Well, I warned you that they wouldn't be subtle......!
In the UK, these little fondant covered sponges are called 'fancies' - I imagine this is the original name for them, and it's sweetly old-fashioned and fitting name for a Valentine cake I think.
There were plenty of 'oohs' & 'aahs' when they were unveiled at the Coffee Tree this morning... where they are now displayed on a cream, lace edged cake stand. I made a few extra as people often like to buy one for each of their children for a teatime treat.
Wth love from me....and thanks for reading! xoxo

ReplyDeleteNow, how have I missed this site of yours? Just spotted your gingerbread house. The second one I've seen today! (Hannah of H's Country Kitchen made a Valentine one, and actually, it's inspired me to make an Easter one this year). My festive efforts are always so 'rushed', I'm really going to try harder this Crhistmas!
Happy Valentine's Day to you x
Ahh, your Valentine fancies look so pretty! What a treat for customers at the Coffee Tree this morning! Happy Valentines Day sweetie! Hope you and your Valentine share a lovely evening together! xoxo
ReplyDeleteWOW!! Super wow! Those are so cute and sparkly and I guess the glitter is edible huh. Not sure I've ever seen that tho I must have. Maybe it just looks sparklier on your hearts than in the bottles. I think those should be used in magic ceremonies to attract love. If only I had one! Those will certainly make the day of anyone lucky enough to have one. Great job and completely cupid inspired!
ReplyDeletewow!! These look beautiful :) I'm going to have to spend more time on your blog for sure :) ... I scrolled quickly down and see a few recipes that i actually can make myself lol
ReplyDeleteWonderful job!
