Last night I decided to be vaguely festive and decorated some cupcakes for Valentine's Day. The X&O's made with Smarties were really easy since they didn't need sorting as even Smarties are sold in holiday colours now. For the mini versions I just dropped a single Smartie on top most of them but a special few were doused in coloured sugar.
I've never been a big Valentine's Day person - it always strikes me as even more highly commercialized then most holidays. However having a treat to give out is without fail more enjoyable than being a curmudgeon so I decided to participate this year. My mother used to make us little heart shaped pancakes which were always fun but not quite as easy to share as a cupcake.
