Oh My! Valentine's Day is upon us!
If you have completely put off EVERYTHING (ehem, like I have) don't fret!
You can still have a lovely dessert without making it from scratch.
I love a simple box cake mix. I don't think there is anything wrong with it.
I even love canned frosting. It's not a sin.
So, I made this wonderfully simply and beautiful cake for our early Valentine's Day dessert.
A Chocolate Cake (from a box)
Vanilla Frosting (from a 1 1/2 cans)
Red Hot Candies
Peeps Hearts
Bake. Frost. Decorate. Eat!
And, while it's baking... get your arts and crafts on!
I made this fun banner to decorate the cake. It's made from straws, some twine, washi tape and stickers.

I love simple stuff! Don't you?
More things in life should be this simple!
Like Laundry.
And Doing the Dishes.
And getting my daughter to Brush her Teeth and Make her Bed!
Yes, can someone please stuff those things into a box and make life easy?

I love the pretty topper you created! I just recently started playing with washi tape and it's great. It makes it so simple to add extra color to a batch of cake pops.

How creative. You did a wonderful job.

ReplyDeleteSimply stunning Karyn. In fact, I don't think it's simple at all, phenomenal is more of an apt word.
