Valentine's Day

Ahh Valentine's Day! All the chocolate and present preparing for this beautiful day!

On the Tuesday before Feb 14, I started making chocolate truffles for my wonderful boyfriend! I made an assorted bunch, which consisted of chocolate hazelnut, basic, toffee, white chocolate pistachio, hazelnut praline chocolate truffles.


(Toffee Truffle)

A few days later, I was done with the chocolates and I packaged them up as prettily as I could, wrapped them up and put them in the fridge.


(Crunchy Nut Truffles and White Chocolate Pistachio Truffles)


During my chocolate making, when I had the time (as the chocolate had to harden slightly before I could mould them) I went to the local custom framing place (Prima Art).

As my boyfriend told me he wanted one of the prints I made of Nina's hearts design, I decided to get it nicely framed to put up on his wall once he moves out.



Also, last year for his birthday, I blew up 231 balloons (one for each day I had known him) and filled his room with them. Up to the 10th of Feb, they had stayed in his room, deflating ever so slowly. Finally, we popped them (he is VERY scared of the sound balloons make when they pop, so this process was hilarious!) and I took them to my place. I stuck all of them onto a canvas and got them framed as well.
