I've had a lot of fun writing in royal icing lately. Maybe too much fun. Definitely too silly, too pink, but not rated above PG-13.
Hundreds of naked chocolate heart cookies have passed under my hands, only to become announcements for a holiday best suited for those with less tender hearts than mine.
After a few hundred 'i love you's' in a myriad of languages, after looking intently at the six inches below my nose, after trying to get words to fit, legibly, on no more than a small hand's-width of chocolatey canvas, I wasn't so sure I loved love after all.
{Love stinks, yeah yeah.}
But I go back tomorrow to return to pink icing, heart molded chocolate cakes, cranberry polka dots and rose petal shortbread perfume wafting from our slow and low deck oven shelves.
Do you have any inspiring sweet nothings I can whisper loudly in edible handwriting?
Any favourite 'sweethearts' sayings?
Less than 20 characters?
Deadline: you have 6 days.
Cheers, ta.

As my son was learning to speak we would say when cuddling him " je t'aime". He reduced this to "je" and so 16 years later that's all we need to say in our family . Also very easy to pipe.

This is funny. All I can think of are cheesy Necco heart sayings. Here are a few:
Let's snog
True Love
Text Me
Love Bug
I'm Yours
Woo hoo!
Hunka Hunka
Sir Snog-a-lot
You'll have to share your best British slang versions.

one of our favorites is "I love you more than salt." it's from a fairy tale. have you heard of it? that might not fit on a cookie. but if you could fit it on one, i'd buy it!

thanks. I forgot to note, "sinta" roughly translate to lover or darling/sweetheart. "ko" means mine.
=D

No pressure or anything but just know that you will be responsible for my jumping off the Golden Gate Bridge if you don't call me on Valentine's Day.

Hi Shuna,
This is one is a bit of a double entendre' but I thought it was cute and the phrase is kind of catching on around here.
"Get your heart on"
Have a great day!
Posted by: Vivian Boroff | 12 February 2009 at 02:13 PM
Saw a cute one on another blog somewhere: "Radish Me"
Posted by: Lynn D. | 12 February 2009 at 08:37 PM
How about "eat me", works for those single or in a relationship. I'm smiling, a bit of naughtiness can make the day oh so fun, for everyone.
