Valentines Red Velvet Cake Popsicles
American, Dessert
This is the first time ever I've tried my hands on cake popsicles. Never knew how incredibly uncomplicated it is and you can have so much fun with the shapes and toppings….
It made the girls eclectic and they had fun decorating some on their own.
Little hearts for my sweethearts!!!
