I thought the cakes looked yummy, but these treats have me drooling even more! All of them look amazing, but I’m wishing I had one of those cheesecake milkshakes right this minute!
Doesn’t that milkshake seriously look DELISH?!? Think I’m going to make some for our Family V-Day dinner. Have a great day, Kara! 🙂
I’ve been trying to come up with some simple homemade gift ideas for Valentine’s Day, and I’m loving the 2 ingredient Strawberry Fudge! Doesn’t get much simpler than that!
I know. Anything with 2 ingredients that looks that good is my kind of recipe!! 🙂
They’re all so beautiful!
Aren’t they?! I was seriously so hungry as I wrote the post. Have a great weekend. 🙂
Wow, these look delicious – great round-up! One thing… the second link for the heart cupcakes is incorrect. I did a bit of searching and it should be http://madewithloveby.me/2011/03/how-to-bake-a-heart-into-your-cupcakes/.
Love the simplicity of recipes, yet tasty…thank you!!
