Personal Side


What a few weeks it has been. 
I missed last week's Chatter when I was in Salt Lake City for CookieCon2015.
I was busy with so many activities, I decided to hold off on posting a Chatter until this week.
Going through all the photos from the event brings back such awesome memories.
It was a stellar event!

I'm still on vacation in Park City, Utah. 
It is beautiful here.....and a perfect place to rest, relax and regain energy.
I look forward to going home on Monday and getting back to real life.
But for now, I will soak up a few more days of wonderful-ness. :)

CookieCon2015 has arrived!
The time has flown and suddenly I'm leaving on a jet plane today....
With over 200 cookies packed up in my suitcase (yes, I know that's CRAZIE!)
and loads of excitement.......let's do this thing!



Reporting from sunny and beautiful Salt Lake City, Utah!
All of the cookies arrived in great condition.
The only casualties were a few molded edible clay flowers.
Tonight's going to be a long night preparing for tomorrow's classes......
But it's going to be a fun long night!

I have one more class this morning and then CookieCon officially begins this afternoon!!

Autumn Jelly Jar Cookies (Tutorial)






When I first saw this cute jelly jar cookie cutter, I KNEW I had to make some fall jar cookies with it.


http://www.thatsanicecookiecutter.com/store/p140/Jelly_Jar_-Large.html


There are certainly tons of ways to decorate this shape.
I'm just showing two designs in this blog post.
Take them as inspiration and run wild to make these jar cookies your own.

For the burlap covered jar (left in photo)
 outline and flood the top portion of the cookie in white glaze.

For the fabric topped jam jar (right in photo), flood the bottom portion of the jar.


Once the glaze has dried for a while, add the corresponding top or bottom.
For the burlap topped jar (left), start adding burlap texture lines (either horizontal or vertical).




After 30 minutes, continue to add burlap texture lines in the opposite direction (left jar).
Also add an additional layer of glaze to the fabric topped jar on the right.
If desired, add a label to either jar at this point.



For the burlap covered jar (right in photo below), 
add some fringe burlap texture "spilling" over onto the jar.
Begin to add lines of "jute/string" around the crown of the jar covering.
Wait about 15 minutes between applying more piped "jute".
Once you get the string the way you want it, add a bow to the right side of the cookie.
Allow it to flow over onto the extensions on the side of the jar.


Dry overnight.

Brush the jars with caramel and light brown petal dusts to 
highlight the textures and give it an aged look.
