Personal Side

Well....Christmas baking has certainly arrived at our home.
I did several different sets of Christmas cookies this week.
 
Believe it or not, I think I'm done baking the season's cookies for the blog.
That's good.....because there's lots happening in the next two months to keep me away from my oven.
Now if I can just get lots of photos edited and blog work done.....I'm set. 
Haha!

If that was all it took......it would be a breeze.
No, there's so much beyond that, but it will give me peace of mind to have blog stuff completed.

October is almost over. 
That's truly amazing.
Time waits for no one......for sure!

When I get back from Italy......it will be Thanksgiving and then.....Christmas.
I'm trying to anticipate things ahead of time, but it is very, very challenging.
I don't know that I will have time to get all my Christmas decorations up.
That makes me a bit sad.....but I'll do my best to make something work......
without going CRAZIE. :)

I hope you are enjoying the fall.
It is so beautiful outside.
And the weather is perfect here in Missouri.

Thanks for sticking with me. :)

Instagram photos for this week:


Yes.....this happened this week.


Gobble, Gobble, Gobble.....


Have a Pumpkin-kind-of-Sunday!!


Some golden elegant pumpkin cookies.....


Peppermint.....anyone?


Working on Christmas cookies has a way of brightening the mood in an extraordinary way. 😊
(And yes, I know it's too early to be thinking Christmas,
but events in the next two months necessitated prep work in October.)


Birthday Cookies from last year.....
I hope you have a sweet day.

Pear Cookie (Tutorial)






Here's another new cutter from CookieCrazie Custom Cutters........a pear.


For a classic pear look, the 10-second glaze needs to be a nice apple-y green.
 Outline and flood the pear cookie.


If a more 3D pear is desired,
outline and flood the base of the pair a second time after it has dried 30 min.
You can also add a leaf in a darker green color. 
(see photos below)


And if you're extreme like me, you might try to add a third base layer......
but it is not recommended. ;)


Because of my mistake,
I waited a couple of hours before adding a FOURTH layer to cover the ugly third layer. haha

Once the leaf has dried about 2 hours,
use a cake tester and/or scribe to add some veins.


Also, add a brown stem.


After the pear has dried overnight,
use a mixture of electric green, chocolate brown, and bright white color gels to paint on 
some shadow lines and random splotches.
