It is going to be Valentine's Day, yo. To put your feelings into words, we like these cute conversation cakes from Salty Tart Bakery (Midtown Global Market, 920 E. Lake St., Mpls., 612-874-9206). If you miss the main event on Sat. or skip it for pizza night, go to Barbette (1600 W. Lake St., Mpls, 612-827-5710) and Red Stag Supper Club (509 1st Ave NE, Mpls, 612-767-7766) on Sun. for free sparkling and chocolate covered strawberries. Maybe the romance last two days.
