WOWZA, it's February 1st on Friday!? The love month came out of nowhere! Are you ready? Don't let it just be another day.
If you filter through all the pink confetti, doilies, sugary crap chocolate, ridiculous stuffed bears with "I love you" embroidered on them, over-priced red roses and restaurants packed to the hilt, you can survive Valentine's Day and perhaps find a little magic in it.
All aboard the love train everyone.

I know I really have to branch out from owls, but these are so great! I would never be able to make them (although I do have the same granite counter top), but the creative design from Baking Blue deserves a shout out. Don't worry - she provides step by step instructions here.
Cupcakes:
My girls only ever seem to want me to make cupcakes, so maybe this valentine's day I will take it up a notch and make these red velvet ones. A ton of red food coloring never hurt anyone... right?
