Pendant Cookie

Awhile back I found a pendant while playing around on Pinterest. Immediately I saw the cookie it could become...unfortunately there it sat...on my Pinterest board...bugging me...begging me to become a cookie. (If you are wondering yes, things can beg to be cookies.) Anyway the problem with this bit of inspiration was the fact that it required a lot of colors and techniques that I have never tried. It took a little while but finally I made it...not for anyone special, just for me.

This cookie would have been a bit much to free hand so I started with my yellow food writer. I traced a measuring spoon to draw the circles and free handed the rest. It was about now that I was really sad not to have a projector of sorts.

I used an ivory to outline the design. This is where the learning really took off. If you make your piping icing too thick piping a detailed design becomes much, much harder. I found the starting and stopping of the icing not to blend very well. It left little peaks which about drove me made. I chose to move on and just be proud of myself.

Tada! I loved doing this. I loved watching this cookie come to life.




Not too bad - I learned a lot and actually I love it!!

Let it snow!

Christmas Day came and after the thrill and excitement of presents and Santa calmed down my four year old ended up at the window. He sadly declaired that it couldn't really be Christmas since there wasn't any snow. It broke my heart. I wanted to make it "officially" Christmas for my little guy but I don't have Mother Nature's direct number. :)

Unfortunately, it has taken weeks for us to get a real storm. While we were waiting for our snow to come I took matters into my own hands.

Snowflake cookies...
I made a simple dozen. They say that each and every snowflake is different, each a unique creation. I chose to follow that same design idea. Have you ever tried to design twelve snowflakes? I admit it was harder than I thought. In hind sight I should have Googled snowflakes but hey - you live and learn. Some I like more than others must the most important thing...

they were super tasty!

In case you were wondering we have finally have snow much to my baby's delight!

Do you need a sweet treat in the midst all of this blustery weather?
Order today!

It wore an itsy, bitsy, teeny, weeny....

nope not a yellow poke-a-dot bikini :) After all it was for a teeny, tiny new little baby. I hated to take a picture on my cookie sheet but hey, I was a woman on a mission. The night before taking a dinner to a good friend of mine I decided she needed some new baby cookies....TADA!



I loved the way these turned out. Not too bad for my first set of onsies...I would love to make more. Who do I know that is going to have a baby? Any volunteers? You have the babies and I will lovingly make the cookies. :)

shapes shown above: onsie, mini onsies

Simple Christmas

I love Christmas and I loved being given the chance to make a large batch of Christmas cookies...not once but twice. I decided to keep the designs simple since I was making these cookies in large numbers. I don't think it hurt their charm do you?

Reindeer...
Evergreens...
Snowmen...
Christmas Lights...

Candy canes with a touch of sugary sparkles...
Wreath...

I hope you had a wonderful holiday season! See you in 2012!!

Get Well


Get well soon - its a saying often heard but sounds so much better when it is coming in the form of a cookie. This little tin was filled (you can't see the bottom layer) with bright pink and blue band-aids and one Get Well message cookie. I hope Makenna has a speedy recovery!
