Valentines Day

Valentines day this year happened to land during Half term break so both girls and I had a day of Baking.
Firstly we made some homemade Chocolates for my hardworking Husband.  I found a chocolate mould including heart shapes in the poundshop a few weeks ago with this project in mind. We melted a slab of  Belgian chocolate and added some little bit to the bottom of the moulds. We used tiny pieces of homeycomb and some candy sprinkles etc. Then we poured the melted chocolate into the moulds before leaving it in the fridge for a few hours. Husband was very impressed and said they were top quality!
Husband and I were planning a nice Thai takeaway fro dinner that night so I though we could make something yummy for pudding too.
I had bought 2 silicon heart shaped cake tins for a few pounds so we used them to make some cakes. We made 2 sponge heart cakes and then made some cupcakes using the remaining mixture.  We topped them with pink vanilla frosting and added some pink hearts cut out of icing.
They tasted goooooood!
