Kitchen of Love and baby booties

Nothing to do with Valentine but my kitchen was a true Kitchen of Love yesterday night. My first attempt to make decorated cookies... to celebrate my newborn nephew. I've always thought I couldn't do it but to my surprise I really enjoyed myself, in fact I found it relaxing, like when the boys were smaller and we would sit around the table with pencils and drawings, colouring away.. I also made iced cupcakes. (Accidently deleted from my camera, will update with those as soon as I have a copy).
 
Kitchen of Love is an event that is hosted by Chris at Mele Cotte, it celebrates Valentine’s Day and participants are supposed to make something foodie using at least one food/ingredient that's considered an aphrodisiac. An aphrodisiac you say? You can find some info this post. Or, look herehere, or here

Now, I'm fully aware that baby booties, or rather a baby in itself is the perfect anti-aphrodisiac (although technically speaking a baby can be the result of aphrodisiac-induced happenings..).  

So this is just an announcement, I have to get my brain focused on the other side of love now and come up with something tasty. If you like to join you'll have until the 10th to submit your entry to this event! All information can be found here at Kitchen of Love.

  7. What cute cookies! I have a new little nephew in the world, too, and he brings me such joy...even if he is a three hour plane ride away. Hopefully yours is closer.

  9. I wended my way over here from Saffron & Blueberry to find your adorable and perfect baby bootie cookies!

    As far as Valentine's Day is concerned, my brand-spanking new heart-shaped springform tin is waiting patiently. But baking a cake with oysters? Hmmm, must look at that list for other aphrodisiac foods (ooh, he does love ginger).

  10. Thank you all! So nice!
    It took me a while to be pleased with them, as usual I saw all flaws... but in the end I was real happy with how they looked.

    The nurses in the hospital thought they were great and asked which bakery they came from (!yay!).

    Jamie you're too funny, not too fond of oyster cake myself, I need that list too!
