I ran out of time to come up with an original Valentine for my sweetie, so PINTEREST to the rescue! Total CASE of Wendy Lee’s card, but changed the colors to make it a little more masculine. You can view her card HERE.
The photo below is from this morning. Dan is such a sweetheart. He has carried on my papa’s tradition, where HE showers the family with Valentine treats for our kids. Mom is off the hook (crazy hard for me because I LOVE making these kinds of things). But I know it was SO SPECIAL that it was my papa’s holiday and he always got the treats for us kids, and Dan has done the same. Our kids have always looked forward to Valentine’s Day morning with their daddy!
As you all know, I love baking, and I LOVELOVELOVE that 2 of our grandkids enjoy baking as well! Here’s Stella and Eli baking.
Here are some Valentine cookies I made. I am still such a beginner, but really want to get this sugar cookie decorating down! It will take me a long time to get better at this! Any hints are welcome!!!
Here’s a photo of Stella, who made a Valentine for her mommy and daddy when they were on a get away trip. She’s a girl after her Grammy’s heart – she loves crafting!
Hope you all have a wonderful Valentine’s Day!!!!
You wanted hints…so I have a very important hint. Send one to me in Miami and I’ll let you know what to do better. LOL Your cookies are stunning and perfect and professional looking. What in the world are you talking about…you need practice? No way! Sell! Sell! Sell!! They are amazing!!!
I love your cookies!!! You did an awesome job!! I would love to be able to decorate sugar cookies like that, but I guess I just don’t have the patience!!! Can you share any tips and/or tricks??
Hi Barb! I love sweet sugarbelle’s blog and use her recipes and techniques. SHe’s my hero!!! Thanks so much for your sweet comments!
Your cookies look so professional. The ones they sell like this in my town are $3.50 EACH and don’t even taste good. Did you use a special icing to make them look so perfect. Great job Lorrie and such adorable grandkids.
Ta carte est très belle !
Tes petits enfants sont trop chou et de futurs pâtissiers !!!
