Valentine's Day with Coffee-Walnut Cake
It's a treat to have Felix and one of his roommates here for the weekend. And why? Because they eat cake. This time I made a coffee-walnut cake (from Vintage Cakes, of course) and Bella made a cheesecake.
This morning they put on bow ties and suspenders and went out working for my florist friend as flower delivery boys. I'm sure they made a lot of ladies in offices very happy.
Then they dug out the old box of Pokemon cards and taught Daisy to play, and it's like we've travelled back in time to 2001. Apparently Daisy is very fierce with the cards, too.
I gave out Pop-Rocks for Valentine's treats around the house, and the Composer distributed flowers, and everyone is happy.

Well Anna, you would know of course that I had to google "pop rocks". I think that would translate to what we call "sherbet" although what you call sherbet is saline to us. Kind of like biscuits, scones & cookies. :)
Rose, are you saying you eat something called saline? Because here that is the special salt water solution you use to clean your contacts! Pop rocks are little candies that pop and crackle in your mouth. Is that what you came up with?
Oh I remember Pop Rocks from my childhood! They do literally "pop" in your mouth. Where can you still find those?
I'm glad you had a nice day. I'm a sucker for bow ties and suspenders. I've tried, quite unsuccessfully, to get my husband to wear them.
That sounds like a great day. I can only imagine how fun those flower delivery guys much have been!
As I clicked "Comments" I thought to myself - "What are pop rocks?" - and "I have to see if Rose asks what they are". Anna, I learn so much from you. Really. B/North
I had Vintage Cakes out from the library last summer and made that coffee walnut cake for a visit with my Dad. It was so good! I had completely forgotten about it until I saw yours, must revisit that book! Yours looks as lovely as it tastes.
