up for a holiday or just to be cute?
Bread is a particularly good canvas for this sort of play since you can squish it into whatever odd shape you need today: Hearts for Valentine's Day, Christmas trees, baby ducks for...uh, the heck of it. (This bread pudding doesn't quite fit, but I love it so you get a link.)
The pizza was made by Heather Andrews, who writes about an uncategorizable variety of interesting and amusing things at bookish and is a delight on twitter. I love the artisan look; you can tell a human made it for you. I like that in food, don't you?
We hope you're spending Valentine's Day with people you love. What are you baking to celebrate?

My husband's favorite sugar cookies! And strawberry/cream cheese stuffed french toast!
The pizza looks not only cute but, delicious also! French Silk Pie here; it has that chocolate thing going!
Look, I made another! Heart-shaped naan!
