Mmmm.

And since I'm a sucker for all things small, sweet, and girly:

 I went looking for the most adorable Valentine’s Sweets to share with you guys!

Yep, I plan to hit ALL the cute cliches.

Snuggly teddy bear?

You better be-LEAVE it.

 (And seriously, the way the two roses are intertwined and pulling the two halves together is stunning. Love it.)

It's not Valentine’s Day without some pastel conversation hearts:

I'm liking all the newer Valentine trends, too, like sprinkled swirly buttercream hearts:

How appropriate: I also have heart eyes right now.

And one final feathered Sweet to remind you you are the buttercream beneath my wings.

 ...Which I realize makes no sense, so I will now distract you with this absolutely gorgeous cake:

OOooOOOooooh.

Happy Valentine’s Week and happy Sunday, everyone! Here's hoping both are extra Sweet.

And one more Valentine’s sweet, because you can never have too many winged heart necklaces:

Angel Wings Heart Necklace

(It was between that and this smaller winged "devil heart", which is painfully cute, ha.)

OK, bakers, last chance: how about a cute little Cookie Monster cake? There's nothing nightmarish or traumatizing about a furry blue muppet who loves cookies, right?

AAAAAAAAAAAAAA

[deep breath]

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

You monsters.

Thanks to Emily F., Julie R., Belinda B., Priscilla R., Tenley H., & CA for giving my subconscious all this new and improved nightmare fuel. ::shudder::

P.S. I just spent 10 minutes looking at cute Cookie Monster dolls to recover, and I found the happiest t-shirt:

Sesame Street's "Me Amazing" shirt

I love the colors!
