Fruit Loop Valentine Fun

And here is the most ultra-EASY, 

super kid-loving,

VALENTINE I have EVER "made".  

Fitting now that I think about it, seeing as 

our lives have been a bit LOOPY lately!!

Oh well......as they say....

Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee........   

I'd SNAP at the chance to be your VALENTINE (cookies)

Thank gosh other people have great ideas......

like The Barefoot Baker who gave me this idea 

that I used last year - what fun!!

I made these cookies using her idea

 and tag that can be found here!  

They really made fun Valentines last year.

 

Compared to this, I went ultra EASY this year. 

 

Animal Print Cupcake Toppers ~ WILD for You Valentines Cupcakes

Tonight Sophia invited some friends 

for a "Wild about You"

 Girls Night Valentines Spa Party.

(say that 10 x fast)

INSPIRATION FROM MY CAKE SCHOOL - CLICK HERE!

The little gems are coming over after school for

a few hours and then we are heading

up to this awesome party place called

A Place to Party!

This "place to party" is seriously the neatest

place I have been with Sophia. I have taken her

there a few times with friends here and there for

something to do and it is always a GREAT time.

The woman who owns it, is AMAZING. 

So energetic, fun and NICE!

It's hard to explain but it is like the worlds

BEST tween playroom on steroids x infinity.

Karaoke, Manicures, Shimmer Tattoos, Chocolate Face Masks

Dance Floor, Glow in the Dark Hula Hoops, Music

Jewelry Making, Ice Cream Sundaes 

and of course feathered Boas!

Oh...and about a MILLION other cool things too. 

Sign ME up for a Party!

I made these cupcakes for the girls tonight. 

I was inspired by my FAVORITE

did I say FAVORITE cake decorator/blogger...

Melissa @ My Cake School 

(((((BIG HUG MELISSA))))) 

I have said it 100 times but my membership to My Cake School 

was the BEST MONEY I EVER SPENT!

and was reminded by Sophia how 

amazing they tasted. The original post

They are worth the fuss, that is for sure.

I am BANANAS over you, Valentine ~ Banana Chocolate Malt Shake with Printable

Banana Chocolate Malt Shakes

I would be LYING if I said I had a 

real recipe for this but, truth is, I don't.

I put a couple of questionable bananas in the blender

& heaped in a LOAD of chocolate malt powder, a LOAD.

Next, I sprayed in a LOT of chocolate syrup and 

to stay "healthy" added some SKIM milk.

Then some ice went in and I pushed PUREE' 

 It tasted SO SO SO SO SO GOOD.

Of course drinking it out of these 

shot glasses and dipping our marshies

and eating our chocolates, added the amazing

WOWIE factor to this experience. 

Try it, you will be so glad you did!
