Be mine, Valentine!

Valentine's day this year was really fun! I decided to make a heart-shaped wreath to celebrate the season, make Alan a two layer, cream cheese frosting, marshmallow fondant, red velvet cake, and buy lots of candy for my loved ones! I also got some lovely flowers from my sweetie!



Naturally, my wreath was a pinterest find. I couldn't find all of the materials I needed to make it the exact way that it was shown, but I had a lot of fun and I think it still turned out cute (maybe just not AS cute). Click HERE for the link to the site!

Here was my attempt:

I couldn't find a heart-shaped foam wreath, so I hot glued the felt circles to a another heart-shaped wreath that I found in a craft store. (Yes, that is my reflection in the window!)

Here is how it is supposed to look:

A bit of a different look, but it was still really fun to make, despite the fact that it doesn't turn out quite as cute as it would have if I couldn't have followed the instructions with the right materials (living in Provo makes it so all people want to do the same crafts and therefore materials go out of stock).

The cake was really fun to make for Alan, and it made a great desert after our dinner at PF Chang's (yumm!!!).

I didn't realize fondant was so hard to work with! It was really fun to make but kind of a disaster in my kitchen for a few hours. Powdered sugar EVERYWHERE! I made the hearts with little heart-shaped fondant/cookie cutters.
Despite how amateur of a cake boss I am, he appreciated it anyways :) What a cutie!

All in all I would say this Valentine's Day was a success!
