Cupcakes...The New Wedding Cake
The love of my life is fascinated with cupcakes. She loves them. I love cookies- well anything sweet really. For our wedding, we are considering having a cake and/or cupcakes.
There is a lot to consider: flavors of the cake, fillings, icing/fondant, decorations, etc. Then we have to consider the tastes of our guests- but more importantly our tastes. (LOL) When looking at pictures online, they all just look so good. Plus, we will probably have a destination wedding so then there are the logistics of choosing a bakery. This will be really fun.

Our Valentine's Day
First, we went to the movies. We saw Valentine's Day. We really enjoyed it! I mean really. I liked that the story line had twists and turns that I couldn't figure out. Some were a little predictable-- like the cheating bastard--but there's always one. It's also a gay friendly movie, so I encourage everyone to go see it. Then, we went out to eat.
Where: Emerywood Cafe
What we ate!
Appetizers
Duck Confit Spring Rolls; Served with a duck sweet and sour sauce.
Entrees
Bacon-Wrapped Scallops served over goat cheese and sun-dried tomato risotto, spaghetti zucchini and squash, with BĂ©arnaise sauce.
Crab and Tarragon-Stuffed Red Snapper, served with roasted Yukon potatoes, sauteed tri-color carrots and Hollandaise sauce.
Dessert
Chocolate Mousse with whipped cream and slivered almonds
Chocolate bread pudding
After dinner, we went to Barnes & Noble. It's one of our favorite hangout spots. I had such a great time that I went to sleep around midnight. That's early for me. I hope you had a wonderful day as well. ~Ciao!
