With all of the super cute ideas floating around on
Pinterest related to Valentine’s Day, I thought I would get my crafting self in
gear and make a super cute Valentine gift for Aidyn and Eila’s classmates.
I started out at my favourite store – Dollarama!! There I picked up mini cupcake papers, clear
plastic drinking cups, Valentine themed treat bags, ribbon and small foam
hearts.
The girls and I baked four dozen mini vanilla cupcakes, and
iced them with homemade butter cream icing.
Then I popped each cupcake into a drinking glass, filled my
piping bag with icing and my trusty Wilton 2D tip, and iced, iced, iced. After all of the cupcakes were sufficiently
covered with sugar and sweetness, it was time for more sugar! I sprinkled a
healthy dose of Wilton’s red and pink sugar crystals on top of the cupcakes.
This is where the craft gets time consuming. And makes me
wonder why I didn’t just buy little boxes of smarties and sign the girls’ names
on them. But alas, I had already
started, so I might as well finish off!
I took three rolls of curling ribbon (red, pink and white)
and cut and tied in ten inch sections. I
signed each foam heart “Love Aidyn” or “Love Eila,” punched a hole in the heart
(with my scissors, at this point I was too tired to go look for my single hole
punch), and fed the ribbon through.
Then I enlisted the hubs to help package the 48 cupcake cups
into the treat bags, tied them up with the cute ribbons and hearts and TA
DA! A super cute Valentine’s baking
treat for the kids to bring to school on Tuesday.
