I Swear It's Only Powdered Sugar, Officer...

It's National Flirting Week, minions, and I have a few suggestions for getting the ball rolling with your new crush.

OPTION 1: The Conversation Starter

A semi-interesting factoid with just the right dash of mystery.
Guaranteed to make an impression.

OPTION 2: Get Right To The Point

"You can't HANDLE the truth!"

OPTION 3: Try Something Cute And Funny!

(By the excellent Giggle Girls Cakery)

*wink*

...unless of course your crush works in law enforcement.

Then don't do that.

Thanks to Kelly L., Steven H., & Stacy B. for the not-so-wise crack.

Er, for those of you who prefer chicken and waffles, I found the perfect earrings:

Cutie Patootie Valentine Cakes Just For YOU

Valentine’s Day is this week, and I for one welcome the avalanche of half-off candy that's sure to follow:

(My Cake School, online tutorials)

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?

(White Creme Cakes, Indonesia)

CHECK. 

 "Bee Mine" bees?

(Mann Backt, Germany)

Checkity check!

Roses?

(Made With Love, England)

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:

Or a crafty lil' cupid!

(Cukerlandia, Serbia)

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

(Frosted Fuji Cakes, California)

And of course... LLAMAS:

(Ana's Cake Studio, UK)

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:

(Narine Shahramanyan, Russian Youtube tutorials)

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.)
