Valentine's Dessert

This year the bf and I are not having our annual Valentine's Day party.  This is our fifth V-Day together, and the last three have included a big, pink, red, glittery, rose-filled party.  Sadly, tonight I have to go to an event for my thesis, and with all of the work I've been trying to get done, I just am not prepared to host tomorrow night.  Fortunately, the bf and I are spending Saturday night together.  He's cooking, and I'm doing dessert. 

I am planning on:

Chocolate dipped pretzels (and making extra to bring into work on Monday!)


And possibly this amazing cake from here.


And you can even make it pink!  Seriously, go to this website stat for beyond fabulous baking adventures.


Of course these will go fabulously with my favorite cocktail--champagne, St. Germain, and stawberries!


What're your weekend plans?

    Loving the rose cake idea. I read her instructions and she makes it sound and look very easy. I'm planning on serving Ina Gartens Eton Mess on Valentines' Day since we all love it so much but I think I'll try to pipe a cream rose on the top.
    Thanks for the idea.
