I love these giant conversation hearts. I made them 2 years ago as table decorations for a Primary Teacher's Brunch we did in early February. They are cut from 1 1/2" pine then painted in bright pastels. I wrote the words in with my rotary tool then hand painted the red lettering. 
Last summer I wanted to make some cupcakes. This was my first attempt:
The frosting wasn't quite right, and I thought they looked more like ice cream cups. So, I let my kids paint them, and I even made a little cone. 
I painted them in chocolate, vanilla and strawberry. With sprinkles. Don't they look delicious?
