Carol, this looks delicious. You come up with so many creative ideas. Well done.
This looks SO pretty! BTW, I linked to you red velvet cupcakes entry in my latest entry. Hope you don't mind! ;-)
Sounds much better than the heart shaped boxes containing the gamble chocolate. Or the heart shaped tums candies that taste like antacid. Your recipes sound so much better.
