    They all look so lovely and beautiful. The red velvet cake looks the best, but perhaps its the black background that is making it all so elegant.

    Gee, so lovely. I particularly like the breakfast idea - the heart shaped "eggs in purgatory". Nice!

    SUCH good ideas! My husband loves red velvet cupcakes and yours look beautiful -- maybe that's the direction I'll go this year. I'm scared, though.... last time I made them (for his bday), I ran out of red food coloring, and they turned into brown velvet cupcakes.... not what you want.
