valentine's day Conversation heart valentine's day cupcakes, plus pumpkin pie, film festival and pretty flowers by Mon Petite Cupcake

These cupcakes are all from the Facebook page of Minnesota custom cupcake company Mon Petit Cupcake. Yes, expect to see lots of hearts in the days leading up to valentine's day ! The pumpkin pie ones look adorable...and one of the great things, in my opinion, about custom cupcake companies is that if you see something you like, you can have them make it (or something like it) for you. They can be reached at monpetitcupcake at yahoo.com and their cupcakes can also be found at:

Bluff Country Co-op 121 W. 2nd St. in Winona, Minnesota and Good Food Store, 1001 6th St NW, in Rochester, Minnesota.
