PINK valentines!

wow! these are the pinkest cupcakes i've ever seen! this was my first time using paste colouring, so obviously there is a learning curve i need to overcome, they were supposed to be more in the pastel family. less is probably more. vanilla with vanilla buttercream, they were yummy even with the pinkness!

early valentine's cupcakes

here are the devil's food cake cupcakes with white chocolate buttercream frosting, so far they're getting great reviews. i made an attempt to use shimmer dust on them and have come to the realisation that shimmer dust is for fondant or royal icing applications...duh! so there is one cupcake for my valentine that has big clumps of shimmer on it ;) that is love xo

THE valentine's cake

this is my red velvet cake, the baking went well but my layer cake construction leaves much to be desired. this was my first three layer cake though. the recipe actually called for vanilla frosting but i think cream cheese frosting is the way to go with red velvet. one week early for valentines, but there will be some more valentines treats coming up this week!
