Cha Cha Chocolate

Happy Valentine’s Day!

Here’s a super last minute idea or more likely – an early idea for next year. Just something quick and cute.

And if you don’t need any treats, you might want to mosey on down towards the middle of this post.

I made little heart chocolates. Hi.

IMG_6110

And packaged them up like tiny candy bars. Too cute. And thanks for reading.

This is super easy. You’ll need a candy mold though. The product number is in the photo below if you want to search for it. I found mine at Cake Art. The squares are 1.25 inch.

And because I have a mini candy coating store growing in my kitchen, I decided to use some of it up for these.

Melt pink candy coating and then using a toothpick, draw heart shapes in the cavity of the candy molds. Let it dry and then pour melted chocolate candy coating over the top. Mercken’s is what I used for these. Fill the cavity enough so it reaches the corners without overflowing and then tap the mold on the counter to settle and even out the coating. Repeat with the remaining cavities. Place in the freezer for a few minutes to set and then pop them right out of the mold and place on wax paper. Repeat and repeat until you have what you need.

Of course, you make these even easier and unwrap existing candy bars to use.

Now the fun part. I had these pink foil wrappers that were lonely and waiting to cuddle something. They were really too big for the bars I made so I cut them in half.

Lay the chocolate on the wrapper, fold the two short pieces first and then the long ones.

The foil is super thin so you can press it pretty flat.

These are also fun to wrap up your cake pops if you do simple decorations.

After your bars are all wrapped in foil, you can add paper wrappers.

I created these with different sayings.

Even one for the pinterest lovers out there.

Here’s a pdf if you want it.

IMG_6104

Making your own wrappers is a cute gift or favor idea. Use the same process and create your own wrappers for your theme. You can turn any candy bar into something a little more special.

But now let me tell you why I really made these.

I bought something for myself a few weeks ago that I thought was the cutest thing ever.

Or at least the cutest thing that week.

It was on sale thank goodness. Wanna see?

It goes with the theme so far.

And it’s really what inspired these tiny wrapped chocolate bars.

But this chocolate is a little bit bigger.

And sassier.

The good thing is it won’t melt in my hands.

Check it out. A Cha Cha Chocolate Clutch.

IMG_5896

From Kate Spade.

Loving the label.

IMG_5917

And look at the chocolate candy clasp.

I die.

IMG_5926

And the inside lining. So cute.

IMG_5922

It’s pretty big, too. Actually it’s a really big clutch.

IMG_6184

Big enough to carry all my cha cha chocolates.

IMG_5944

Thankfully it has a chain strap, too.

IMG_6163

And yes, I couldn’t help but make little Cha Cha labels. It’s just too much fun to say.

But I haven’t mentioned the best part about this bag. It turns out I didn’t just buy one.

Yep. Right now I have one for each hand and that just looks plain silly.

  1. My husband just went out to buy flowers, but they aren’t for me. We are burying his grandfather this morning, and the valentines flowers are for his grandmother.

  2. Adorable chocolates!

    I have five special valentines. My hubby of almost 14 years and our four little boys. Love them all dearly!

  3. My mother is the most incredible woman. She not only takes care of me during tough times, but she is the first person I want to celebrate god news with. I would be completely lost without her. She deserves a million valentines!

  4. Oh how I wish I had the time to make things like this. And the energy. And the patience. *sigh* I live vicariously through you until that day!

    My Valentine and I will celebrate our 26th anniversary this year and we still make the effort to take care of each other and do for each other every day. I appreciate that man more than I can say and I tell him so often.

  5. My husband and kids are the best thing to happen to me!

  6. Isn’t that adorable! I love the clutch, and the chocolates are to die for. What as sweet treat :)

  7. OMG! I love that clutch! (clutch+chocolate=what could be better?) I love Valentine’s Day, with the pink, hearts, and glitter! It just makes me smile. I am so lucky to have my Knight and my little prince! Those two boys make this mommy really happy. I am just going to have to surprise my boys with these today!

