Bea-utiful cupcakes for your Valentine

Bea's of Bloomsbury always produce some of the prettiest, and tastiest, cupcakes and fortunately their selection for Valentines doesn't disappoint! I love them all, and I'm sure anyone would be happy to receive them as a Valentines gift.

Available in boxes of 6 for £13 or 12 for £25 or as part of their fabulous sounding Love Box with lots of other goodies, including chocolate brownie hearts, further details of which can be found on their site. I know someone that will love a brownie heart so I'll have to pop in pre-valentines to grab a couple.

As much as I like the look of the Valentines selection, I am personally hoping someone will pop in and get me one of their Chinese New Year selection featuring my favourite animal of all time - the panda!!! I don't think I've seen a prettier cupcake ever! MUST get one.

Finally, Bea's are currently running a Cupcakes against Malaria campaign - if you buy 6 cupcakes they send a malaria net to the survivors of the Haiti earthquake. You can read about it on Bea's website and at Againstmalaria.com.

Love is in the air...

The Valentines stock is in store already, but then again in the UK so are blooming Easter eggs!

I cannot wait to go to Williams Sonoma when I get to NY - I shall be buying some cuteness to bring home for sure!

You can make your own heart shaped cupcakes for your love with this really cute heart shaped pan, and then decorate them using the valentines fondant and cutters kit which comes in a set for under $50! Or you can buy some cupcakes from Perfect Endings -

Perfect Endings, Sam Godfrey’s nationally acclaimed boutique bakery in the Napa Valley. The luscious little cakes are prepared from scratch based on recipes from Godfrey’s mentor, his Southern grandmother. Made with fresh eggs, real butter and other premium ingredients, our selection includes three flavors, each topped with a different sugared flower and heart: red velvet, generously swirled with old-fashioned vanilla icing and topped with white sprinkles; rich chocolate, frosted with chocolate ganache and scattered with dark chocolate sprinkles; and chocolate caramel, chocolate cake slathered with chocolate caramel buttercream and crowned with milk chocolate sprinkles. Set of nine, three of each flavor

I heart valentines cupcake goodies :)
