// The Perfect Main: Heart Shaped Ravioli
This all-organic ravioli will be the ideal addition to your Valentine's Day celebration. The pasta dough is made with beetroots, giving the ravioli a stunning colour, and they are filled with a creamy ricotta and pinenut filling.

// The Perfect Side Dish: Whipped Butter Tower
Whip up this beautiful whipped butter by adding softened butter to a stand mixer and mixing it at a high speed for four to five minutes. I used my favourite butter, Pepe Saya cultured butter, which has the most amazing flavour profile.
Serve this dish alongside some crispy French baguette and sprinkle with a touch of salt flakes. For an extra touch of sophistication, you can also consider adding edible flowers, although it's completely up to you, these can be found at most gourmet food stores or local farmers markets.
// The Perfect Dessert: The L’Amour Cake
By Le Yeallow, the L’Amour cake is the perfect addition to your Valentine’s Day; Inspired by the classic French Charlotte with a modern twist, it tastes as heavenly as it looks.
Le Yeahllow, offering the most beautiful range of desserts with something for every occasion, can be purchased online through their website and delivered straight to your door, or instore at their Melbourne CBD or South Yarra locations.
// Activity Idea: Ice Skating
Ice skating is truly the epitome of romance, especially when the temperature in Melbourne soars above 30 degrees!
Not only is it a delightful way to spend time together, but it also offers fantastic photo opportunities that are both fun and visually appealing. Whether you're experienced or just starting out, skating as a couple is a splendid way to celebrate Valentine's Day.
I wish everyone a Valentine's Day filled with magic and love, whether it be celebrated with your lover, besties or even your little ones I hope this inspiration helps make your Valentine’s Day a little bit more special!