  8. I love my husband. Plain and simple!

  9. My best friend has always been there for me, since we were both in elementary school. Every time I have a breakup, or cry about a boyfriend, he’s there to kiss my forehead and say, “No matter what anyone else says, you’re beautiful and I love you.”
    He lives a couple hours away now, but I still drive up to see him when I can :)

  10. These are so cute. I love how all of your candies/pops/cakes always look professional – but you bring them down to a level that anyone can create! I am a graphic designer, but I dabble in baking, and your website/books have made me love baking more and more. Thank you!

    My husband doesn’t send me flowers on valentines day. It would be sad, but it’s not because he vowed to always send me “just because” flowers instead of holiday flowers so they will always be a surprise. I am truly blessed.

  11. : ) Thank you for having such a wonderful site and a super cute contest! Your site has really helped me though some tough times, with being overseas, military wife. I have shared your site with many military wives in hopes it will assist them as much as it has for me. Thank you so much!!

    Good luck to everyone.

  12. How sweet of you! Thank you.

  13. Oh wow, those chocolates are gorgeous!

    My mom is the best. She works so hard and is the sweetest person I know.

    Happy Valentine’s Day!

  14. Chocolate AND high fashion?!? You’re speaking my language, girl!

    Happy Valentine’s Day to my loving husband, our two gorgeous little boys and our soon-to-make-her-world-debut daughter. We expect her in April and I can’t wait to share my love of chocolate with her! xoxoxoxox

  15. So so SO CUTE! I am completely and totally in love with my husband and daughter. They make me smile 500 times a day!

  16. My husband of 23 years is still my sweat heart its funny how much we think alike and act alike now. Can decently say we are soul mates

  17. To all the loves of my live happy valentine’s day

  18. Such a cute idea – you are amazing! I love and am grateful for my parents. Through every life detail they have been supportive, loving and just amazing and awe-inpsiring. I am forever thankful for them :).

  19. So adorable! Happy Valentines Day!

    I’d like to give a shout out to my mom who’s always there for me and the most amazing mother in the world!

  20. Thanks Bakerella, that V-day post is awesome! I love the personalized chocolates idea, and that clutch is super cute! I gotta give a shout out to my hubby today because he is totally perfect in every way, he take such good care of me, and I’m so excited to spend all my V–days with him!

  21. My 21 year old son has been my special Valentine since the moment I found out I was pregnant. He has a girlfriend now, which is as it should be, but my heart truly didn’t understand what love was until I held him in my arms. I’m 55 and still looking for my one true love. I will never give up, Happy Valentine’s Day!

  22. Cha cha (Charlie) my daughter is the sweetest valentine in the world. She writes all the “good” things about the friend she is giving her valentines to.

  23. My sister is the BEST!

  24. Well my sweetest valentine is my husband!! Married 41 years in February and still loving every minute of our marriage!! He never forgets birthdays, wedding anniversary or Valentines Day!! But its all the other days, that aren’t celebrated, that he remembers!! Love the purse!!

  25. My husband is awesome. I can tell he is making a very specific effort to speak my love language. I love him for that.

  26. I love my husband Ray because he is a terrific father to our four and he inspires me to be a better person.

  27. My special someone is my amazing husband. Such a wonderful husband and father!

    Love the chocolates!!!!

  28. I love so many people – I can’t pick just one. My husband Erik, my mom & dad, my sister & brother, my nephews, my in-laws, even my co-workers (I made them some red velvet cake balls, which were a hit, btw)… they all make my life so special and interesting in so many ways, each and every day.

  29. the chocolates are so pretty :)! finding the mold and wrappers in my country would be hard though!

    still, there’s no special someone but the special people in my life are my family who will always be there for me unconditionally!

  30. Love these!

    My Valentine (my hubby) is in China for work at the moment. I miss him and love him so much. Gonna spend the day giving my 18 month old daughter extra cuddles and kisses today.

  31. My family never forgets me on Valentines Day, and I never forget them!

  32. I have a few valentines today (wink, wink)! My husband of 12 years is my first valentine… he is so loving and patient as we have 5 children I am a returning college student! My kiddos are my second love- their XO’s are so unconditional and I love them to pieces!! Happy Valentine’s Day everyone!

  33. My 2 year old daughter is the light of my life. She brightens my day, everyday. Even when she is doing her terrible two routine.

