ReplyDeleteOMG-Claudia, you have no idea how much you inspired me with those incredible cherries, that our Publix actually carries. What an amazing idea, with the heart shaped brownies, and to keep them heated. The first thing I would do, is to ignite them, so they would give out their super amazing aroma, and for "show"...superb!

What a cute idea for a Valentine's treat!!
ReplyDeleteAll these goodies with that Oregon fruit. I am about ready to go buy several cans after seeing all your recent posts. This one really sings out Valentine's to me. I so wish you had a bakery around here-I would surely stop in for this and bring some friends along once for all to enjoy and then again with my hubby for just us two to enjoy together! That would make for a very delicious way to enjoy Valentine's. Great post Claudia!
ReplyDeleteI just did a comment here, but am wondering if you got it or I was too fast and pressing enter. Anyhow, to sum it up, I like this so much I wish you had a bakery here. I would spend Valentine's day there twice, one with my friends and one with just the hubby. It would be such a delicious way to spend that special day. Awesome creation-I am ready to buy some Oregon fruit now too!
