You are my Sunshine, My only sunshine

Well, fans of Harmony, this post will be short and sweet. It is 60 degrees and sunny with a high of 67 today, so Z-man and I have been out walking this morning enjoying the weather.

The kids are back in school so I am going to open the windows and air out the house. This is the perfect day for a little cleaning and organizing. Besides it will keep my mind off of the waiting game that we are playing.

I also need to spend the day deciding what my Valentines day flavors are going to be. I am also working on a cupcake bouquet for folks to give to loved ones. Here are the flavors that I have worked up and tested on folks:

Chocolate covered strawberry ( strawberry cake topped with dark chocolate ganache garnished with strawberry cream cheese frosting and a dark chocolate drizzle)

Amarischino Cherry (named after my prince Amari) - Cherry infused cake with maraschino cherry bits, vanilla butter cream with a cherry on top

Pretty in Pink Strawberry- Strawberry cake, strawberry cream cheese frosting, pink fairy dust

The last 2 are from my existing menu so I decided to feature them for the day of love. If you have any other ideas, drop me a comment.

Enjoy the sunshine while it lasts.

I am out.

What a great way to start out a Monday, the first full week of the new year with 60 degree weather!Claire, those flavors sound wonderful. Maybe I'll get some for our church Valentine dinner. The Pretty in Pink sounds oh so fabulous!

The pretty in pink was my favorite until I created the Over the Rainbow.
Loving the weather...
I am surprised that you could reply at work.
