Just plain sweet!
I received the best Valentine’s Day card yesterday and it wasn’t even addressed to me.
It was from a sweet, eight-year-old little girl named Ellica and written to her mom.
Let me show you…
Dear Mom
Happy Valentine’s Day! I have a TREAT for U!
Here’s the treat!
Here are some yummies from Bakerella. U can look um up on Bakerella.com.
I love the… You could try to make em too.
Kids are so cute.
I think she’s serious about this, mom. She made a pretty extensive list. You better get baking and pronto.
Oh Ellica … you absolutely made my day. Thank you! And thank you, Teresa, for emailing your daughter’s valentine photos.
Hey Ellica, if you’re reading this … I’m going to send you something, too. Be on the lookout.
That is too cute.

February 15, 2010 03:16 AMHi! I wanted you to know that I linked to you on my blog. I made some cake pops for Valentine’s Day for my Sunday school class and they were a huge hit! So easy and yummy. Thank you so much for the inspiration and I have to say I am excited to look around even more and try other recipes you have.
February 15, 2010 03:23 AMor this is so cute! :D
My 9 year old sister is also starting to get very interested in your blog ;) When she’s on the computer, and thinks nobody is looking, she very slowly googles Bakerella, and looks trough the same cupcakes as she did the day before, and the day before that ;)
That’s probably my fault xD I’m babbling about your blog all the time :) Thank you for getting me into baking! : D

