Valentine's Day 1

For a long time I thought Valentine's Day was a silly holiday, but 3 years ago I caught the fever, and have really enjoyed it ever since.  3 years ago we had this breakfast with our friends (J wasn't even there, he was at a school competition in Reno).  2 years ago I think I was still traumatized by having P so I didn't post anything, and I'm sure we didn't do anything.  Maybe had crab or something.  Last year we were in California, and since we weren't in our own house, I know I didn't decorate anything, but I know we did something because I have a huge pop-up Valentine's Day card from J.  I also did this and this last year.  Needless to say, I did not do a Valentine's Day card swap this year.  BUT, I would like to have a Valentine's Day-a-Day each day until the Big Day itself!  Just a little something to give you ideas for what to do.

This is a blog I just discovered and absolutely cannot get enough of, and this heart cake tutorial is absolutely aDORable, so enjoy!

Heart Cake Tutorial

Finally!!  Is that what you are thinking?  Its ok.  You can admit it.  We are all friends here. 

Do you remember this little thing?

 

Well it turns out some of you daring bakers want to make this yourselves.  Yeah you!  I cant wait to see and read all about it... send me links girls! (and boys... if there are any boys)

Well. In order for me to do a tutorial I had to make another one.  So, forgive the less then stellar decorations, but here is our 'tutorial' heart cake.

 

But you didnt come to see the outside right? 

Here goes.

Start out by making four eight inch pans of white cake.  (If you want the actual recipe, just click here)

Make one 9x13 (you can do whatever shape and size you want) pan of red velvet cake. (recipe here)

See you tomorrow for our 2nd Valentine's Day!
