Valentine's Day Baking


It's been a while since I've done any baking on the B files (for reasons of special diets and economy), but I hope you will make a cup of tea and sit down with some cake today. I asked my partner what he would like as a Valentine's Day treat, hoping to make white chocolate and cranberry brownies, a heart shaped mincemeat tart, a cherry pudding in heart-shaped ramekin, or something suitably wonderful to demonstrate my love. However, he requested fairy cakes with butter icing. Not particularly exciting, but I did manage to Valentine-ise them with some red icing, pink sprinkles, and pink cases.

I also have some exciting news - can you guess from the books that I've chosen? And the small object in the middle...

    Congratulations from me as well, hope that you'll have a long and happy life together.

    I did type a comment yesterday, but must have had a "senior moment" and not completed the sending process.
