Valentines Tea Party ~ Galentines ~ Baking, Recipes and Treats ~

I know I did a Valentines recipe post yesterday but as I said any reason to bake!!!! Now this is a Galentines post!!!

So we had a little Valentines Day Themed Tea Party and Crafty Day!!!!

I baked some cute mini cupcakes! Using the Odlums recipe here, but I added some red food colouring to make them "Valentinesy"

Ingredients

125g/4oz Odlums Self Raising Flour

125g/4oz Butter or Margarine  (room temperature)

125g/4oz Caster Sugar

2 Eggs (room temperature)

Few Drops Vanilla Essence

Just mix all your ingredients together
Fill your (mini red polka dot/valentines) cupcake cases
Bake in a preheated oven at 160C for 12 minutes or until a skewer comes out clean.

Icing

I iced these more like fairy cakes or buns using icing sugar and a tiny drop of water and food colouring. I topped them with some pink sugar on the white ones and "Love Heart" sweets on the pink ones!

I was looking for some Valentines biscuits so I choose Jammy Dodgers as they have hearts on them! Some Mikado as they are pink and some Chocolate Digestives as everyone loves chocolate! We had a box of Family Circle too and some Celebrations!

While in Tesco I picked up these cute love heart napkins for €1.50!!

We had a great day opening our exhibition, crafting, eating cakes and biscuits and drinking tea!!!

Hope you have a great Valentines however and with whoever you spend it!!!
