FabSwingers.com forum: Valentines sweet photo challenge

By (user no longer on site) OP
over a year ago

I have never organized any challenge on fab.

I love cooking and baking, and the chat with one of the fabbers just gave me the idea to create a new thread.

We all love cakes, cookies, desserts.

Some of us can be very talented some not but let's have fun!

Everything you have to do is telling 'I am in' in this thread and publish your Valentines masterpiece (cake, cookies,any dessert) with that theme before Feb 14th.

People will be voting.

Have fun!

Im in of course!

I’ll give it a go. Funny I’ve baked for a few people on here and once left some desserts to a M&G for a few people that used to talk in the Ireland room

Nothing! Be creative! People do not realise until they do not try

It's lots of fun, believe me!

I think its possible. I am not sure if it would be better to create a separate thread with recipes for all the goodies we made or continue in this one... Time will show

OK i am just going to say i will think about it for now. I stopped baking mostly because i will end up eating it all and adding on a few pounds. But if i can find something healthy to bake this might work or something sweet but small portion.

Well I was going to bake a large Chocolate Orange Cointreau Bombé but there's only me and I wouldn't eat it. So I made white chocolate and raspberry scones with the raspberries as a heart though when cooked it looked like a blob. I changed my profile picture to what I have settled with, I made a few of these, they have an orange Cointreau filling, red icing and a chocolate heart for valentines, now where to deliver it mmmm
