Queen of Hearts

What do you do to show the one you love just how much you love them? I certainly don't wait until Valentines day, one specific day of the year to show the ones I love just that I do. And how do I do that you might ask? Baked goods baby!


This Valentines I was inspired most by two things, the upcoming opening of Tim Burton's Alice in Wonderland and the 2006 Summer issue of Donna Hay Magazine. This issue inspired me to bake when I was studying abroad in Australia in 2006 and still is the most inspirational magazine for the baker in me. Everything from the recipes, the themes and most importantly the food photography. Check it out sometime. Now you ask what these two have in common? Well, I did my best to recreate it and hopefully I did Donna Hay justice. Let the pictures roll.
