Personal Side

So I've made a crazie decision to stop decorating cookies and instead decorate cakes.

Gotcha! April Fools. ;)
(Sorry I couldn't resist since it is April Fool's Day today.)

This week I was able to focus on Easter and things for my family's visit
and took a small break from cookies.
It was wonderful to be with everyone and enjoy time together.

It's ended up being a whirlwind week with my son being home taking care of lots of appointments
and possibly getting a job here in the area.
It's very exciting because I think this is a turning point in his life for both his health,
his career and his overall life experience.
I'm so excited for the things ahead for him. :)

I'm getting back into cookies this weekend.......
making some BBQ related cookies using some new cutters from That's A Nice Cookie Cutter.
I'm thrilled about my partnership with Ronnie and all the things we are doing together.
Stay tuned!

Happy Good Friday!



I hope you have time this weekend to stop and savor moments with family and friends
as we celebrate this blessed holiday.






Happy Easter everyone!
I hope your day is rich and full of memories to savor.
Jesus is risen, indeed!



Happy Tuesday!



It's a gorgeous day in our area.....
Perfect for thinking of summer and all-things-strawberry.


Not exactly a good day to fly a kite with rain and lightening, but we can pretend....



A flashback to fun flowers testing out techniques with edible clay last year.

Spring 2016 Decorated Cookie Collection






With a woodland theme in mind, here's the 2016 Spring Cookie Collection.

Simple is hard for me, but I was rebounding from the flu when I decorated these, 
so my energy level required simple.
Wet-on-wet is always fun......so I had the chance to go wild with it.
Quick and easy....



Happy Spring to you all!

2016 Easter & Spring Decorated Cookie Collection

Spring Tree Decorated Cookies (Tutorial)






Flowering trees is definitely a highlight of the spring season.

How about decorating some colorful spring trees using various shapes and
adding a paper straw for the trunk?


To prepare the cookies for the straw,
before baking......use a firm plastic straw to make a hole at the base of each "tree".
Bake the cookies.




Decorate cookies as desired.
Cut the straws to preferred length.
Add a tiny amount of glaze to the cut end of the straw,
and push it within the prepared hole.

(Note: Depending on how big/heavy the cookies are, 
the straw may not support the cookie as a handle, i.e. cookie pop.)