  34. I adore Kate Spade! I have 3 special valentines. All boys. One is big and handsome, one is 3 and handsome and the other is 1 and, also, handsome. I am a lucky girl to have so many handsome men in my life :)

  35. Happy valentines day !!! And especially to the love of my life my 2 year old son, who melts my heart every time he says “I love you mama…gimme hug” :)

  36. I love my almost 2-year old daughter. Although she is starting to reach the terrible twos, there are some points throughout the day that are too precious for words. The best part of my day is when she puts her arms around me and puts her cheek on mine to snuggle. It’s moments like these that I will never forget.

  37. Wow! Such a cute idea, and so well done (as always)!

    My special Valentine is my soon-to-be Mister. In a couple of months, we’ll be saying the big I DO’s. He’s a super awesome, kind as can be, throttle twisting hooligan, who is my knight in shining armor.

  38. I love my Fiance so very much. This is our first Valentine’s Day together. :) He is my best friend, my heart, my everything.

    I also love you Bakerella for being such a creative inspiration to me.

  39. I love my husband a lot. He has been especially great since our daughter was born 4 weeks ago. He gets up in the night to change her so that I don’t have to get out of bed! It’s marvelous!

  40. Cha Cha Paris

  41. Love this idea. You are so talented. I would not even know where to start to make those labels. Thanks for allowing us to save/use yours.
    My special someone is my family. Without them I would be lost. They make everyday special.

  42. I love this chocolate idea. They look super easy but adorable. I might need to try some out before our Valentine Day Tea Party this afternoon.
    My Special Valentine is my daughter. I fall more in love with this girl every day….

  43. Adorable! My mom is the best valentine I could ask for. This is her first Valentine’s Day without my dad, and she is dealing (at least when we can see) like a champ!

  44. How adorable!!!
    My special ones are my husband (best father, partner, & dish washer ever) and my two girls (so wonderful in so many many different ways, even when they drive nuts. Happy Valentines to you Bakerella!!

  45. This is the cutest thing ever! I love my hubs on this valentine’s day and would love to rock a purse like this to dinner with him.

  46. too cute! my valentines are my three cuddly boys and my husband. their giggles make it worth getting up in the morning.

  47. Very fashionable presentation of a woman’s second best friend (chocolate! lol).

    My husband always tells me how lucky he is to have me as his wife but I have to say that I’m the lucky one. I’ve never had anyone treat me with as much respect and love that he has and continues to do so. He’s my best friend and every day is an adventure with him!

  48. Let just take a breath cause this clutch make die…a purse and chocolate in the same thing!!…

    My Someone Special has to be MY M?M (Mom) when i don´t understand how the Love of God feels my Mom kiss me and hug me and make feel special no matter what i do then I knew it…Mom loves me the way God does.!!!….Thank U Mom!

  49. So many choices! I have to say my grandson Frankie is the sweetest thing. At 21 months old he showers me with hugs and kisses. The little smile on his face when I open the door just makes my heart sing. Then having him crawl in my lap asking for his books so we can read together is just perfect. Happy Valentines Day all. Or should we rename it Happy Chocolate Day!

  50. What a special treat this would be! My daughter is now away at college, but she still calls me all the time just to talk because she knows how much I miss her.

  51. My husband is the best!

  52. every Valentines Day I am so thankful that I never have to spend another one alone, pretending to hate the holiday. I love you babe!

  53. thanks to toi, someone is going to get a sweet gift today!

    my hubs bought me some LiLac chocolate covered pretzels, milk and dark- YUM,

  54. You are insanely creative! I can’t believe you made those cute chocolates and then individually wrapped each one. Wow!
    My special Valentines are my grandkids. They bring love and joy to my life.

  55. I’ve worked for a candy/food broker for 34 year now and to say that I have a thing for candy is an understatement! This clutch is just the cutest thing I have seen in a long time….. I have a special lady that works with me and I would love to have one to give to her. She has worked here almost 38 years and still going strong… She is one of the sweetest, best people in the world and deserves to get something special

  56. my boyfriend is the sweetest! every morning before he leaves for work he sneaks over to my side of the bed and kisses my forehead, which is followed by me waking up just enough to give him a proper kiss goodbye and tell him that i love him. He’s my superchamp <3

  57. I just wanted to say that I love my husband. I love him on any given day, but as he and I will become parents shortly, and he is turning into MUSH, I am more in love with him now, than I ever thought that I could be.

