Valentine's Day 2009

Valentine's day was a busy one for me this year. I made some Cupcakes to sell at a friend's bakery. I think I went a little overboard. I made a lot of cupcakes but ended up giving most of them away. I sent some to the bakery but they didn't go down all that well. They did however sell them at a gym because there was quite a few left over. They seemed to be a lot more successful at the gym. Hold on a minute, I thought healthy gym bunnies would shun a cupcake, obviously not! I should make some with little dumbbells on and see how successful they are.


Vanilla cupcakes with chocolate frosting and a "creative" use of candy letters and love hearts.

Vanilla cupcakes with chocolate frosting - I love these little hearts. I had to pick them out of a white hearts and pink stars mix. There are loads of those little pink stars left.

My favourite - chocolate cake with vanilla frosting and a chocolate heart. I made the hearts myself!

A box of cupcakes for the bakery.

Valentine's Day for two

Cupcakes are selfish and lonely. They're a single serving dessert for one. Valentine's Day is about sharing and not being lonely. So here we go: an extra large cupcake for two people!


A normal sized cupcake next to an extra large one. It's actually just double the size of a normal sized cupcake.

And if you're all alone you can have more dessert to console yourself with (that's what I did - sob)!
