This Valentine’s breakfast treat looks a lot harder than it actually is. Being a good baker is not key in this process.

Even though most of this project was a breeze to make, the hard part came when the fruit started to fall off of the pancakes. The pancakes were still warm when I put the strawberry icing on. A few minutes after I began to layer the strawberries and banana, some of the fruit began to fall off –  a minor flaw in the creation.

I am not very skilled at baking, but I accomplished this in less than 30 minutes. It turned out fairly well, and I would recommend this to anyone who wants to make a cute and delicious treat for Valentine’s Day.
