No Valentine’s Day without something sweet. Therefor I have made some Valentine’s heart cookies and iced them with rolled fondant.
To get the really deep red that I have used on some of the cookies. I have used a mix of Crystal color’s Poinsetta and Americolor’s Super Red. The mix of powder and gel together works really great and is really worth a try if you have not tried it before.
The pink color is my favourite choice from Sugar Flair.
I have used my alphabet cutter/embosser set from JEM, along with the pretty quilting embosser and a small rose (Wild rose set) from Patchwork Cutters and some royal icing.
I wish you all a sweet Valentine’s Day!
Happy Caking!

First let me say….love you site here!! I’m so inspired when I come here.

I would like to know if you have the recipe for these sugar cookies? I didn’t know if you share the recipes or not? Would love to have a sturdy sugar cookie recipe so I can practice.
Thank you so much.
