These are the mint cups that I made for Dustin's Valentine's present. It takes a lot of creativity and problem solving to cook, bake and work with chocolate in our tiny kitchen. I'm used to having my electric mixer, my good chocolate melting bowl and pot, my toothpicks and piping bag. I had to make the filling for these yummy cups twice as I couldn't figure out how to cream the butter and icing sugar together with only a fork. The second batch was amazing, and I got an arm workout! I used a spoon to create the hearts on the tops of the cups instead of my piping bag. It was a really good challenge and makes me realize that I really don't NEED the fancy tools in my kitchen to create beautiful edibles, I just need my creativity. Dustin thought I bought them at the local chocolate shop. He couldn't believe that I made them in our little kitchen. He bought me chocolates from Sweet Delights, the cute little chocolate shop in downtown Cranbrook. The owners are so nice and helpful, and the chocolates are almost as good as mine :).
We wish you much love from friends and loved ones this year and always, and if you are reading this, we must love you too!!!
