First and foremost, I want to thank you all for your votes on the Cuteiversary Contest! It was a very close race, with the winner changing nearly daily until 10 this morning CDT. I’m proud to announce that the winner of the First Annual Cuteiversary Contest is…..
Maria from ChefMommy with her Spaghetti and Meatball Cupcakes with 43 votes!
Congratulations Maria! I’ll be sending you an email to get your mailing address so I can get you your prize!

Today’s theme, as the first Cute Food Saturday as a one-year-old entity, for no other reason than deliciousness, is cute chocolates. Some of these are cute because of the mold they were put in, but some are cute for other reasons. Check them out!
Have a wonderful Saturday all!

I’ve been asking for weeks for cute food submissions in order to hold a Cute Food Saturday anniversary contest. Well, the response was overwhelming, the submissions adorable, and for Cute Food Saturday’s birthday, YOU, my readers, will get to choose the winner through a poll on my sidebar over there on the right, below the ad. What will the winner receive? Well, after much thought and deliberation, I’ve decided that the prize will be the cupcake themed apron from FlirtyAprons.com!
Now, on to the submissions, in no particular order. I limited each entrant to three individual entries to avoid duplicates and to make it a bit more balanced. There are some amazing bloggers and bakers out there!!!
Important note: You MUST vote on the poll on the right hand side of the page. Votes in the comments will not be counted!
#5 Spaghetti and Meatball Cupcakes by Maria of Chef Mommy
#7 Snowman Cake by Di
Voting will run from right now until next Saturday, March 5 at midnight. The winner will be announced in next week’s Cute Food Saturday post! Good luck to all the entrants, and thank you all for your participation! Also, you may notice a little Cute Food Saturday badge over in the sidebar. You can grab the code below and put it in YOUR sidebar!

Today’s theme, as you may have assumed, is Valentine’s Day! Before we get to the cuteness I’ve found all over the internet, I want to help you with something to make your own Valentine’s day (or any other day) cute food!

For Valentine’s Day, Adam and I have elected to save a bit of money and stay home. We’ve pretty much decided on a romantic meal at home with cheese fondue, plenty of bread, and a dessert of some sort. We have a problem though… I’m a very “dark chocolate” kind of dessert person. The darker and more decadent the better. The first dessert I ever remember being “close my eyes” good was a flourless chocolate cake when I was about 9. Adam, on the other hand, is much more of a fruit or pie dessert kind of guy. He’d rather have a slice of cherry pie than dark chocolate any day. Enter: Dessert for Two pan! This is an adorable pan with two individual baking areas for potentially two separate desserts! While I haven’t mastered cooking for one or two, I’ve definitely mastered the baking for one… so what will I be doing? I’ll make myself a little something chocolate while Adam can have his fruit crisp, they can bake at the same time, and we can eat our different desserts at the same time. Want this pan?? I know you do… you can easily purchase it in my OpenSky shop!!
Now for the lovey-dovey Valentine’s Day cuteness!
My friend Choco found this one, she loves owls
That’s a CAKE!
Hope you all have a wonderful Valentine’s Day!

You probably guessed what the theme of today’s CFS is… and if you guessed The Super Bowl, you’re right! Big football games are a perfect excuse to show of cute food skills, not to mention EATING cute food. People get really creative on Super Bowl Sunday!
GO TEAM!! (As a Bears fan, I have to root against the Colts… Geaux Saints!)
Gotta love a Twinkie stadium!
Rice Krispie treat footballs
Football cupcake
Ok, so it’s a birthday cake, but still football!
That’s it for this week! “See” you next time for a Valentine’s themed CFS

Before I get to today’s Cute Food, I just have to link to someone… I’m a little obsessed with making my CrackBerry Blackberry cute. It has a pink case on it, and I always have fun backgrounds. This girl made a whole page of cute food wallpapers for me! I think they work with most bigger blackberries… Thank you for those!
Now, onto the cute:







This next one is for my good friend Bobby


That’s all for today! Don’t forget to email me your own cute food submissions by February 25!

Welcome back to Cute Food Saturday! Please remember that if you see or make any cute food and send it my way, I *will* post it! There’s not a theme for this week, other than “cute for the sake of cute”!!
Enjoy!
One of my readers (who comments as Katklaw777) sent me this some time ago, and I can finally post it!
And the rest I’ve just found in my random searching…
A Star Wars series:
Twilight anyone?
My mom would like this one:

It’s back! I neglected my Cute Food Saturday while I was away last weekend, so I have to address my favorite holiday cute food tradition in THIS week’s CFS:
Gingerbread houses!








That’s it for now! Happy New Year! I’ll be back tomorrow with Part 1 of our Honeymoon Recap!