    I love these chocolates and this bag. These chocolates make me want to make them to announce when our baby comes!

  58. My hubby gave me workout clothes for valentines day!

  59. All my valentines (ages 5, 3, and 2) amaze me pretty much every day, but the biggest surprises are coming from my 5-year-old lately, and how much she desires to and enjoys caring for people around her. She loves to surprise everyone in the family with sweet notes, little gifts from around the house, a snack she put together, and is even incredibly helpful with her little brother and sister. It seriously melts my heart to see her be so spontaneously loving!

  60. Adorable chocolates and I love love love the clutch!
    My special someone is my son who is 9. He has taught me so much about love and life!!

  61. I love my husband for many reasons, one of them being the way he loves me and our daughter!

  62. My little munchkin, you make my world even more special every day. I love you kiddo!

  63. The first person who came to mind when I thought of something sweet is my mom, who always has the time to help me mend clothes, talk about life, and give hugs when needed. <3

  64. Love that clutch!

    My old college roommate is my valentine. We’ve seen each other through several boyfriends, several fights, several apartments yet somehow we’ve still managed to remain good friends.

  65. My husband is willing to help with anything I ask and usually helps out cheerfully. He is kind and good. What more could a girl hope for?

  66. Love this clutch, how cute it is!!
    Your candies look amazing too. My Valentines this year are my three girls and my husband.
    Love them all!

  67. Such a darling post! I love chocolate and I lust for that bag! Seriously? How sweet and adorable is that?! I love, love it!
    Happy Valentine’s Day! You are also TOO sweet!

  68. Fantastic idea! I totally love everything about it. The creative candy idea, the purse. My wonderful husband would love the chocolate and my daughter (An 29 year old fashionesta) would love the purse. Ok, Ok I would love both too! Lol!

  69. That is adorable! Although I am happily married with 2 great children, I have to leave a comment about my daddy. What a blessing he is in my life. He lost the love of his life in 2009 and is trying to be strong. He misses my mom everyday and I learn so much about love from him. The way he misses her shows me the love they had. I love my daddy!

  70. OMG! Love Love this clutch! My niece is a huge chocolate and purse fan. She would love this! She also is in her second year of grad school. Which she is working to pay for herself along with her four years of college and keeping a 4.0 average. I have a 6 year old daugther and she adores her cousin for all the right reasons. She is not only beautiful but compasionate, smart, hard working and as sweet as chocolate! We just love her and would love to treat her to that sweet little treat! ……….Love your website. Thanks for all the inspirations.

  71. I love the ideas that you come up with! I just wish I had the patience and time to make them myself. The Cha Cha clutch is so cute and such creative idea!! The chocolates are adorable. My husband is my someone special! He always knows how to make me feel special and I cherish having him in my life. He is my best friend as well as my husband and I feel very fortunate and lucky to have him as my partner in life. I couldn’t live without him!!
    Happy Valentine’s Day!!

  72. I have to say, that clutch is too cute! My sweeties are my boys. My youngest knows just the right thing to say when I need a pick me up!

  73. my amazing husband of 17 years makes every day valentine’s day.
    love him with all of my heart

  74. Love this!!! My valentine is my pup (almost 8) Samson. The excitement he has when I get home makes driving home in traffic totally worth it.

  75. I’m lucky enough to have two Valentines. My sweet, adorable daughter and my handsome husband. Both of them make me laugh and fill my life with joy. :)

  76. I love it! Those are very cute.
    I am especially grateful for my wonderful family this year. I love my little girl and her daddy!

  77. I am LOVING the mini chocolate bars! I absolutely cannot wait to try this – it would be PERFECT for my nieces to take to school for birthdays/parties etc.

