Wow! These days are going by so fast! Hard to believe Valentine’s Day is finally here!!!! Sweet, It is!
I think of candy hearts, chocolates, and more candy, lol! I also think of Love and my daughter’s birthday 🙂 A double treat! Double fun!
Show Love On Valentine’s Day!
I wanted to do something special for Valentine’s Day.
Yesterday, I decided to do some baking! What was I going to bake, cupcakes? I went a little extreme and also made a cake too! Not sure where I got all this energy to do all of this, but I was on a roll! Have you ever been on a roll to do more than one thing?
I used a devils food cake mix box for the cupcakes and cake. (follow instructions on box). I used free eggs that I got from Stop and Shop!
After the cupcakes cooled I spread chocolate frosting on them. I poured sprinkles into a bowl and dipped the cupcake into them and used a spoon to sprinkle them. Either way, both worked!
For the cake, I frosted with chocolate frosting and poured sprinkles over the cake. I also put some sprinkles on the side of the plate for decorations!
12 cupcakes and 1 flat (baking tin) I was able to make from 1 box of devils food cake mix!

I hope you have a fun time making these pizzelles as I did!
Vanilla Pizzelles
Here is an easy recipe on how to make Vanilla Pizzelles.
3 Eggs
3/4 Cup Sugar
1 tbsp Vanilla Extract
1 Cup Canola oil (or oil of your choice)
2 tsp baking powder
1 stick Margarine (or butter) melted and cooled.
1 3/4 Cup Flour Sifted
1 Basting Brush
Instructions
Beat Eggs and sugar in a bowl (about 2-3 minutes)
Add slowly melted margarine (or butter) and vanilla.
Fold in Flour and Baking Powder.
Use the basting brush and dip it into the canola oil to lightly coat each mold. (You will continue to baste each mold a few more times when you notice the dough not coming easily off the cookie mold plate).
Place and bake 1 Tablespoon of batter per mold for about 30-45 seconds. Place the batter behind the center of the mold. (it may take a few tries to figure this out)
Use a pot-holder to open and close the lid slowly so you don’t get burned from the steam.
Remove pizzelles with a wooden spoon or spatula to the cooling rack.
Optional: Sift powdered sugar on cooled pizzelles!
Two weeks ago I visited my aunt with my sister. We have been traveling out of state weekly to help sort and pack boxes for her new move. My sister and I are on a mission to continuously help out! My Aunt was giving items to family and friends that she didn’t want or need.
I was in the garage packing boxes. My aunt came out and said, “I have something for you and I think you are going to like it!” I had no idea what this could be and was getting excited!! 🙂
I received a Pizzelle Maker!!! 🙂
Wowzers! How cool is this?!?! Very Cool!!! 🙂
My Aunt says, “I don’t have the instruction booklet that goes with it.” I said it was not a problem. I will just go on google/internet and look for it. 🙂
Later that evening, when I got home I got onto google to start my search. I couldn’t find the exact instruction booklet for the international toastmaster pizzelle maker. The ones that I read had indicator lights and mine did not.
So, now what? How am I going to use the pizzelle maker?
Well, this is going to be a learning experience.
Learn as you go, right?
I went back online to google and searched for an easy pizzelle recipe.
There are many selections to choose from!
Here is my pizzelle making adventure that I am sharing with all of you today!
Use a basting brush and canola oil to lightly coat the round cookie mold plates.
Use a potholder to open/close the lid -slowly and bake for 30-45 seconds.
The pizzelles look like mini-waffles!
Use a spatula to place pizzelles on a cooling rack .
When Pizzelles are cooled stack them.
I arranged all the vanilla pizzelles on a plate.
I used a sifter to get powdered sugar over the vanilla pizzelles.
These vanilla pizzelles are very tasty! They are very light and you can’t eat just one, I tried! They taste like an Italian cookie! 🙂
I had a lot of fun making these.
Makes 2 Dozens! 🙂
Also, here is another variation my mother made with these Tasty Vanilla Pizzelles and you can too! Ice Cream Pizzelle Cookie!
Place 1 Pizzelle on a plate
Place a few scoops of Ice Cream or frozen yogurt on the pizzelle.
Place another pizzelle on top.
Add whip cream to it.
Drizzle some chocolate syrup over it!
It is Yummy! 🙂
