Be my Valentine!

Happy Valentine's Day

"Be my Valentine 2012"

Few years ago, I decided to create something special on valentine's day. I decided that I would like to do that every year and called them "Be my Valentine". I did not have a valentine, so I thought I would do something special for the people around me. I just wanted to make something special that can represent my love and thoughts for them.

Before I show you what I did in the previous years. I want to show you what I created this year. It was a heart made with profiteroles. I wrote love all over it and painted them with gold and silver. To finish it off, I sprinkled it with red glitters. Those profiteroles were filled with homemade custard cream. I can tell you, everyone was filled with love!! Who wants to "be my valentine" LOL???


"Be my Valentine 2011"

This cake was inspired by the traditional "gateau concorde". This is basically made out of layers of chocolate meringue. I filled it with chocolate cream and fresh strawberries. The acidity of the strawberries just cut nicely through the bitterness of the dark chocolate and the sweetness from the meringue. "c'est delicieux"


"Be my Valentine 2010"

This looks quite amateur compared to the other two... well this was made about 2 years ago... so when I eventually find my special one, it will be perfect ^O^
