more cookies



Since I had so much fun making Christmas cookies I wanted to continue my education in royal icing and cookie decoration.  This is all in anticipation of getting together with Amy Beth to make Valentine's cookies (which I will repeat with Carolyn the following week when she visits from Portland).  The earlier cookies were done with a cake decoration kit which was OK but not as good as the cookie decoration kit (with smaller pastry bag tips etc.) that Amy Beth is letting me borrow.  Makes a difference!  Practicing makes a big difference as well.  I'm not quite to the point where I can do even modestly fancy stuff like flowers and leaves but I'm going for cute, not professional.

Now you know what I did yesterday.  Hope you're having a great day and a great weekend!

  1. Very stylish cookies. You'll be a master in no time. Can't wait to see the Valentine's Day versions. Sending hugs to both of you!

  3. I heard that you were making 'practice cookies'. And I guess you two have to 'practice' eating them? I LOVE the DS+DT cookie! So sweet. I think you should try putting Carl & Felix's faces on cookies.
