Pink, Pink, Pink Valentine's Table and A Giveaway


This year's family dinner is all about
PINK!

I love to set the table for the family but 
we have outgrown all of the tables
and have to set the bar too, but I
wanted Valentine's Day dinner for
the family to be fun and beautiful.


The cupcakes are the stars and 
they are covered with hugs and kisses
because that is what Grandma loves to
do when the kiddies come running 
through the door.

And the silicone Teacup Cupcake cups
are the giveaway for some lucky winners
this week!





Decorate a cupcake in these teacups
and they deserve to be placed on a pedestal!


Everything is white and pink to
change it up from our usual brilliant
red tables for Valentine's Day.


I hauled these beautiful pink dishes
all the way from San Antonio, Texas
last year when visiting my sister Jean.

They layer beautifully with the  white
textured dishes.  Have you noticed how
hard it is to find pretty pink plates?  I
had been looking for a while for these.



 The Pink Jamestown Fostoria
stemware was a gift from her daughter,
Laurel, my niece who had inherited
them from my mother.  That was so 
sweet of her because it is also hard to
find pretty pink stemware.  This is the
first time I am using these.  She brought
them for me on her last trip from Texas.

I love how heavy they are and I am not
afraid to let the kids use them.






They were topped with the cloches,
but you can see in the background
the child friendly option, without the cloches.


I used my sparkly heart ornaments
as napkin rings and I chose to
use this white plastic flatware.  I love
the pink against the white just like
the plate stack.




These were a great treasure found 
in the same gift shop back in Washington DC
where I purchased the silicon Teacup Cupcake cups.



Our centerpiece is all about pink too!


It features a couple of old
Valentine's Day chocolate boxes
from See's Chocolates.

I surrounded the centerpiece with a
heart made of pink plastic hearts which you
can see on the left.  You can't really capture
it in the picture.



I love you comes in pink and chocolate for the table.



And a rose ball under glass!





It is finished off with a pink candle
on a delicate pink candle holder.




These Fostoria glasses are the prettiest
clear pink.  Fostoria also made a Virginia Pink
which is more of a peachy pink.









The kids at the counter had a simplified
stack and no cloche.


They also had a chocolate marshmallow
skewer on their plates.







As I mentioned on my last post,
I had posted about these silicone
Teacup cupcake cups two years
ago and had purchased them in a
gift shop and they were pretty pricey,
but I am now having a giveaway.
I just love giveaways and we haven't had
enough with the downturn in the economy!!!

I will be giving away two prizes,
one set of eight cups and saucers
in pink and one set of eight cups and
saucers in white.  The cups are oven
save, the plates are not.  

To be eligible for the giveaway
you must be a follower and you
must leave a comment saying which
color of set you would like.  The giveaway
will last until Monday, February 16, 2015
at midnight.  Then two names will be
drawn at random (matching their color
choices of course) and the winners will
be announced.  

These are lightweight and I can mail
them anywhere in the world, so everyone
is eligible to enter!  

You don't have to be a blogger to enter,
just leave me an email address in your 
comment so I can get ahold of you if
you are chosen as the winner.

I will be posting this with

Chocolat - French for Chocolate. I adored chocolate from a young age when I had to sneak in the cupboard to find where my mother had hidden the Nestle's Chocolate Chips. Having read about the famous chocolat shoppes in Paris, when I finally got there I was determined to try a chocolate from every Paris shoppe. I invite you to share my adventures in creating, in travel, and in life.

  1. Well, look at you with your pretty pink cupcakes and adorable molds. love the pink ones! The fondant recipe sounds great, because most people hate fondant. Love the cute design you made and the x and o on top. Beautiful table setting and the blingy hearts are calling my name. Love it all!

