Personal Side
Fabulous week......
I tried two new things this week....and both were successful.
I got a new airbrush and had success using it this week.
I purchased one a few years ago and it broke within 3-4 months. :(
At CookieCon, I heard about an inexpensive one that I subsequently ordered from Amazon.
I'm certainly not a pro at it, but it got the job done.
I was happy with the results.
Then I finally found the right combination for a corn syrup edible clay.
I had bought several silicon molds over the Christmas holiday and was anxious to try them out.
I had some failed attempts at a clay these last few months.
But this week....it came together!
And the cool thing......it is basically the same ingredients as my glaze......plus butter.
YEAH!
It tastes like buttercream! Mmmmmm
I'm so excited.
Then......I was asked to teach a glaze class on a Cookie Cruise that is happening in January 2015.
Once again.....super excited.
This next week.....I need to get some Mothers Day cookies done for the blog.
I've got a great idea for a collection that I hope is going to work out. :)

Instagram photos for this week:
Happy Friday!
Awesome cutters....many of them custom that I ordered from Piping Mad Prints.
It brings a cookier joy to see such pretty cutters.
Bridal Shower beauties from last week.....
Wait......before you throw something at me, read my disclaimer.
These snowflakes were made for a cookie project I'm teaching in November.....
and not a reflection of the current season or a desire for more S***. Haha
A week from Sunday.....how did that happy so quickly?!
I can hardly contain my excitement!
I learned two amazing techniques this week.
This cookie shows both of them.....
First.....airbrushing.....can you see the little shimmery hearts on the background of the cookie?
And then I had success developing a corn syrup "clay".
This allows me to mold pretties to put on top of the cookies.
Happy happy happy!!
