HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY EVERYONE!

If you have seen my FB posts, I've been saying I bought some really nice stuff in preparation for Valentine's Day! My favorite shops to get baking stuff are Phoon Huat and Daiso! Well, I mainly visit Phoon Huat for ingredients and hard to find toppers and boxes! & Daiso for really nice wrappers and ribbons!

I decided to get 10 small cake boxes which fitted 2 cupcakes perfectly, for my poly friends who went to University with me! They've really been a joy and I really look forward to school whenever I think of them! Decided to make chocolate and vanilla cupcakes with white and pink icing respectively!



So, I got those edible rose flowers cos they were just too pretty! I sprinkled some red fairy dust on the icing and just placed the rose on top!


I used chocolate to pipe an "XO" on top of the pink icing!!


As usual, I'll always print a card and stick it onto the cake box!


Here are the 2 cupcakes in the box!


And so, my poly-uni friends were settled, which left me with my University classmates and my clique which I was meeting on Valentine's day itself! So, i thought about it and it'd be really crazy to make over 60 boxes of cupcakes for everyone! (With never ending projects, assignments and homework!) I decided to make cookies for everyone than! It was faster, and I am able to make many many cookies in one batch! I made my signature cinnamon cookies (sadly, I didn't manage to get a photo!)and I wanted to make chocolate chip cookies, but I ran out of chocolate chips, so I made chocolate ones instead.


I bought such cute cupcake wrappers (to store the cookies and some boxes of cupcakes) and ribbons from Daiso! Everything there is just $2!


The blue and pink ones were for my cliqe, blue of the boys, and pink for the girls!


My best friend and her gf!


Sadly, I didn't take photos of everyone in the clique, but here are the boys!


I also printed stickers to be pasted on the wrappers! That's about 44 packets of cookies for my class!



Also in class, my friend Yuyi bought us a VERY HUGE COOKIE for Valentine's Day!


Can't wait for the next occasion to bake bake bake!
