I spent my Valentine's day

Making this...........


My friend's daughter is having her birthday party today and asked me to make the cake. She loves shoes and thought I'd make a sugar paste shoe for the top. I'm happy with the way it turned out, considering it was my first try. Thanks to my husband for giving up his Valentine's day to help me roll out all the fondant balls at the bottom. (He actually jumped at the chance to help me because he knew it was either that or clean the bathrooms...guess those will have to wait). What a romantic day we had! :)

We did treat ourselves to a nice romantic dinner at 5 Guys (a hamburger joint in the food court of the mall) and saw the movie "Taken" with some friends. See what I mean when I say we had a romantic day!!

Wow! That's all I can say! You are amazing.

Your Valentine's day actually sounded a little more romantic then ours. We did eat at Meatheads (which I understand is similar to 5 Guys) though!
