I love Valentines Day. Love.... It....! So being it one month and 5 days prior to this grand holiday I thought I had better start preparing for the festivites. I made cupcakes with my new cupcake pans. I had cherry chip cake mix and plain white whipped frosting. I cannot "leave well enough alone". I had to not only throw the frosting in my kitchen aid for about 5 mins. but also add some more flavoring. I thought that lemon flavoring would be fantastic with cherry cupcakes. Sort of like cherry lemonade, I thought. Geez...... the frosting ended up more like a paint texture and running all over the place. The cupcakes although tasting really good, were sweaty. Sweaty like they had been stored in a plastic bag for 2 months. Oh well, like I said, one month and 5 days until Valentines day to prepare. If you are on of the "lucky" ones to receive one of my baking treats, just smile and nod please! Valentines cupcakes weren't enough to complete my pre-party so I made a Valentines mobile, featured in the last picture. It would make my 2nd grade teacher proud. I'm keeping it up until I travel to Hancocks to get some felt for my "real" mobile that I have invisioned in my crazy mind!

You are so creative. I hope I get a V-Day treat :) I would love to try a cupcake.
You need to start your own show! I check several times a week to see what you have baked or what fancy craft you have created. By the way, are those cupcakes on your diet??? I know, I just had to be a mean mom. Love the new dishes for your chicken pot pies.
