Knotted Headband

Just Some Valentine's Day Treats!

I made some cupcakes for Valentine's Day and here's a few photos to inspire you guys. They turned out a lot better then I expected... I'm obviously an amateur...  I was a little dissapointed with the sweet hearts I'd got since all the messages were either very blurry like the one above or actually printed on the top of the heart. The purple...
