LOVE it or hate it!

Valentine's day is here!
and you probably guessed, I LOVE IT ;D
if you reading this and you think this is a made up holiday
for stupid people who just need an occasion to spend money, then
you need to bugger off immediately, coz I think you're one of those
stupid people who just hate life. There's no reason to hate any holiday,
it's just a reminder to celebrate, nobody is making you go buy flowers
for your wife, you should anyway...

And since I LOVE it, I spend a good few hours making some awesomely cute fondant covered cookies to mark the occasion!:)
without further ado, here they are!



the recipe I used for the cookies comes from the very talented SugarBelle

I used almond extract, and the cookies turned out amazing, no blisters,kept the shape, and the flavor is just outstanding!

Marshmallow fondant was a bit tricky to work with, but, I think they turned out just fine for my first ever attempt at making it. Here's the recipe I used :

have a lovely, looooooovely ,love-filled Valentine's day!