  2. Jacqueline ... I have enjoyed your many wonderful recipes and decorating ideas for a good while and I thank you for that. This lovely Pink Valentine's Day table is just beyond gorgeous and I am so a "pink" gal!! The teacup set is so precious and I would love either color choice :) Thanks for this amazing and gracious opportunity! DRH

  3. I'd love either. Wow, this is a great giveaway. What I'd really like is to have you come set my table! Happy Valentines' day Jackie.

  4. What a delightful setting for a LOVE FEAST! Those charming cupcake cups are simply so sweet, and though the pink first caught my eye yesterday, the white would be perfect for all sorts of happy times, as well.

    I'm just in such a Pink Phase of my life (shopping for a pink stove right now---Sis has decided on the blue, and we're leaning toward Blue Star). And DO tell me that the X and O are those well-remembered chalk-hard decorations-in-a-pack that graced many a Birthday Cake way back in my childhood! I've never seen them in anything but pink flowers for girls, and maybe rocket ships or cowboy hats for boys.

    And I always wonder, how do you make all those delicate pedestals and goblets balance on the elegant 3-D roses of the cloth?

  17. Next to lavender, pink is best! My goodness, what a special (and always elegant) table you've set. I found the heart marshmallows in Florida and one floating on a hot chocolate at night is decadent.
    I've been following your blog for some time to drool over your lavender things and baking. The silicone teacups would be so much fun to bake with and although I'd prefer pink, I'd be happy to win either colour.
    Happy Valentine's Day Jacqueline.

  18. You set the most gorgeous tables, Jacqueline! The ball of roses under the cloche is making me swoon. I remember when you posted about those teacup, silicone cupcake holders and I loved them then and now. I wouldn't be choosy, but I'm thinking pink is best. Thanks for the opportunity and I'm already a follower.

  20. Your tables are always so beautiful, and this one is no exception. Your family must feel so special to be treated to a feast for the eyes even before their meal! :) The teacups are so cute. I love both colors, though if I absolutely had to choose, it would be the white. :)

The flatware really caught my eye, I would have never guessed it was plastic! Your plate stack is divine, as well as the gorgeous stemware. I'm sure everyone was thrilled to find a pink frosted teacup at their place, not to mention chocolate drizzled marshmallows! Happy Valentine's Day to you and your family!

  30. You always set the most beautiful tables! Your family is so blessed to have such a talented and creative matriarch :) A few years ago I saw those silicone cupcake cups in a store and didn't buy them as I thought they were too expensive.

  44. Girl, your table is so fun and PINK!! Love the goblets that were your Mother's so sweet of your niece to share with you. The pink and white dinnerware is so pretty together. I recall at Tai Pan they had a pink version of the white plates you had, it was when they first opened to the public. ever since then I wished I had purchased some pink plates. I would love to be included in the giveaway, and either color would be wonderful to have. I love all your tablescapes, they are just so fun. It always makes me wish my grands lived nearer! Someday they will live on the same continent as we do! LOL take care, heading to Utah today!
    Hugs, Betsy

  47. I have been following your blog for a couple of years and have loved every recipe and idea I have gotten from you! Thank you! My daughter is a florist and for her wedding reception 2 years ago she asked me to make her wedding cake. I had never made a wedding cake but that is what she wanted! With her being a florist her outdoor wedding reception was all about the flowers so I used your Ombre Rose cake tutorial and frosted the three tier cake in cream roses. It turned out beautiful thanks to you!! I have loved your teacup cupcakes since their first post, but these darling Valentines cupcakes and your beautiful table scape would make anybody's holiday dinner! I love the white ones!

    ReplyDelete
  48. OH MY GOSH! First off let me say this is an amazing and VERY" generous giveaway and I would be absolutely thrilled to win either color. I like the idea of white best but if pink, are you kidding? Would I ever complain? No WAY! I have tea parties all the time and would be tickled to pieces to be a winner, thank you for the opportunity!

    As for your beautiful cupcake and tablescape - I love how your plates stack so perfectly. Your centerpiece, everything looks perfect for Val's Day! Well done!
