The Valentine WOW!

This Valentines Day I decided that my sweet, adorable, hunk of a man needed a break. Men are always under scrutiny to see how great they can "WOW" their sweetheart. So, this year I decided it was my turn to "WOW" him. My very talented and creative friend over at "My Insanity" posted a fun way to celebrate "V" day "Amazing Race" style. So the planning began!
This fun cake (yes, every bit of it is cake) was an idea I took from Bakerella. She has so many fun ideas over there, and it is always a challenge to try her creations, but I have never been disappointed! This was my first experience with fondant, and I must say, it was easier than I thought it would be. But, as you can see, I certainly have a long ways to go. The cake was going to be the prize for the best engagement story, but we all agreed to share it!
I gathered some friends together, and conspired to have some fun with our "Honey's". The clues were all in place and the race was on. While our "Sweethearts" were off on the race, we stayed at our house to make dinner, and create some fun bouquets of candy bars. Dinner was yummy chicken cordon blue with fettuccini alfredo, heart shaped jello, and salad.
You can't have a fun dinner like this without serving an equally fabulous dessert. Thanks to Cori Ann, our menu was topped off with delicious "Better Than Sex Cake"!
Dinner was a hit, but I must tell you about "the race". Stay tuned for more!
