Happy Valentine's Day! I couldn't have chosen a more perfect day to celebrate Valentine's Day than on Pink Saturday. Pink Saturday is a wonderful event hosted by Beverly at How Sweet the Sound. In honor of Valentine's Day, pink strawberry mini bundt cakes and fresh strawberries are my contribution to Pink Saturday this week. (I'm quite amazed by my contribution this week, because I don't bake very often, so enjoy this unusual event!)
I saw The Little Baker Fairy at a Hallmark store last year and looked for her whenever I was in the store. I finally decided that she really needed to come home with me a couple of weeks ago. She's part of the Fairies collection by Enesco. The cupcake pots are filled with lip gloss.
In honor of Valentine's Day, I baked little strawberry mini bundt cakes with strawberry frosting.
Oh yummm, they are so good! Murphy, my cocker spaniel, refused to leave the stove while the cakes were there. He "waaa-oooo'd" every so often to remind us that he was still sitting there waiting for some cake! (He wore me down, I gave him a strawberry but not the cake. ☺)
Sweet's for the Sweet!
Have you tried Pillsbury's whipped supreme frosting yet? It is so good, but I used one of Sandra Lee's Semi Homemade tips that made it even better. I put the frosting in a large bowl and added a couple of caps of raspberry flavoring, a cap of vanilla flavoring and some milk. I didn't want thick frosting. I mixed it up and frosted the cakes. It is unbelievably delicious and such a keeper!
I hope you have a wonderful Valentine Weekend!

Sooo PINKO'licious...Ive got these lil cupcake lip gloss in my web boutique. I like adding them to my packages. They're such a *SWEET SURPRISE* I've been craving pound cake bundts. I like to heap a fresh fruit compote to the centers. I'll have to try this frosting. I've added jam to enhance the flavor too.
Come for a visit. I have posted a Napoleon recipe you might enjoy.
Sweet Wishes,
Sara