    My valentine is my super sweet husband – Valentine’s Day has a special memory for us – it was our first official date 11 years ago – he had been in the friend zone before that. While we don’t shower each other with lavish gifts on this day, I will forever remember the butterflies of that first date, realizing that this boy was something special, and someone I needed to cherish! I am so thankful for the friendship we built because I believe that was the foundation for a beautiful marriage. We celebrate our 7th wedding anniversary this year and I cannot imagine my life without him.

  78. Adorable clutch, adorable chocolates!!!!
    Happy Valentines Day. I hope you all get treated as sweetly as my mister treats me everyday. xoxox

  79. My husband, Steve, is so wonderful. After nearly 21 years of marriage, he still doesn’t need Valentine’s Day to tell me how much he cares — he tells me ALL the time! How lucky am I???

  80. The chocolates are adorable….Happy Valentines Day ! Kate Spade is the bomb…..!

  81. I have 6 little grandchildren who have all stolen my heart ! I had fun making up each one a valentine and sent them in the mail.

  82. I am a single girl, and even though I’ve loved being single for quite some years, I’m ready to ran into the love of my life / prince charming / the perfect guy any time! No seriously, I love all the fantastic people around me and I feel blessed with all the love I am receiving from my family and friends, things I like to do, my good health and the small things in life that are such a luxury (like chocolate and purses).

    x. Maria.

  83. Something sweet…Chocolate is sweet, so is jelly beans and cinnamon hearts! But the sweetest of all is my hunny, the chef. Who will be working tonight to make sure everyone’s valentines day is just as super sweet!

  84. Super cute, Angie! My marriage ended a few months ago so after 14 years with that Valentine, I now declare my “just turned 5 yesterday” sweet son my FOREVER valentine. <3

  85. I have 3 very special loves- my hubby, my daughter, and my son. Couldn’t get through my days without them.

  86. Wow, this is a great idea! Wonder if I am brave enough to attempt it for my sister’s bridal shower?

    Anywho, my love, my husband, demonstrated just how self sacrificing he is this last weekend. Despite dealing with a hormonal wife, a puking 3 year old, and busy schedule, he takes it all in stride and manages to remain his calm, collected self. God knew I needed him before I ever knew, and I’m grateful!

  87. My husband is the best valentine. He loves unconditionally. Valentine’s Day is also his birthday.

  88. I love all your ideas but what make this one even more special is I already have all the supplies…including the mold! Can’t wait to try this one.

    Happy Sweetest Day to my two sons…Jamil & Devon. They are my Valentines every day of the year. XOXO

  89. I love my mother. She is the most loving, strong, dedicated woman in my life. She owns her own chocolate business and makes her own candies by hand – she would love this gift!

  90. I am so grateful for my sweetheart – he makes me laugh everyday! This year the card I made him says ” I love you almost as much as chocolate…..”

    Love the chocolates and the purse!
    Thanks for the great giveaway!

  91. The chocolates are adorable! And so is that purse! I’ve actually been stalking it for months. Can I pledge my love to Kate Spade?? I am lucky to be surrounded by a lot of love in my life, but I am so lucky to have such an amazing, supportive and loving husband. I don’t know if I can ever show him how much I love and appreciate him!

  92. Happy Valentine’s Day! It is a great day….my brother just arrived from Afghanistan after serving 6 months! We are so proud of him!

    Thanks for the opportunity! Love this post! :)

  93. I would looooooooove to take that chocolate bag out of your other hand!

  94. You are so full of sweet and fun ideas…happy you are in my world. My sweetheart is you…

  95. I just love my family so much. Every single day, I am amazed that God has blessed me with such a loving, joyful, beautiful family. I am so undeserving of them, and yet they love me unconditionally. I am thankful.

  96. I love that my husband of two months has reminded me every day since that we’re married and I can’t get rid of him :) And that clutch? To die for!!! I almost bought it two weeks ago but couldn’t justify the price and went for more practical rain boots that I desperately needed. Happy Valentine’s Day to you!

  97. *raises hand* I’ve got a hand here! Seriously, I’m joking! :P Thanks for the generous giveaway, Angie! My baby cousin has these large, oh so large long lashed eyes, and this dimples smile that just melts your heart. She doesn’t live here, but that’s probably better for her because I just can’t help pulling her cheeks whenever I see her!

