Happy belated Valentines Day...

Or my favourite day...the day after Valentines Day when all the candy and chocolates and cake decorating stuff goes 50-75% off! haha

I'm not a person that particularly cares about Valentines Day, but it is fun for the kids when they get to have little parties in the classroom and have treats... ie it's not a bad day for me because I usually end up helping my sister come up with something for her class. Her school was handing out Candy Grams, but a couple of her friends have a red dye allergy, so she wasn't able to buy anything for them and felt pretty bad about it. We came up with something for them too!

When she came home upset about the candy grams, we decided that we would make them our own candy gram! I've got tons of candy molds and some I haven't used, but were perfect for Valentines Day for sure! Megan got to choose which one to use and I helped her do them. Here's the final product...

Of course neither of the girls did the Challenge because they "didn't want to have their face online"...yet they have facebook with a million pictures of themselves on there...and the other just wanted to eat hers...Darn 12 year olds. (yes, I'm peeved about it...I thought it would've been a cute idea). So I made an extra one and did it myself, then once the girls (my sister and her friend) saw me doing it they wanted to. So here they are

Then we made a batch of mini cupcakes, which really surprised me as to how many I was able to get out of the mix. I think we made about 50 total...that's a lot of cupcakes! I had so many left over that I was able to take some into the ladies I work with. They were all really excited about it...yet we work in a bakery...Really?! haha!

Of course, I didn't have any decorations, so I ended up going to the Bulk Barn before hand so we had a ton of decorations to put on them.
