By Justina Coronel Valentine’s Day is filled with thumping hearts, cupid floating, and lots of love flowing. This special day only reinforces the love that you have for the one that you care about the most; they truly deserve a toast. But, there is no better way to show your affection than exploring the ultimate dessert destinations around Miami. Not only will your loved ones adore you, but so will your taste buds. Barton G The lavish and extraordinary display of these desserts will exceed any of your expectations. The extravagant choices include Marie Antoinette’s Head – Let Them Eat Cake, which features a head displayed with a swirl of cotton candy as hair surrounded by strawberry shortcakes, fresh berries, and schlag. The 7 Deadly Sweets has different levels of desirable desserts such as dulce de leche, la mancha-saffron apple tart, tres leches, caramel flan, tiramisu, mango cheesecake, and honey bonuelos. If that wasn’t enough, the Baked Alaskan Everglades is a seven-story red velvet ice cream cake wrapped in toasted meringue and candy apple cherry. The Sabrina Sundae also features a giant martini filled with a variety of house-made ice creams and outrageous toppings, and the Brain Freeze is a chocolate fudge mousse cake that has spiced chocolate nougat and gianduja.
