My Twenty Valentines 💖
February 14, 2020
Happy Love Day! And with it, one of my favorite forms of affection: cupcakes. Little ones for my students and a few big ones for my work loves. Here are the day’s red ❤️ highlights.
Cupcakes just out of the oven are magical.
Like a starry night
This buttercream was perfection. Nice and stiff for piping. But I squeezed in too much gel coloring. I wanted a light pink. This was more of watermelon candy color.
All pretty for my wacky eleven year olds.
Stiff buttercream made for dreamy piping…
A few shots of the big ones
And because there is such good light in the refrigerator.
Off to work.
Oh wait! My coffee mug gave me love…
…and I gave it back.
Valentine’s selfie. I proudly wear my heart on my sleeve. And I hadn’t made the bed yet. Filtered, for the lipstick’s sake.
My non-vegan stash of kid offerings.
The greatest love of all…
Heart-related cute things
I made this as a little girl. I’m the same as I was when I was six years old…
Happy Valentine’s Day! xovv