  98. I don’t just have one special person in my live. I have 6,they are my 5 beautiful, wonderful kids. Ages 11, 8, 6, 5 and 6 months. They don’t know it but they have helped me get through some of the hardest and sadest times in my life. Just thinking of them always brings a smile to my face. The 6th person is my partner my soulmate, we share the same birthday and both our families share the same names. He is my rock and I am his! Happy LOVE day everyone.

  99. The chocolates are adorable! cant wait to try making them for my loving parents who are so supportive of me! :D

  100. I got my hubby a watch. It’s a nice watch and way out of his usual comfort range of $20. He also finally bought me yarn. He usually tells me to get it for myself. :)

  101. Love the clutch. LOVE my husband.

  102. I’m spending Valentine’s Day with my husband of six years and our 11 month old baby girl! I love them both so much!

  103. I’m blessed with the most amazing husband. We’ll be married 9 years this year. He brings me so much joy and laughter and love.

  104. I love everything about my husband, especially his calm nature and being such a great dad. Thanks for the opportunity to win such an adorable clutch!

  105. My Valentine is my hubby of 22 years. He is the sweetest and funniest man I know. We go together like chocolate and strawberries!

    I love that you made mini candy bars. I don’t know that I have the patience for such an endeavor, but you make it look so easy and fun!

  106. My boyfriend is always there for me! He knows how to make me smile and always knows the right thing to say. Happy Valentine’s Day!

  107. I know so many sweet people- how do I choose? My mom is the sweetest woman to walk the planet. She goes out of her way to help everyone. She’s always quick with a suggestion or advice. She is the most selfless person I know. We share a love of quilting and having my mom/best friend to do that with is one of life’s greatest gifts.

  108. What a beautiful piece of work! The clutch is cute, too =P My parents might be busy but I love how we make time for each other

  109. i love my husband. he is my rock. and he rocks.

  110. What a sweet giveaway. Thank you. It’s almost as sweet as my hubby. I love this guy. After 23 years he still calls me gorgeous, opens doors and says I love you a lot. He’s a rock!

  111. Your chocolates are adorable! And that clutch is TO DIE FOR!! OMG Love!! Since I don’t have a Valentine of my own, I admire my parents who are celebrating their 35th wedding anniversary this year – they are the perfect example of love :)

  112. My valentine would be content to be in my arms 24 hours a day, and he lets me kiss him a thousand times a day. Of course, he’s only 2 months old. But he keeps my arms busy holding him while our family waits for his Daddy to come home from Afghanistan in April after 2 deployed years away. :)

  113. This would make a perfect birthday present for my best friend, she is totally sassy and sweet which makes her one of the best people I know. I love her for putting up with me since the seventh grade and especially this year for being such an awesome bridesmaid :)

  114. So cute! Today my husband and I are celebrating our last Valentine’s Day as a family of two. next year we’ll have a 7 month old to celebrate with!

  115. My hubby is the sweetest darling ever!! He has angel eyelashes that I like to smother in smooches!

  116. The cutest person I know is my 2-uear-old son, and the one that makes my life wonderful everyday is my amazing husband. So, these chocolates would be the perfect Valentine’s Day gift for both men in my life! And the clutch would be the perfect Valentine’s Day gift for me! :-)

  117. My valentine is my husband. He makes our lives special and still rocks my world.

  118. My hubby endulges me in my cake pop obsession. He never complains when I drag out all of my “stuff”. Love him!

  119. So cute! Love the labels!

    There are so many special people in my life, but my nephew and niece are just the sweetest! I love them so much!

  120. My momma is my favorite valentine every year. We had such a lovely brunch over the weekend, I hope she has a phenomenal day and a great time at the opera with my father tonight!

  121. My best friends are my Valentine’s! They always know how to make my day and how to make me laugh!

  122. My daughter, 11, just made the cutest valentines for each family member. Mine was in the shape of a piano in my favorite color-yellow! This girl is the sweetest thing since chocolate. Happy Valentines Day!

