Happy Valentine's Day...

...everybody. Hope you all have wonderful plans to spend this day with someone special.

Here's a lil' hint on how to make a heart-shaped cake for your valentine when you don't have a heart-shaped pan (like me).

Bake a round cake and a square cake. When they cool down, cut the round cake in half. Turn the square cake to make a diamond shape and place each half round on the upper sides of the diamond. Spread that icing on thick (chocolate of course) and there you have it - A beautiful cake for your valentine!


Here is a picture of some pretty tulips that I'm sending to all my blogging friends on this Valentine's Day.



These two guys are my valentines - they are my everything actually.

Happy Valentine's Wishes to you all!

You know Cathy, I was looking for a little something sweet to make for tomorrow... THANKS for your cake tip! Since I'm on the bandwagon with LOSING weight, I never got it together and thought about how much my Valentines would enjoy a sweet dessert tomorrow!

Hugs to you, Kimberly

Will cream cheese icing do...? ;)

Thanks Cathy for the tip!! I've seen this tip somewhere before but totally forgot about it until I read your post.

And I absolutely LOVE your Valentine's display. TOO cute!! Tulips are my favorite!! I rather get a dozen of them instead of roses!!

Have a great weekend and an even better Valentine's Day!!

Carrie♥
