Happy Valentine's Day!

Despite how commercialized today's holiday is and has become, I have always loved Valentine's Day, even when I was single.

We celebrated a day early with a pink velvet cake and pink champagne. I'd been wanting to try red velvet cake for some time now and our go-to bakery had their own updated version, so it was the perfect occasion and excuse for cake. And what a dream it was - carrot cake with pink cream cheese icing. Yummy! Can't wait for some more tonight, along with sushi (most likely).

And in honour of Valentine's Day, I'm giving away this scarf to one lucky person. Just visit the lovely Alicia's blog, right here.
