French time!

Last week Paul and I made the BBBEST french toast. I mean, wow. I also made some french macarons. (macaron's NOT macaroons (the coconut kind)...that extra 'o' makes a totally different pastry) I don't know if it was the love in the air, since it was valentine's and everything, or those 2 treats just snuck up on us...but there was a definite Parisian theme happening.

The cute card I got Paul

This french toast involves:

-Soaking the bread in a custard that is made the night before

-honey

-half and half

need I say more??

MACARON'S! This one is an almond, vanilla cookie with whipped milk chocolate ganache.

Airy and crispy on the outside...chewy in the middle...with a creamy chocolate-y center. AH!!!

Tonight...a nice vanilla honey chamomile with a macaron.
*sigh*

Happy Valentines...part deuce

Yay! Pink...red...purple...

You pretty Valentines Day, you!

My gifts when I woke up-Paul worked this morning :(

Cupcake card!!

Roses from my dad! Thanks again, I love them :D

More of the roses from my dad.

All of my flowers!

woot!

V-Day

Valentines day is right around the corner...so I decided to make some chocolate cake treats :D

Chocolate cake (This is an awesome low-fat chocolate cake recipe-extremely good) mixed with milk chocolate frosting and cherry preserves. Then covered in pink white chocolate.

The pearly heart ones.

The chocolate vermicelli ones.

Oh- and for the heck of it...I made a glimpse into the future with MICROSOFT PAINT...yes...ms paint. geesh.

Of course, the skin toned parts are going to be heavily shaded and made to look more 3-D. But it was in MS PAINT for goodness sakes. I mean, I had to use the 'Spray paint' tool for the flowers color! Deal.

Happy Valentines day fools! Oh, and I am sure there will be more pictures of cupcakes or something in the coming days.
