Valentine’s day 2010
Valentine’s day has an affinity with roses, chocolate and poetry. This year at the Lavender Bakery the cupcakes will be moist chocolate cake frosted with chocolate buttercream made with fair trade dark chocolate (or the flavour of your choice).
Your favourite short poem or verse, or your own composition or message can be piped on (up to a maximum of 6 lines). There are some ideas below to get you started. Hand baked and iced cookies are also available, as is the full range of cakes such as the 6″ round chocolate cake in the picture.
All orders will be delivered throughout London on the day that suits you best from Friday 12th to Sunday 14th by our Green courier company. Most London deliveries £10 – £15 depending on postcode. Call on 07507863502 or email to place your order.
O my Luve’s like a red, red rose
That’s newly sprung in June:
O my Luve’s like the melodie
That’s sweetly play’d in tune.
As fair art thou, my bonnie lass,
So deep in luve am I:
And I will luve thee still, my dear,
Till a’ the seas gang dry:
Till a’ the seas gang dry, my dear,
And the rocks melt wi’ the sun;
I will luve thee still, my dear,
While the sands o’ life shall run.
And fare thee weel, my only Luve
And fare thee weel, a while!
And I will come again, my Luve,
Tho’ it were ten thousand mile.
How do I love thee? Let me count the ways.
I love thee to the depth and breadth and height
My soul can reach, when feeling out of sight
For the ends of Being and ideal Grace.
I love thee to the level of everyday’s
Most quiet need, by sun and candlelight.
I love thee freely, as men strive for Right;
I love thee purely, as they turn from Praise.
I love thee with the passion put to use
In my old griefs, and with my childhood’s faith.
I love thee with a love I seemed to lose
With my lost saints,–I love thee with the breath,
Smiles, tears, of all my life!–and, if God choose,
I shall but love thee better after death.
Elizabeth Barrett Browning
Roses are red,
Violets are blue,
Sugar is sweet;
and so are you.
Wedding place name biscuits.
I did these for my own wedding and everyone loved them. I made the ones below last weekend along with cupcakes for a wedding with a thistle theme.
