Cute As A Button Valentine's Day Treats

When I like something, I stay on it. I can't stop thinking about it. I need more of it. Baker's twine, paper straws, candy molds. Sure Michael's has your standard ones, but with the discovery of Home Cake Decorating Supply Co. last year here in Seattle and their ridiculous amount of candy molds that I can't seem to stop buying.

First it was an airplane mold. Then soccer ball suckers, (not the mustache one, though, that's Bake It Pretty), and then I found a button mold, just like this one at Bake It Pretty. And as with the majority of my purchases, there was not a specific reason/party etc. in mind, a just in case/the need to have it purchase.

But, as with the majority of my purchases, the heavens opened and the angels sang when I came across this Valentine's Day printable from 30 Days....and well, you know what came next!Cute As A Button Valentine's Day Treats 2I broke out the candy melts and got to work. Note to self, get another mold, doing it one set at a time took forevah! But you get quite a few on one sheet...

I printed the labels on sticker paper, broke out a few 4" X 6" cello bags and ta da! Instant cuteness! I've a few events coming up these will be perfect for; way too much work for a classroom full of kids, but definitely perfect for a few special friends.

I've also purchased a playing card mold...I'm saving that little nugget for a special post...

  1. What a cute idea! In the hands of a creative crafter like you, "lucky finds" turn into lovely gifts! Another excuse for those just-in-case impulse purchases, right?
