Happy Valentines Day! :)

I just want to start off by saying Happy Valentines Day to everyone! :) I hope y'all had a good day. Today was just like any other day for me. No valentine, but I'm okay with that. I hungout with my best friend and his boyfriend today, and let me just say that I am definitely SO jealous of the gift he got today. He got a pair of black JC Litas. A lot of people don't like them because they're too 'hipster', but I am absolutely head over heels for them. I took a vow that I WILL get my own pair just in time for prom. We went to Applebees for a bit and had a nice dinner, and now I'm home with the babies sipping on my nightly cup of green tea.

Last night I made cupcakes for my vocational class. I tried a new recipe that I found on the Wilton website. They're Pink Lemonade cupcakes with strawberry frosting and buttercream roses. They were delicious!

(Sorry for the crap quality)

Cake

• 1 package white cake mix
• 1 small package vanilla instant pudding
• 3 Tbsp sweetened pink lemonade drink mix (like Country Time Pink Lemonade mix)
• 1 cup sour cream
• 2 tsp lemon zest
• 3/4 cup water
• 3/4 cup oil
• 4 whites eggs (save the yolks for tomorrows recipe)
• 6 drops of pink food coloring

You can use whatever frosting you want, I chose to use strawberry. This was my first time making buttercream roses, and I was pretty proud of myself. The first rose looked really good and was easy, and then everything went down hill from there. I feel like the buttercream frosting that I made wasn't thick enough and that's why the frosting kept melting, which is probably why they kept falling apart. I watched tons of videos on Youtube on how to make the perfect rose. Hopefully next time they'll turn out better.

Fortunately, I have a four day week this week for school. I am so looking forward to this much needed four day weekend. Hopefully I'll be hanging out with some old friends, but for now I think it's time for a relaxing bubble bath! Goodnight everyone, sweet dreams :) xo
