Heart Filled Cake Bites for Valentines

I have some Kisses, a few candy melts and a handful of cashew nuts. Sweet, a bit nutty and definitely chocolate-y.

And then I baked a red velvet cake and crushed it into crumbs. Sort of like how Angie Dudley does it, Bakerella-style.
And when there are cake crumbs, the logical thing to do with them is to make them into cake balls or cake bites, right?
By default, cake bites should be covered by chocolate candy melts. And I gathered rolling them into chopped nuts would make them more interesting.  
But you know what could make these cake bites even more interesting? By inserting kisses inside the cake bites so they'll look this this:

Happy Valentine's everyone!

Start a New Fashion, Wear Your Heart On Your Sleeve

Why do I love Enchanted? Let me count the ways:
I love how the ladies who lent their voices to the most beloved Disney Princesses have played parts in the film.
Amy Adams was a darling and Patrick Dempsey, we'll what I can say, he was dreamy.
Idina Menzel was there. Too bad, she wasn't able to sing even just one song.
Need I mention Stephen Schwartz?
Last song is one of my happy songs.
Which inspired this post.
Starting your fashion, wear your heart on your sleeves. Sometimes, it just pops up in my mind out of nowhere. Weird.
Yeah weird, but in a good way.


So even if it's still a week a way, happy valentines everyone!


Happy Cupcaking,
