Valentine's Day is right around the corner...8 days to go! I purchased heart sparklers from Jilly Bean Kids a few weeks ago & thought they would be cute in cupcakes. I gave 2 away in my Sweet Valentine Giveway & then gave the rest to our friend's teenage daughter. She thought they were "cool".
It's been a while since I've used a sparkler so I had Juls assist me in
getting it started - (yes I'm a chicken)
For some reason I thought the whole thing would be a
sparkler at once
Have you tried my favorite buttercream recipe? I use it exclusively, even to decorate with. I don't even have crisco in the house... it can be done in all BUTTER despite what Wilton teachers tell you :) I've had this recipe stand up in high temps of 85, in the sunshine with no melting... it works perfectly.
