Last year I bought you the Ryan Gosling Blue Valentine Cupcakes. This year I bring you cupcakes with his face on. Ryan Gosling Cupcakes. You’re welcome.
I am well aware of how weird this is. But who can blame me when his face is so damn good to look at?? I want to know if any girl hasn’t cried whilst watching The Notebook, I think it’s actually humanly impossible. The first time my new housemate watched it with us, we thought we had broken our happy go, lucky friend, as the tears just wouldn’t stop.
I also love Crazy, Stupid, Love. So much. If you haven’t seen it, add it to your Valentine’s night movie watching list, NOW!
Shockingly, I am single this Valentines Day. Maybe my obsession with a certain actor… So this year I will be having a Galentines Evening (thanks to Leslie Knope) with my girlfriends, with plenty of wine, pizza, ice cream, romcom’s and these beauties. For Galentines Day, you want something pretty and colourful. I went with the classic Red Velvet Cupcakes but with an added treat of an edible topper of Ryan Gosling’s face. That’s right. His face. In a weird and creepy way, you can get most celebrities edible way on Amazon.
I used Peggy Porschen’s Red Velvet recipe from her cupcake book my cousin kindly got me.
So if you’re curled up with your significant other or just hanging out with your friends, why not make these sweet treats for your sweets and share the love.
