Happy Valentine’s Day

No work for me today!

My employer grants employees 8 hours of paid time off to volunteer in the community. I’ll be spreading the love today throughout the town.

I do need to check voicemail and e-mail a few times throughout the day – after all, how will I save the world if I’m not on top of things?

The girls and I baked some cupcakes (red velvet cake) over the weekend.

The “no taste-red”, “pink,” and “burgundy” from our friends at Wilton were used to make them look pretty.

The coloring made them taste pretty bad and the girls would only eat the ones without the food coloring. We used Wilton’s heart shaped edible glitter to make them look awesome. Mission accomplished. They looked good, and the glitter tasted like sugar.

I learned my lesson about pink and coloring through. I’ve used other colors by Wilton in past projects and they tasted great. Can anyone shed some light on why reds and pinks taste so bad? And don’t say it’s because I can’t cook.
