love day

Happy Valentines Day!
We had a great day today, we got up late (alarm was set for 7:30 pm instead of am....opps) Had a delish breakfast of eggs benedict courtesy of getoffyourbuttandbake.com and went to later church.
After dinner I tried to make these amazing looking cupcakes also from getoffyourbuttandbake, but it is hard to make meruange frosting. I literly tried 3 different frosting recipes before one worked. After all that we decided we like cream cheese frosting better anyways...
Fluffy White Frosting
1 cup white sugar
1/3 cup water
1/4 tsp cream of tartar
2 egg whites
1 tsp vanilla

1. combine water, sugar and cream of tarter in saucepan, heat over medium/high heat until sugar is dissolved and mixture is bubbly. let cool for a little bit
2. in a meduim bowl whip egg whites and vanilla into soft peaks, add sugar syrup slowly while beating until stiff peaks form (usually 5-7 mins)

All in all I am now tired of all this cooking and am reading to cuddle up with my valentine and watch couples retreat!
