💖 Let's have a Valentine Tea Party with some Red Velvet Waffles. 💖
My sister gave me this adorable teapot several years ago.
My darling daughter gave me this pretty teacup awhile back and I thought it looked so pretty with my heart shaped plates. A very sweet friend sent me two of these heart-shaped tea diffusers, along with.....
.....this heavenly Blooming Rose tea! Oh my, I felt like a Queen💕 in sipping this loose leaf tea!
Isn't this tea beautiful?? It looks like a pretty potpourri! The rose flavor is, very subtle and sublime.
My daughter also gave me this whimsical vase, and she is so fun to style her "hair" with flowers.
My late beloved mom gave me these floating candles. She was always thinking of me, and I miss her.
Yes, I kept my bedroom tree up and decorated it with Valentine decor. It's sitting on my childhood sled. Who knows, maybe I'll just keep it up and change out the decorations for the seasons?? I have the lights on a timer, and they pop on in the morning for a bit, and then again in the evening.
Here's the waffle maker that I used. Target, Wal Mart and Amazon sell these.

Red Velvet Waffles
These waffles are soft on the inside and crunchy on the outside...the perfect texture!
Ingredients
- Waffles:
- 2 cups flour
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1/4 cup cocoa powder
- 1 tsp. baking powder
- 1/2 tsp. baking soda
- 1/2 tsp. cinnamon
- 1 tsp. salt (I used a pinch)
- 1 and 3/4 cup buttermilk
- 2 large eggs
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter (I used salted, and only used a pinch of salt)
- 2 tsp. vanilla
- 1 tbsp.red food coloring
- Cream Cheese Icing:
- 2 tbsp. butter, melted
- 2 tbsp. cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 1/4 tsp. vanilla
- 2-3 tbsp. milk
Instructions
- For the Waffles:
- Melt the butter, and let it cool before it is added to the mix.
- Mix together the dry ingredients and set aside.
- Beat the eggs in a bowl. Slowly stir in the buttermilk, butter, vanilla, and food coloring.
- Mix the dry ingredients into the wet in three rounds, fully incorporating the dry before adding the next round.
- Add 3.5 tbsp. of batter to the mini waffle maker. If you are using a larger maker, you'll have to read your directions for your brand.
- For the icing:
- Mix all the ingredients together until smooth and thin enough to pour.
Notes:
I only made half of this recipe and still got 16 waffles. You can freeze the extras and pop them in your toaster or toaster oven for a delicious treat! Although, I didn't halve the icing!
