Edible Valentines . Good Eats

January 26, 2015 separator DIY Tutorial

Good morning, and happy Monday! I’m dredging a tutorial up from the archives for this snowy morning because my weekend was just way too busy to dream up something new and exciting just yet!I love the idea of sweet, edible Valentine’s Day gifts, but I don’t even have kids yet, and I can already understand how it might be kind of a nightmare to have to come up with 30 adorable Valentine’s Day treats that nobody else in the class has… That’s why I like the idea of “halfway homemade.” I’m working with Rich’s on their Bakery Because campaign because I love the idea of taking some of the pressure off ourselves when it comes to gifting. You can gift freshly-baked (by someone else) treats packaged up as perfect little Valentines – or even as little “just because” treats! You can pick something up from your the bakery while grocery shopping, combine it with a few cute items you might already have, and voila!

In the interest of keepin’ it real with you guys, this post was sponsored by Rich’s for their Bakery Because campaign. I was paid for my participation, but all project ideas and content and are entirely unbiased and entirely my own.

Andrei and I aren’t too big on Valentine’s Day celebration or gifting. We usually just do a card and something small and sentimental.  This is our first married V Day, so I wanted to do something cutesy but still not over the top. We love to surprise each other with little things here and there, so I wanted to do something I could hide all over the house and car… He’s pretty much nuts about brownies, so I picked up a box of petite* brownie bites from the Kroger bakery. They’re soft, chewy, and take about three bites apiece – perfect for a midafternoon snack.
*I’m pretty sure they just call them petite so that we don’t feel as bad downing half a box…

Edible Valentine’s Day Treats

1.   I used a tiny dab of peanut butter to affix a conversation heart to the front of one brownie bite to give it a cute little holiday touch.
2.   After folding out an individual cake pop (not truffle) box that I picked up at Michael’s, I slid two brownie bites in the box back-to-back with the top of the brownie facing the window so that you can see the little heart.
You guys know I love to go a little over the top with packaging, but I did keep these relatively simple since they were for Andrei and not my girlfriends or a classroom full of kiddos…
3.   I stamped and embossed manila shipping tags with a cute little sentiment and swapped out the string that comes with the tags for some pretty grey striped baker’s twine.
4.   I affixed the tags to the boxes by tape the twine with some pretty floral washi tape. The washi tape served another purpose, too: since it’s a cake pop box, there’s a hole in the top for the stick, which we obviously don’t need for this project. The tape covered the hole right up!

  2. Ein deutscher Personalausweis ist eine blaue Plastikkarte, die Ihre Staatsbürgerschaft und Ihr Alter nachweist. Es ist 15 Jahre gültig und kann als Reisedokument für die Ein- und Ausreise verwendet werden. Wer in Deutschland geboren ist, wird nach vierjährigem Aufenthalt deutscher Staatsbürger. Die Bürger haben auch das Recht zu wählen und für öffentliche Ämter zu kandidieren.

    Erstens wird jeder in Deutschland Geborene nach vierjährigem Aufenthalt Staatsbürger. Um Staatsbürger zu werden, müssen Sie zum Zeitpunkt der Personalausweisbeantragung mindestens vier Jahre in Deutschland gelebt haben. Während Sie auf die Beantragung Ihres Personalausweises warten, müssen Sie weder eine Arbeit noch ein Einkommen haben. Es ist jedoch am besten, eine Adresse zu haben, bevor Sie sich bewerben, wenn Sie möchten, dass Ihre Bewerbung schnell bearbeitet wird. Postalische Bewerbungen ohne Adresse nimmt die deutsche Polizei nicht an. Außerdem müssen Sie bei der Beantragung Ihres Personalausweises Ihren Namen, Ihre Nationalität, Ihr Alter und Ihren Geburtsort nachweisen.

  3. The person in my life who makes every day special for me likely has little to no idea I feel this way. After a decade relationship ended I’ve remained single for 5 years this week and although quite content with those years learning and growing and loving the me I’m becoming, this man is one who has opened my heart. I know love can hurt in its general nature of intensity. He is strong, independent, inspiring, creative beyond words, open about who he is, knows what he wants in life and works daily to reach his goals. He confides in me and trusts me and I him. We laugh sooo much together and have more in common than I may have ever with another. He is thoughtful and we have been friends for a while and become closer every day. We have shared few intimate moments and talks in that respect but our lives separately are so busy and exhausting. Our dogs play often and we live and work close so many times a week we meet and chat and are in touch everyday. I’m smitten and such little experience dating or sharing feelings of love I’ve embraced the way things are and have hope and faith a future in love will come if it’s supposed to. This is a game changer for me- having him in my life. We are connected and this is why everyday is so much more beautiful having such a positive, lovely person to share happiness with on any level.

    My family are the people who truly make my life special. They are always there for me, and love me even when I’m not at my best. They each help me to want to be a better person, and they make me feel special by letting me know that I am loved. And it also makes me feel special to be able to return the favor and love them right back! I am grateful for my family, and all that they do. msmissy02 at gmail dot com

  5. My sister makes my life special! We talk on a daily basis and have gotten super close as we’ve grown older. I have lived in my house for the past year but have been too overwhelmed with all my decorating options – my sister offered to be my ‘interior decorator’ and she’s been having a blast shopping for my house. She even came and built a table I had delivered from Target on her lunch at work! She’s a great sister

  6. The person who makes my life complete is my son. He has an amazing attitude toward achievement and accomplishment. Although he is a HUGE learning disorder, he was ready for college in all areas according to his ACT score. He began college this fall and has met with great success. He is truly an inspiration to me and to others. He gives me the warm fuzzies. I cherish the times he is home and about.