February 15, 2010 08:48 AMThat is just precious! Mom is going to be BUSY! LOL
February 15, 2010 08:52 AMThat is so wonderful for the Mum and for you. Gorgeous and to be treasured forever.
PS I made a batch of Cakepops for our school Bake Sale here in Cheltenham England last week. They were a BIG hit! Will send you some photos if you like. Think I’ve started a craze, have even had to promise a photo tutorial on facebook with links to UK substitute products. Have you trademarked them yet? You should ;-) xx
February 15, 2010 08:56 AMThis is so sweet & she has great taste too.
February 15, 2010 08:58 AMhilarious! Not very subtle, eh?
February 15, 2010 09:01 AMThis is what I call a “keeper”. Tuck it away so you can get it out when you need a lift! :)
February 15, 2010 09:02 AMThanks for all the great comments everyone. Yes, Ellica is a doll! Hope you had a sweet day yesterday.
Bakerella, I had Ellica go to your site this morning and she was amazed. She said, “how did that get on there? Did you put it there?” I had to explain that I sent it to you! :) She LOVED seeing it and is thrilled that you liked it so much!
Happy Monday! Teresa
February 15, 2010 09:11 AMEllica needs to walk on over to my house and we can Bakerella it up…..Great fact about Ellica–she loves veggies too–I hold her solely responsible for my daughter enjoying brocolli! She shoved it in her mouth when they were babies in preschool together. Sweet girl! Sweeter than a cake pop!
February 15, 2010 09:21 AMOmg! That is the cutest thing I have ever seen! I bet that just totally made your day!
February 15, 2010 09:54 AMThat is the cutest thing ever! That made my day and I am sure it made your day also! I love kids… they say the cutest things.
February 15, 2010 10:21 AMMy heart is meltier than a bowl of chocolate in a double boiler.
What a sweet story!
February 15, 2010 10:25 AMthis is adorable haha!
February 15, 2010 10:29 AMAdorable! I think it’s wonderful that you inspire so many people of all ages and lifestyles. I aspire to touch people like you do! Thanks Bakerella!
February 15, 2010 10:43 AMThat is so sweet. I know that it made your day.
February 15, 2010 11:00 AMThat is THE cutest thing!
February 15, 2010 11:40 AMBakerella, our 12yo daughter baked for us for Valentines Day… she it totally besotted with your site! I blogged about it yesterday here http://thescrapbookhouse.wordpress.com/2010/02/15/she-bakes/
February 15, 2010 11:41 AMYou are so inspiring. xx
That is too cute! My 6 year-old boy loves watching cooking shows with me and picking out stuff for me to try. Kids are so fun!
February 15, 2010 11:51 AMThat is too cute! :)
February 15, 2010 11:54 AMAw that is SWEET!
I have a question in regards to the cake pops, I tried to make some this weekend in order to practice becuase I want to make the cupcake pops for my baby shower this weekend, and Thank God I did.
February 15, 2010 12:02 PMThe balls were a mess :( Im not sure why but they were so sticky even after freezing them for over an hour. so once i tried to cover them in chocolate they were all soft n sticky again…I used marthas recepie for the cream cheesee frosting, but did not have the paddle attachment to my electric mixer i used the regular attachment so from the start the frosting was not looking fluffy as she said it should on there…could this have been my mistake?
What can I do different so my pops can come out the way they are supposed to for this weekend? I already have everything to make them as my favors.
Thank you so much for all yor wonderful ideas :)
SWEET! So, can we get the story behind this? Has Ellica been reading your site on her own or was mom a big fan and Ellica made the card knowing mom was a fan? I’m so curious!
February 15, 2010 12:36 PMDear Bestest Baker,
February 15, 2010 12:48 PMWhat a sweet little girl. I bet she could learn to make Bakerella treats too. It’s a great way to spend quality time together in the kitchen.
Love,
Start ‘Em Young in NE
awwwwww. this made my heart happy.
you are too cute, both of you.
February 15, 2010 01:34 PMThat’s so great! And it makes me miss the days when I could hand someone at my house a to-do list and things would happen. Now such lists are just handed to ME! ;)
February 15, 2010 02:04 PMThat’s adorable! How sweet that you got to see the card.
February 15, 2010 02:15 PMOh this is TOO cute. Haha. I am just awing and cracking up – simultaneously.
February 15, 2010 03:01 PMSo sweet – I´ll will tell you even in little Denmark -we have heard of Bakerella. My 4 year old daughter she just loves cake pops.
February 15, 2010 03:31 PMYou are a good inspiration for new ideas.
Keep up the good work!
Love you!!
what a huge compliment to you!
February 15, 2010 03:53 PMThat’s super cute! Kids are so adorable!
February 15, 2010 03:56 PMThat is the sweetest Valentine I have ever seen!
February 15, 2010 04:12 PMAah cute overload!! I like how she lists the recipes by the blog entry title, especially “I have a problem.” LOL! I hope whatever Ellica gets is as sweet as she is! =)
February 15, 2010 05:13 PMOh, sweet Ellica needs a special “Bakerella in the Making” pastry chef’s cap…or cupcake with really cool edible printing on it! :-)
February 15, 2010 06:08 PMOh wow, I have had so much fun reading these comments. Thanks everyone, and yes, Ellica is quite a sweetheart. A bright spot in every day! :)
This has been a great start to my week! Teresa
February 15, 2010 08:33 PMHow sweet! BTW, I introduced someone new to cake pops today. She’d never heard of them. I’m sure she’ll be visiting soon :)
February 15, 2010 09:15 PMWow, a great sweet daughter AND a great sweet grand daughter, I couldn’t be any prouder (grin Grin GRIN) :-) :o) :D
February 15, 2010 09:32 PMOk, this is the cutest thing I have ever seen! Yep, Mom better get busy, LOL.
I may have to send you some pics of my daughter and her friend dipping cake bites, although not too “pretty” if you know what I mean!!! LOL But for Seniors in HS, they look cute!!
February 16, 2010 07:49 AMOh My! Absolutely heartwarming =)
February 16, 2010 09:58 AMThat is so cute and so funny… I wonder how she heard about your blog… she clearly did her research!
February 18, 2010 12:37 AMThat is so cute. I love it!
February 19, 2010 12:13 PMAww, this is pretty much the sweetest thing ever. I’m glad the photos made their way to you!

Unfortunately, with 2 young kids, we usually do not get a chance to see the latest movies before the Oscars! Thank goodness for movie rentals! Based on what I’ve seen or read, here are my choices….
