100 day baby celebration cookies

I was recently asked to make 100 cookie favors for baby Chase’s 100 day celebration; some of you may know it to be a “red egg and ginger party.”  I’ve been to a few in the past (and more especially this year) and I just love ’em.  I mean, baby cuteness, seeing friends, and a Chinese…

Easter Cookies

I decided to do up some Easter cookies for this year.  I didn’t take a whole lot of progress pictures, but the process is quite similar to how I decorate my other cookies. After flooding the bunny cookies (below) I let them dry a bit before I went in and piped on their tails using…

Peppa Pig Cookies

I was (happily) commissioned once again to create some birthday treats for Jaslyn’s birthday.  As some of you may recall, I did her fishy cupcakes last year and her little bro’s jungly themed cake earlier this year. Her theme this year was Peppa Pig, a little oinker who I knew nothing about until my friend…

Beach Themed Bridal Shower Cookies

Say this with me ten times before you read on: She sells sea shells on the sea shore. The shells she sells are sea shells, im sure. And if she sells sea shells on the sea shore, Then l’m sure she sells seashore shells. Inspired yet? My friend and I recently received an order for…

Spiderman Comic Book Cover Cookies

So…you know how I thought the Oilers cookies I made took me a long time to make? Well…compared to these, it was child’s play: I bought these cookie cutters at Williams Sonoma the same time I bought the Marvel and Star Wars cookie cutters. I thought that it was a perfect time to make these…

Christmas Came a Week Early!

I’m a HUUUGE fan of Williams- Sonoma, so how stoked was I when I stumbled upon this post today! http://blog.williams-sonoma.com/an-amateurs-guide-to-decorating-marvel-cookies/ I’ve been busy in the kitchen with my holiday baking, but rest assured that posts are yet to come. Thanks, Williams-Sonoma, for the shout out!   You made my Christmas!

Never saw Episodes IV, V, VI.

So like, I wasn’t sure if I was allowed to make these cookies or even write about them, as it appears I’ve committed every cardinal since known to man with the fact that I’ve never watched Star Wars Episodes IV, V, and VI.  It also seems that my having watched (and also owning) of  Episodes…

“Up” up, and away…(attempt #1?)

I’m always wanting to try different methods to decorating my sugar cookies, notedly “painting” with food coloring, and using fondant.  In the past, I’ve stuck to the same techniques: Straight up decorating/piping with royal icing: Then I started playing around with edible food markers: Getting a bit annoyed with myself that I hadn’t done anything…