  123. My husband and my daughter are my world. He promised me before we were even engaged that even if we never had much we would always have each other and nothing has ever been more true. Our daughter is the sweetest child and a blessing our life every day. I love them both more than words can express.

  124. My someone special is my husband. He is always there for me and always takes care of me even when it means putting his needs on the back burner. I don’t know what I would do without him.

  125. The clutch is awesome!
    My loved one is at work now, so I’m waiting for him with a huge chocolatey surprise!
    And… well… this gift would be for me (:

  126. That is the cutest gift I’ve seen in a long time! If only I were a millionaire and could afford one for every woman in my life and fill it as you did!

    My valentine is a wonderful guy that came into my life and I was a single mom of 5. He stands by and understands that I squeeze time for him when I can – and sometimes there’s a long wait!

  127. Such a CUTE clutch!!

    This year my valentine’s are my two 2 1/2 year old nephews and my 1 year old niece! We are having our own little Valentine’s Day party while the parents enjoy an evening out. These kids make every day a special day and I couldn’t love them more!

  128. My husband is the best! Just started (literally 2/10/12) my own cottage food cake pop business. My first orders totaled 550 rose cake pops for Valentine’s day. Without his help, I never would have been able to complete such a feat! Love him sooo very much! Happy Valentine’s Day, Bakerella…YOU are my inspiration!

  129. I love the labels on your chocolate bars – so cute! Thankfully, after 12 years I am still sweet on my husband. I just wish he knew the moments that I see him doing something with the kids and I fall in love with him all over again!

  130. My husband, the love of my life is my valentine. I couldn’t be more lucky to find and marry my best friend. When we are together I feel as though the world rotates around us!!! Happy Valentines Day!!!

  131. What an adorable bag!

    My special someone is my husband: on this day 12 years ago he took a chance on me. He searched high and low and spent a ridiculous amount of money to make sure that I had roses on Valentine’s Day. We’ve been together ever since. He has my heart! :)

  132. Haven’t been back to CakeArt in awhile, but might have to get that foil paper! Have that chocolate form already and will have to try my hand at my own designs….so cute – and so is that clutch!!!

  133. I love my husband more and more every day. We met 13 years ago and he still gives me butterflies when I hear his voice!

  134. I LOVE CHOCOLATE and TULIPS!!

    ENjoy your day!

    thanks for an opportunity to WIN BIG!!

  138. Oh my goodness I love it! I have been following you blog for so long and love everything that you do. My love is of course my husband, I know corny but he has been so kind to my mom and dad. You see my dad has brain cancer, and he has addopted my dad as his dad, being ther for him anytime he needs him. It simply amazes me how he can love my parents especially my dad unconditionally. Thanks for the opportunity and thanks for all the wonderful ideas. Hope your doing well also, remember to keep us posted, your virtual friends care about you too!

  139. I have an amazing husband and 2 wonderful little girls but I want to tell you about my mom. She is my best friend now. She never forgets a special day and is always, always thinking about others. I can only hope to have as big of a heart as she does!

  143. My hubbie and I had our first date 11 years ago, we got married 1 year and 2 days after that. So this Feb. 16th is our 10 year anniversary. Both of us are chocolate fiends.

    Thanks for the give away, too !

  145. Adorable! I love how you find inspiration for projects. This year my special Valentines are my two dogs. They love me unconditionally…

  146. My little 87 yr old mama has dementia and Parkinsons disease. The way to get a big smile is to sing and we end every song with CHA CHA CHA!! Only she always says 4 Cha Cha’s! LOL! She is my little Valentine!

  147. I love you Sarah! I am so proud of the beautiful woman you are becoming – inside and out!

  148. My husband works so hard to provide me and our two amazing children! He is in the process of getting his MBA and still manages to find time to help around the house when something needs done! We make such a great team and I’m so thankful to have him in my life!

  149. These choco squares are so inspiring!

  150. Oh, wow! Those chocolates are adorable! And the clutch! I can see how inspiring it is! You’re so creative!

    My valentine is my husband (duh!), but he’s so sweet! Tuesdays are our craft get togethers, and he’s giving up a private V-day and letting me host everyone this week! He even took a day off of work to cook dinner for all of us! He really is the perfect valentine!

