Valentine's Day may be a commercial holiday, and no, you shouldn't need a reason to express how you feel about your loved ones--you should do so every single day just because you are thankful they are there...but, let's be honest, if we have a good excuse to have chocolate or make treats, are we gonna give that up? Nope, not me. I will take any excuse at all to make cupcakes.
That is my thing at the day job, children's baseball games, family gathering or parties--Stacy brings the cupcakes. And sometimes for no reason at all but that a cupcake = smiles and always makes people happy.
These ones are cherry chip with French vanilla icing, mini chocolate chips, and a strawberry Belgian chocolate on top.
The best part about cupcakes is they are easily adaptable for every holiday, every special event, and just to bring colour to a dreary week--a special way to show your special someones how much you care on Valentine's Day...or any day of the year.
And while you are baking/eating yummy cupcakes, why not read a Valentine's story sure to make you smile...
The Apple of His Eye
The
Golden Rule of Friendship: Do not covet thy best friend’s fiancée.
An easy rule for Shane Gallagher to
obey when he meets Eden, as staid and business-minded as his good friend, Brad,
whom she is about to marry . But when she unexpectedly blossoms before his eyes,
temptation takes seed.
Eden is happy with her calculated
marriage plans until she is forced to spend a day with her fiancé’s best
friend—minus her fiancé—and experiences an evening far different from her usual
calm and analytical existence.
On this Valentine's Day, can Shane stay away from the
forbidden fruit? Or will the sweetness and allure prove too much to bear?
And make sure you visit fellow Trans Canada Romance Writers to
