Little Rose Cupcakes

Some say love... it is a river... 

We sang "The Rose" by Bette Midler when I was in elementary school choir. Coincidentally, years later we also sang "Wind Beneath My Wings." Beaches is a sad movie. I haven't seen it in so long-- might be time to rent it again! I wonder if Rich would watch it with me?? Doubtful.

Now every time I make a fondant rose I think of the song "The Rose." 

Pictured here: dark chocolate Coco Cake cupcakes with vanilla buttercream, adorned with pink roses, bright green leaves and mini red hearts for a Valentines Day Brunch! Posing with the cupcakes is the Valentines day card I got for Rich, an ADORABLE letterpress card from Dutch Door Press!
