Hello Everyone! Exactly one year ago today I got it in my head to make frosted cookies instead of cake for my birthday. At that time and since, a good portion of my attention has been focused on icing. Shapes and color and inspiration have been everywhere. It’s been a fun year. Thank you everyone… Continue reading Snowflakes and Winter Night Cookies
Hello Everyone! Christmas is upon us, ready or not! For me, it’s more “not” than “ready.” I did have a little time between baking snickerdoodles and pumpkin chocolate chip cookies to whip together some simple tree and stocking cookies. So here they are!Every year I put together several boxes of cookies to send to friends… Continue reading Christmas Trees and Stockings
Hello everyone! Well! Fall is here, suddenly, furiously, and I fear that the coat-free days are done. Who am I kidding? It’s October. Time to let Summer go. It’s always around this time of year when I go into this strange state of denial. Winter and cold weather are not my friends. The only consolation lies… Continue reading Fall Apple Cookies
Hello Everyone! Earlier this summer I made up a batch of cookies for a 60th wedding anniversary. Their daughter wanted to surprise them with cookies at the party.

Hello Everyone! This past weekend I made up some flamingo and palm tree cookies for a little princess who was turning one. I got the cutters over a month ago and drew up some sketches almost immediately. Then I put them away. While I’m always excited to try a new design, I have to admit… Continue reading Flamingos and Palm Trees
Hello Everyone! This is part 2 of Maya’s Baptism Cookies. There was just so many different designs I felt the need to break it into two posts. I just really love all of these for their delicate design, but also for the simplicity in color. This was a lesson in getting icing consistency correct and… Continue reading Baptism Cookies for Maya (part 2)
Hello Everyone! A few weeks ago I made some baptism cookies for my cousin’s baby. I got to try a technique I saw a while ago from Sweet Sugarbelle called quilting. Well, I don’t have a projector, but I do have candy markers and a nice straight edge spatula. Between the two I was able… Continue reading Baptism Cookies for Maya
Hello Everyone! You know, my favorite time in summer is when the black-eyed susans start to bloom. I love them because they just scream “It’s summer!” and they last forever, well into the fall at my house, adding some lovely orange accents to the season. They feed the little birds and require next to no maintenance.… Continue reading Bumblebees and Black-eyed Susans
