Valentine Subway Art

One of the HOT trends right now is Subway Art!  

I must admit, I am obsessed with subway art.  They seem to be everywhere.

Have you printed your FREE subway art?  If not hopefully I can help.

As soon as my Christmas Decorations were put away I began thinking about Valentines Day.  Not sure where the inspiration came from, I guess it was because my Christmas decorations were VERY, VERY slim this year due to a family illness.  Thank you to five of my wonderful friends for surprising me by decorating my house, I know my Christmas decor would have been non existent this year without their help.  I still can't thank them enough for what they did for our entire family.  


In the past my Valentines decorations have been VERY, VERY slim unless you consider  setting out a red candle and a heart frame decorating. :)  This year I found so many CUTE Valentines Ideas that I just couldn't resist.  Here are a couple of Subway Art downloads that I have printed, framed and on display in my house.  

Not just a Housewife has this printable in four different variations for you!

I have to show you this adorable printable that is sitting on my entertainment center

it is soooo cute..."I love LOVE"!  I have it displayed in a black $3.00 frame that I purchased at Walmart.  Cheap but oh so cute!

I really wanted to share the above Printable with you...sadly I can't find where I printed it from.  I will keep looking!

Valentine Treat - Red Velvet Cake Balls

It's a SNOW DAY (again). :) 

Time to do some Valentine baking!

Have you discovered the TRENDY cake balls?  There is something just incredible about red velvet cake and cream cheese icing mixed together, then covered by a coating of chocolate!  Can you say LOVE at first bite!  

One of the greatest things about being Twins is we were always celebrating together.  Every year our Grandmother would make our FAVORITE cake for our birthday, her homemade Red Velvet Cake...still our favorite cake today.  So you can imagine how excited we are to share this recipe with you. 

Though we could have made our classic red velvet cake recipe from scratch, today we were in a hurry to get our sugar fix...so we chose to grab a box of Duncan Hines Moist Deluxe Red Velvet Cake Mix out of the pantry!

Red Velvet Cake Balls

1 box red velvet cake mix (cook as directed on box for 13x9 cake)

1 can cream cheese frosting (16oz or approximately 2 cups of homemade cream cheese icing)

1 Package almond bark (chocolate or white chocolate) OR you can use chocolate chips

wax paper

Now here is the fun part, after the cake is completely cool crumble into large mixing bowl.  

Mix thoroughly with 1 can cream cheese frosting. (It may be easier to use fingers to mix together, but it will be messy.)  

When finished mixing it will be the consistency of a thick dough.  Roll mixture into quarter size balls and lay on cookie sheet.  Place in the freezer until ready to coat in chocolate.  (Do not freeze completely)



Melt chocolate in microwave according to directions on package.  Dip and cover one cake ball at a time using either a spoon or a dipping fork, then place on wax paper.  It may be helpful to only melt a few pieces of chocolate bark at a time because it starts to cool and thicken. It’s easier to work with when it’s hot.

Ok so we are not the greatest Chocolate Dippers...hopefully yours will look WAY better!!! :)

You can also try it with other cake and icing combinations.


If you happen to have a snow day...try making some Cake Balls!
