Valentine's Day, and the presentation of the Project!

In which I am a Horrible Person, and there are cupcakes.



What's this? A box, on Valentine's Day? For me? How exiting!


 

I'm afraid I don't quite understand. Cupcakes and superpink icing are certainly to be expected, but why the letters? V-A-N-P-Y-E? Did somebody think it was Vampire Day*? And are those... pieces of lego?


 

Apparently so, but I'm still not convinced that there hasn't been a mix-up in V-related holidays...


 

Oh! Of course! How... er... thoughtful.


 



And they look lovely... at least from this angle.

*beat*

Is it time for Easter yet?

NOTES

Last year on Valentine's, I made a post about how I'd be much more enthusiastic about it if we celebrated it the traditional way. And this year I decided to make good on that idea. Converting one person at a time, we will surely prevail!

I think I've made the pinkest icing in recorded history.

Cupcakes turned out all right but to me they taste very sweet (overly saccharine on Valentine's! It's as if I planned it this way!) and not chocolatey enough. Still, they baked with flat tops which made the icing easy. I got the recipe from Joy the Baker if you want to try it.

And lastly, before you castigate me completely as a horrible person... I did make a heart cupcake:


 


The icing dribbled over the sides and from the looks of things I've made an emo Valentine's cupcake, but still!

No really. I love love, I've got nothing against it... but saints matyred by Romans need their day in the limelight too. XD


*Aka Vampire Celebration Day (or Squee Over Superfast Humanoid Mosquito Day to the rest of us), a celebration which does not exist but probably will soon.

That is definitely the pinkest icing I have ever seen.

Hahah :DDD

Definitely emo :D But V Day is okay for emo too.

I was aiming for blood red. I kept adding colouring but it just turned pinker and pinker! Maybe I should have tried some yellow... ah well.

Happy Valentine's!

So... were those other cupcakes in differen boxes, then? They look good... damn; I haven't had breakfast yet. *wanders off to eat*

Hope you had a good day!

(The original entry had five lj-cuts and I tried to fix it and ended up with this and then I gave up.)

They were tasty. *noms* Happy (belated) Valentine's!

Hey, sweetheart, it's Minden! I've missed you, so I'm adding you to my new journal. :)

I would send you a cupcake to celebrate the new journal, but they're all gone. XD
