Inspired by this beloved flavor, the chefs in our Food Network Kitchen came up with five all-new red velvet recipes that are perfect for Valentine’s Day — or any day, really.

These fluffy red pancakes are great on their own and even better decked out with sweetened cream cheese, a drizzle of maple syrup and toasted pecans. For a sweet wake-up on Valentine's Day, make them heart shaped.

Get all the flavors of fluffy red velvet cake in a snappy sugar cookie, and then make cookie sandwiches with cream cheese filling.
