The toddler really surprised me the other day. We were painting with cookie cutters and he knew what a heart shape was. He always surprises me with the words he knows but it has meant Valentine crafts are a little easier to explain.
We’ve been busy preparing for Valentines Day. We’ve already made our own cards with a heart stamp and been baking with vintage Valentine cookie cutters too.
I was recently contacted by MakeBake, who sell all kinds of wonderful sugar craft supplies as well as cake baking and decorating equipment. They were kind enough to send me a Valentines Cookie Stamp which is the simplest way to create valentines patterns on your freshly baked cookies. It was easy to use (the toddler enjoyed it too!) and stamps beautiful patterns and designs onto your cookies. It also came with a handy recipe leaflet although so far we have tried it with our favourite biscuit recipe.
There’s plenty of time to make another batch for Valentine’s Day but the biscuits were yummy and fun to make. I can’t wait to play around with the stamp some more. The Valentines Cookie Stamp costs a reasonable £7.99 and can be found on their website.
Nothing says “I Love You” more than freshly baked cupcakes and cookies on Valentine’s Day! MakeBake have some great products to make your baking really special, from heart shaped cookie moulds, heart shaped chocolate moulds, edible pink heart sprinkles, cupcake toppers and even a fun heart shaped baking pan! Perfect to help you bake and decorate Valentine’s day cookies, cupcakes and cakes like a true professional.
