Baking for Valentine's day...

Take two cups of kindness,
add one cup of trust.
A half of cup of caring,
and a dash of pixie dust.
Take a spoon of kisses,
add it from above.
Stir it slow and gently,
that's my recipe for love.

Alexis is visiting today and I am helping her make Valentine's for special people she loves. She doesn't need much help though as she is an experienced little baker and quite a talented decorator. Actually, I am learning a lot from her....
First, if you squirt any frosting on the counter...you are supposed to lick it off and not waste it by wiping with a cloth.
Second, any M & M's that spill out of the bag you are supposed to eat. You can only put the ones on the cupcakes that you reach into the bag for.
and most importantly, make sure you taste them for quality control...you would hate to give away any that were not up to your own standards.
Next you have to pick out just the right Princess Valentine for all of your family and write a loving sentiment.
All bagged up and ready for delivery!
