Just because...

While finishing up my last Christmas order tonight, I had fun playing around with some leftover cookies and icing!  With my colour selection limited to the Christmas colours, I came up with some fun designs.  It's my sister's 29th birthday tomorrow so somehow we'll have to stick a candle in these for her.
I wanted to try out some new edible ink writers as well, so I used them on these snowmen cookies!  I wasn't happy with the Wilton ones I had, but I'm loving these new Americolor ones! 

I would like to thank all my clients for a great 2010 year... or should I say the past 6 months!   I never imagined that these cookies would take off like they have!  May you all have a restful holiday season and a fabulous 2011!  What occassion will you order cookies for in 2011?   January is booking up already so place your order early!

Whew... busy in the kitchen!!

What a busy time of year!  I have gone back to teaching full-time, and baking cookies... not to mention those other jobs that somehow don't get done on their own like raising 3 kids, laundry, dishes etc!  But... I LOVE IT ALL!  Ok.. so I don't love laundry or dishes but the rest is mighty fine!   In the midst of all the Christmas cookies, I got to make some birthday cookies!  Kept them simple, and I loved how they turned out!  It was for a 4 year old to take to his preschool class.  When you are dealing with 4 year olds, and preschool... you keep all the cookies the SAME!   I know the teacher would thank me! :-)  I did the same when baking a swack of our new Double Decker Mini's for school classes!!  Here are some pics of the latest creations this season!

 I love these Winter boxes I got for this Christmas season! So festive!
 MANY MINI's ready to go!!

 Birthday Boy Cookies!
