I got the Blues, the Reds and the Pinks...

Yeah, so...it's almost Valentine's Day. And my little bakery is being run over with all things red and pink.

Starting at the top:


Obviously, a nice little variety of heart cookies is a nice offering this time of year. It's easy: 3 batches of frosting in white, red and pink. Done and done.

I'm all into sprinkles. This is a 5" cookie, and I package it in a card box with food safe tissue. I think it's a neat little gift, I'm working on a "Thank You" and "Happy Birthday".

More sprinkles. These make me laugh. I'm trying to work them into "Kiss me, I'm Irish" for St. Patrick's day.

I had to cut this by hand: I can't seem to find a rose cookie cutter that suits me. These would be great as a wedding favor, yes?

One of my roommates and I used to leave conversation heart poetry for each other. These are little 2" cookies and bring back a lot of laughing memories of our obscure private jokes in college.

And finally:


Remember Luke: the EIU Panther-music-lover-with-a-chocolate-allergy? His big sister Abby is turing 8 and is having a Girls Rock! birthday party. She got a pink version of the guitar cake.

I'm now headed to the store to replenish my red and pink food color supply.
