Dear Reader,

Tonight at sunset marks the ending of Imbolc, the halfway point between winter and spring. The snow has started to thaw on my little farm. In this episode, I am making a collection of vintage inspired Valentine's Day desserts and crafts. I'll share with you how to paint springerle cookies and how to decorate a vintage style cake. This red velvet cake with buttercream frosting is one of my favorite cakes I have ever developed! We also make Victorian vintage style Valentine’s Day cards.

Watch as I welcome you into a cozy fantasy world of cooking! These cozy, soothing sounds will transport you to my cottage kitchen on the Iowa prairie. This episode includes cozy sounds such as gentle rainfall, bird song, soft spoken voice, paper shuffling, fountain pen scratching, and painting.

If you enjoy this video, I welcome you to subscribe to our YouTube channel! I have been loving creating these cozy videos with lots of soothing sounds. I hope that you are enjoying watching. Your feedback means the world to me! Let me know what I should make in an upcoming video by leaving a comment.
