Love is in the Air

"What's in a name? That which we call a rose
By any other name would smell as sweet."
- Shakespeare

As Valentine's Day approaches, it is hard not to jump on the cupid bandwagon. Inspiration is EVERYWHERE and I do mean everywhere. Shopping centers, grocery stores, even my mailman is rocking a "Kiss Me" button.

As I celebrate my first Valentine's Day as a newlywed, I am finding that I'm inspired more with non-traditional roses in the form of food, than actual roses and candies that typically take center stage.

Take a peek:

There's the oh, so fabulous rose cake by http://www.iambaker.typepad.com/

These decadent meringue topped cupcakes via Martha Stewart Weddings.

Or a fun little twist on giving roses for Valentine's Day, as seen on Meganscookin.com.

(The cake in the flowerpot is edible, the flowers are not)

Maybe I'm just hungry. And maybe now you are too?

However you chose to celebrate, may your day be red and rosey and I hope you'll share pictures because I am quite nosey.
