So, after I posted on Facebook that I had almost finished making Andrew's Valentine's Day gift, many of you asked for a picture, so, this is what I made him:
I found this idea on a blog called cozy cottage cute. She actually punched out cute words from a "tattered, old book." I didn't have any tattered, old books, nor could I bring myself to destroy a book that way, so I typed up some love poems (Elizabeth Barrett Browning, etc) and then punched out words from those. I think it came out pretty cute. =)
And, after our traditional "fancy" homemade dinner of tenderloin steak with gorgonzola and herbs and grape tomato and garlic pasta with arugula and basil, we had dessert! A new one called Strawberry Champagne Cupcakes, and boy, was it tasty!!! Here is a pic of that:
It's layered mini strawberry champagne cupcakes, champagne buttercream frosting, champagne soaked strawberries, and chocolate ganache served in a champagne flute. And, it's all made from scratch! (I think dessert actually took longer to make than dinner!) YUM!!
