It’s been an exhaustingly busy week for me, and I haven’t had a chance to make a Valentine’s Day dessert yet…but I think I know what I’ll be making! In the meantime, here are some of my other chocolate-y themed desserts that I considered entering in the contest, and that you might consider making for someone special:) Have a good weekend!

Anita- Congrats on making it to the top 10! Your recipe is awesome! Good luck! 😉
Hi,
Love your posting on Tastespotting of the little cupcake – sweet & pretty! I know what you mean about Valentine’s Day and to think it is next week. I have not done anything as well.
Like you I am a professional PASTRY CHEF (I was educated at Peter Kump’s School in Brooklyn, NY).
Because I am a PASTRY CHEF I simply adore your cupcakes of love. I am going to make them for “Big Bear” (his picture is on my website) because Valentine’s Day and our anniversary are so close, Big Bear and I celebrate our VALIVERSARY!
Our anniversary is celebrated on the day that he first let me . . . well, you know (that’s why he drooled on his shirt in the photograph).
HEY! Thanks for the idea. I know “Big Bear” will be drooling again soon.
Wow, those are some serious chocolate delights! Absolutely outstanding. Your photos are gorgeous! I’m not sure what one I’ll be making first. Nice work!
too much chocolate decadence in one post – I voted! :0)
Every time I come back to your site the desserts, photos and simply the breadth of information, keep getting better and better. You rock!
PS – Flemmings Choc Trio kills!
OMG, now I’m craving one of those delicious treats! All your recipes are awesome and highly tempting! I love chocolate in baked goods…
Cheers,
Rosa
