Valentine’s Day Cupcakes
So, it’s Valentine’s Day in the morning. I have to say the shine of all things heart shaped, pink and love related is wearing a little thin with me now. After years of making a big deal of Valentine’s, I’m starting to see it for what it is – a money spinning drain. That said, I do think that it provides me with a good excise to make something for the one I love and this year I’m only making things, not buying them. My gift this year is cakes, chocolate ones with pink vanilla icing and pink wafer roses. Oh, not forgetting the glitter – you got to have glitter. There were a few other love related items laying around the house so I thought I’d capture them too. I really hope everyone has a happy romantic Valentine’s, I look forward to seeing lots of pretty pictures.
These are gorgeous Miles is very lucky. My hubby has just agreed with me these look so much better than the ones we saw in a cupcakery yesterday in Covent Garden xx
Oh Kara, that’s a really sweet thing to say. I would love to make cakes for a living, but until then I’ll keep practising at the weekend. I hope you and your Mr have a lovely Valentine’s! x
Helen,
I remain in utter awe of you and your fantabulous baking and creative skills.
I hope you enjoy the fruits of your labour, very well done!

Louise! Thank you for stopping by and being so nice about my little cakes. I’m trying to stick to my New Year’s resolution to bake something new each week, so far so good. Kiss to Lyla! x
I’d rather have one of your home made cakes than a generic shop-bought piece of tat any day!!
Have a happy V Day!

Thanks Lj, good seeing you this weekend. Have a good Valentine’s Day and enjoy some pavolva for me. x