  151. These are so precious! I wish I had a candy mold so that I could make them and hand them out to all my friends! My special someone is my dear sweet husband. I am getting ready to leave for a 4 month long internship on the other side of the country and he can’t come with me because of work. And everytime I get scared or worried that I am going to fail or fall apart while I’m there, he pulls me back together and reminds me why I fell in love with him in the first place.

  152. These are great! You take such simply ideas and make them I to elegant designs! Love it!!

  153. This is ADORABLE….I might have to try the chocolates….My husband is my rock. He has not only my heart but every memory with him is something to cherish.

  157. My sweet darling husband is my one and only, my every day Valentine. He is so calm and caring, and his sense of humor makes me laugh on my grouchy days. I love that man!

    My nice for today is all for my two boys who, no matter what it looks like, always tell me that I’m the best baker!!!

  162. I love and am very thankful for 3 wonderful, healthy children. They are my reasons…..

  163. My husband is my rock..I can remember telling him that when I was young and Valentines Day came around, we would exchange cards with classmates probable at age 7 or 8…the most popular girls got the most cards and I may have gotten only 1 or 2…I was so embarrassed…now he always remembers with cards, candy and a small gift. For this and many other reasons I love him.

  164. ooooh, love all your ideas but this is the best! Hope to have the chance to win this!

  165. The someone I love is just as much a dork as I am. I love that we can wake up in the morning, be attracted to one another, and talk about the borg.

  166. I am thankful and very blessed to have my 8 yr old daughter Ella! She is the best Valentine that has come out of a sad marriage. She makes everything in the world seem right and through her I am blessed and surrounded with happiness, cuddles, kisses, courage, the hope to be a better person and also hope that there is someone in the world who deserves me!
    Happy Valentine’s Day!!

  167. I love that my husband works so hard so that I can stay home with our son.

  168. Bakerella I love to check your posts, they have made many special moments in my kitchen.
    My special someone is my husband, he taught me what true unconditional love is. He alowed me to see that a simple moment with a handmade card and a cupcake can be all you need.

  169. I have three sweeties that I love more than life itself; my husband, my daughter, and my son. I am soooo lucky! And thank you for your unending creativity, you always give us new avenues to try, yummy avenues!

  180. I want it I want it I want it!!!!!!! Those Chocolates are great. I am definitely running up to the store for foil wrappers before tonight! Thanks for sharing!

  181. My mom is my Valentine. She would do anything for me and for my sister while receiving little in return. She’s my greatest support system, especially during this period of insanity called college. My mom is amazing, and I love her so much. Plus, she loves purses, so I’d have something to giver to her, even if it pales in comparison to everything she has ever done for me.

  182. What a beautiful clutch!

    My husband is all around awesome and I need to tell him that more often!

  183. Adorable chocolates!

    My special someone is my husband! Today is our 30th Valentine’s Day together! He makes Valentine’s Day everyday of the year!

  184. Oh my – your creativity amazes me! My special valentine is my husband of 25 years. We have been through a lot in 25 years, but I love him as much today as I did then :) Happy Valentines Day Bakerella!!

  185. I call my hubby “sweet-tart”every day of the year! LOVE the purse. :)

  186. the person i love the most is my mother, she has always been there for me and she is sitting beside me right this moment. she doesnt know im doing this, but i hope i win, so that i would give her the cha cha clutch. my mother is the sweetest person imaginable, but she has been ill recently, she had a severe asthma attack, and we didnt know it till late but thanks god the ambulance was right at time.
    my mother did lots of sacrifices for us day by day, putting our good before hers, and i think its her chance to be in the spot light.
    thats why, my mother is my valentine. Everyday.

  187. I love my mom. I’m 14 and I don’t have very much use for a clutch, but maybe my mom….

  188. I started the day with a valentine for my daughter and husband. Next, I’m off to a friend’s and then will be visiting my mother later in the day. I love to share sweetness all day long! Great purse…do the chocolates come with it! :)

  189. My husband is the most supportive man I have ever met. I don’t know where I would be today without him!!!

  190. I love signing on to my computer and seeing a new post from Bakerella waiting for me!! :-)
