Homemade fondant cake...my hands are still sore from kneading that tough dough. (maybe I will buy the fondant next time) It was a gift of love for Dave. Not just the final product, but he loves when I wake up with him at 5am and this just happens to be one of the only times the kids are always little angels. Amazing what you can do when kids are sleeping. I brought it in to Dave's office so he could share it with his staff.
Now, this Valentine's Day gift was eaten up the second after I handed it to him. Dave is not much of a sweet tooth but he looooves meats and cheeses. Its kind of wierd but I knew he would like a meat and cheese bouquet MUCH more than a fruit bouquet. The odd idea spontaneously hit me when I was slicing up cheese for Lizzie and Dave was locked away for the morning, busily preparing for seminary. 
And, the final Valentine's Day treat was for Lizzie. She helped me make some mini cupcakes.
She gets very excited to wear her very own apron. She's very good at placing the cupcake papers in the muffin tins, mixing the batter, adding ingredients, and placing sprinkles on top!
Liz and I had a lot of fun making these!
The last Valentine treat idea came from Parents Magazine and I didnt take pictures but they were tasty and cute: Cut tortillas into heart shapes. Spray with baking pam. Sprinkle sugar or cinnamon/sugar on them. Sprinkle red and pink decorative sugar and place in the oven at 400 for 5 min. Quick, easy, and fun for Lizzie. (Plus, another opportunity to use my cookie cutters) :)
***No pics of cute lil Julie this time but Jamie took a whole photo shoot of her. Will post soon!***
