Cookies with Romantic verses for Valentine's Day

Something about the pastel colors that make these cookies more sweet, I guess, but Valentines Day is mostly just a fun day to indulge! These were fun to make, we have a whole list of verses at the bakery, can't wait to start baking them for Valentine's Day!

Conversation Heart Cookies for anti-Valentine's Day

All in good humor, I know that there are those who really don't like Valentine's Day. Well, I wouldn't either if I was heartbroken. This is a tasty way to laugh it off, we asked everyone to come up with "break up " verses, the list is actually longer that the "romantic" list, and seems to be more fun. I guess we all need to laugh at ourselves sometimes. Hmmm, well, the cookies are all good and they all taste the same!

A wintery day in Pittsburgh

 

Looks lonely out there in the parking lot, everyone has gone home to beat the snow on this day. There will be plenty of time to bake tomorrow getting ready for Valentine's Day shipments of cookies and brownies.

Wintery Day

 

Cold Wintery Day at Country Cupboard Cookies

The small sign below our company sign in the window says "Go Pens" another favorite team in Pittsburgh! Now that football season is over, I'll have more energy to think of hockey and watch a few games.

Cookie Art for Your Valentine Creative and Delicious

These cookie art designs were done for us by our daughter, Lori Wittig. She now works in advertising in Dallas, so we miss her at the bakery, but she's still able to send us a few of her ideas when she has the time. These edible images are really works of art, and the buttery, sugar cookie piped with icings in pink and red makes them perfect gifts for Valentine's Day. They are available either alone as a collection or with freshly baked assorted cookies. http://www.countrycupboardcookies.com/

Valentine's Day Cookies for Delivery!

Valentine's Day is my favorite holiday at the bakery. I wish I could enjoy the Christmas season more, but it's so busy that all I can do is really concentrate on the details of the the orders. Valentine's Day however is a short season for us, maybe 2 weeks of preparation, then 1 week of shipping. The colors are simple, red & white, although we've added chocolate brown, gold and cream this year, and who doesn't love pink frosted sugary heart cookies? People and companies have "lists" at Christmas, at Valentine's Day there really are just special friends and loved ones to indulge. It's a great way to warm up the cold wintery season here in Pittsburgh, especially after this weeks ice and snow and slush. ( and even thunder one day, yes, it really did thunder in the middle of an ice storm. )
We have so many new yummy items this year for Valentine's Day to offer, I can't wait to start baking , the boxes are here and the ribbons are beautiful. I hope some people will try our new signature chocolate brown , cream & gold box of cookies shown here, it's a change from the red & white, but will also include pink hearts and assorted homestyle cookies such as super chocolate chunk, snickerdoodle, white chocolate macadamia nut and double chocolate cherry cookies. Visit our online store for more ideas and to order. http://www.countrycupboardcookies.com/ For now, I have to go get ready for the Super Bowl Game !!! Go Steelers!
