Yes, my wife’s birthday is on Valentine’s Day. This always wrecks things for going out to eat, because all those other annoying couples are out there celebrating a less important occasion.
My wife’s mom bought a cake for her, but forgot to get icing. So, I made some myself:
1 cup confectioners sugar
3 tablespoons butter
1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 teaspoon milk
1. Cream the butter with a mixer, which is challenging because it’s such a small amount.
2. Mix in the vanilla extract and milk, finally, mix in the sugar until it’s combined to form an icing.
3. Scoop it into a piping bag. Or, if you are me, scoop into a plastic bag. Cut a very small portion of the corner out. Enlarge if desired.
4. Carefully write your message to your loved one.
Well… It’s the thought that counts, right?
