The history of the holiday and the story of its patron saint is shrouded in mystery. We know that February has long been celebrated as a month of romance, and that St. Valentine’s Day, as we know it today, contains vestiges of both Christian and ancient Roman tradition.

At the end of the 5th century, Roman Pope Gelasius officially declared the date of February 14 "St. Valentine's Day". It wasn't until until the Middle Ages, though, that the holiday became associated with love and romance, a tradition that first started from the common belief in France and England that birds started their mating season on February 14.

The oldest record of a valentine being sent was a poem written by a French medieval duke named Charles to his wife in 1415. Charles penned this sweet note to his lover while he was imprisoned in the Tower of London at just 21 years old. One of the lines in the poem was "I am already sick of love, My very gentle Valentine."

Cook milk, butter, honey and sugar in a double boiler until the sweetener melts. Mix with a tablespoon of vinegar, then combine with flour, baking powder and baking soda into a dough.

Divide the dough into 3 parts, then on floured surface roll out thinly.

Draw the heart on a piece of baking paper, then cut it and place on top of each rolled out dough and cut each one into the heart shape.

Cut the rest of the dough into cookies.

Bake in a preheated oven at 160°C/320°F with the ventilator on for a couple of minutes, then leave to cool down and harden at room temperature.

With a mixer beat the whipping cream until soft peaks, then add mascarpone cheese, sour cream, icing sugar and vanilla extract, and continue mixing until stiff peaks. Transfer the cream into a piping bag, then pipe the cream over the first base. Carefully place the second base on top and again pipe the cream over the base. Now place the last base and pipe the last layer of cream.

Decorate with fresh fruit, cookies and chocolates, then refrigerate for an hour.
