Valentine’s Day DIY Heart Garland
When the girls were little I used to have fun adding some little Valentine’s Day touches throughout the house but honestly it’s been years since I’ve done that. I’ve done some Valentine’s baking the last few years (like this cake and these cupcakes and these mini cakes) but not really any decorating.
Good morning! Today I wanted to share a little pink tulip cake I made this week. With Valentine’s coming up I decided to make a pink version of this cake I made last year. The cake stand is just a marbled scalloped tray I’ve had for several years (you can find a similar one here and here) on a wood cake stand base that broke off of another cake stand I used to have.
Chocolate Valentine’s Day Cupcakes
On Thursday we made Valentine’s Day cupcakes for Lola’s class. I had thought we might make some red velvet ones with cream cheese frosting for a festive feeling but she very specifically requested yellow cupcakes with chocolate frosting. Haha! So, we made some nice basic yellow cupcakes and then dressed them up a tiny bit with some different swirls and little embellishments on top.
One of the items we get asked about if it made the move and where it went is the wire candle chandelier that was above our dining room table in our last house. Well, yes, it did indeed make the move and has been sitting out on our porch in a corner for the last six months.
Lillie, Lola and I had some fun making some mini valentine’s cakes last week. They make a fun little dessert so I thought I would share how we did it in case anyone wanted to make some. I had seen several ombre cakes on pinterest and thought it would be fun to try!
I just wanted to pop in real quickly to wish you all a VERY HAPPY VALENTINE’S DAY!
Here is a free download for one of my favorite “love” verses. Jon and I used this in the first page of our wedding program.
