GIVEAWAY! Limited Edition St Valentine's Day Cake...

Each year to mark St Valentine's Day, we create an especially romantic cake.  This year"Le Valentin" 2011 is a "Marie-Antoinette" St Honoré - a heart-shaped version of the classic French St Honoré pastry, decorated with romantic pink and red rose petals.


Tous les ans, nous créons un gâteau spécial pour la Saint Valentin, en forme de cœur, en édition limitée, numérotée,  et tout et tout :) 
J'ai eu du mal à choisir sa forme définitive, ayant plus d'idées que de temps pour les réaliser, mais finalement, je me suis mise d'accord avec moi même, IL ÉTAIT TEMPS!!!!! ;-)


It also comes with 3 heart-shaped boards on which to display it - in three shades of pink, so you can choose the one that goes best with your display!


Donc cette année, le Valentin s'est déguisé en "Saint-Honoré Marie-Antoinette", glaçage rose sur les petits choux, chantilly vanillée décorée de pétales de roses, et il est  assorti de 3 petits "napperons" en trois tons de rose, à interchanger suivant l'humeur ou le décor :)


They are only available in a very limited quantity and when they've gone, that's it!


You can find them in the Valentine's section of our Etsy store - click here


Or - you could try to win one...


  It's giveaway time!


Pour en avoir un, ça se passe ici, ou .....là, sur le blog, car c'est à nouveau l'heure du "give-away" de la Saint Valentin....

  76. OOO LA LA! Seriously, if I've every seen anything that made me remember those days in grade school when there was a lovely foil covered box at the front of the classroom, decorated in paper hearts, this is it! And then the excitement in the air when the valentines we had each placed inside that box upon arrival at school that morning were finally handed out. What wonderful memories this invokes for me!
