Re: Valentine's Black Forest Brownie Torte
We sure did feel the love. I'm now planning for classroom birthday celebrations, so I'm thinking some black forest cupcakes might be a good alternate treat.

Re: Non-Cupcake Classroom Birthday Celebration Idea
That is a cute idea. However, please remember anytime we offer food to our child's classmates we risk allergies. My youngest daughters is allergic to Yellow 5 (which is found in almost all applesauce brands - except the all natural).

But, allergies come in many different forms. For classroom birthdays, I always avoid food.
