BOOOOOOOOO!!!

I know... I tried to scare you!  It didn't work, did it???  :-)   Here are the Hallowe'en cookies I came up with for this year.   The D-Lish butter cookie that is soft and melts in your mouth, covered with D-Lish royal icings!   Seriously good.   Unfortunately, I made a few extras... sigh.... in my belly they went!!!  They are simply irresistable! 

TODAY'S SPECIAL... if you live in the Edmonton area and would like these D-Lish Cookies for your Halloween event or your child's class party....   Order today and receive them for just $15/dozen!  The designs shown below are the designs available for this special.  Mix em up or order all the same!

Hooooooot.....

Here are a couple of pictures of the latest cookies I've attempted.   I must say that I'm admiring my husband more and more.  He sure does do a lot with the kids but when he's been working late all week and I had these orders to get out, I felt a bit frazzled!  Frazzled because my counter space is limited so I'm using EVERY inch of it, and the table top is COVERED!!!   So... keeping the kids away for fear of just one cookie being destroyed... eating our dinner off the living room floor... ahhhhh!!!   Needless to say... I'm really looking forward to our new house in the new year with a BIG kitchen and hopefully a kitchen in the basement... commercial kitchen... hmm.... :-)

I think these orders turned out really cute.   They are a fondant background with royal icing for the details.  Using the flow royal icing, the cookies take longer to make as it needs to harden before doing the next layer, so to speak!  I'm learning more patience!  Enjoy!

Interested in trying before buying???   Try a sample pack of 6 cookies for just $10!

I love receiving feedback. One lady today told me, "You know what you've done... now I'm expected to bring these cookies to every event!  They were mad at me for bringing a pie to Thanksgiving dinner rather than cookies!"  
 How awesome is that!   Because remember... these cookies not only look good... they TASTE good! 

Also, I'll will include some great shots of the cookies I made for our family photos with http://www.beautiphotography.com/ , an amazing Cochrane based photographer.  We travelled down there the end of September for our pictures and couldn't have been happier with the results!  The kids welcomed the treat of a cookie when this shoot was almost over!



VaaRooomm!!!

It was my son's birthday last week and he was a little undecided what he really wanted for his birthday... he kept coming back to pirates so a pirate cake and cookies it was... however... he saw this motorbike cookie cutter and decided that he needed some BLUE motorbike cookies!  Here's my simple attempt!  :-)  We went simple and eliminated the "muffler" piece????   At 4, I didn't think he'd care too much!!!

Welcome!

Time for a blog!   A real life cookie blog!   And... not just ANY cookie, let me tell you!!!    This is a soft and D-Lish butter cookie home baked and hand decorated using royal and fondant icings!  
These cookies are a  MUST HAVE for your next event!   These cookies have been used as wedding favours, baby shower treats, birthday treat bag gifts and so much more!   So whether you have a wedding, a birthday, a holiday that you are celebrating, let me design a cookie that will suit your event perfectly!   My standard cookies that I design are 4 inches square.

I will be upfront with you... this is a hobby and a really fun past time for me in the midst of raising my 3 young children with my amazing husband.   I am a teacher and soon about to head back to work, but enjoy baking too much to not share it with others!   That way, I get to bake but the results don't end up on my hips!  So, I do not have a commercial kitchen!   Some day!!!  Dreams...

So, here on this blog, you'll find pictures (I wish I was a professional!) of my most recent cookies, and even a deal or 2!   Maybe even a giveaway!   Stay tuned and please let me know you've stopped by for a visit!

Thanksgiving and Halloween are the holidays that most of you will be celebrating this month.   My kids are simply thankful for the candy they'll receive!  :-)   So for this first post I'll show you some Fall designs I did as well as some Pirate cookies I made a few weeks ago.  In these cookies I used edible ink for the first time and I can see that it'll quickly become a favourite tool!  Coming up this month will be cookies for a baby shower with an Owl theme and of course... Halloween cookies!
