I love your heart cut out in particular but can imagine after the icing sets it would be hard to cut (well done on getting in for the heart while you could). Nicely, I think the mint flavours would help me enjoy the sweetness of the icing too, and I am pretty confident Mr Bite would like everything about it.Karihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15887621874869110597noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6742756814967464811.post-18106814420697966722014-02-25T16:13:08.768+11:002014-02-25T16:13:08.768+11:00I was just looking at a bag of candy canes thinkin...I was just looking at a bag of candy canes thinking what on earth I should do with them!
