Merry Christmas!

I made these little frosting santas on parchment paper, then put them on the snow globes after they dried.

It's still Autumn...

December is not quite here yet, so it's not too late to post these cute little Fall cookies, even though my Christmas tree is already up and stockings are hung on the mantel... I'll put up the Christmas cookies next week.

I made these little jars of minis for two of my best friends who both have Autumn birthdays.

This is the apple pie I made for Thanksgiving.

I had some extra pie crust and filling so I made these for my husband and me while the pie was baking. We ate them with ice cream at about 11 o'clock on Thanksgiving eve, so I woke up Thanksgiving morning already feeling like I ate too much. Was that really necessary? No, but it was good.

Happy Halloween!

I've been a little busy so it's been a while since I've made cookies... but my sister-in-law sent a picture of these skeleton cookies from a "Cheryl's" catalog, so I had to try them. How easy with only 2 colors and no flooding! Also a good excuse to try a new chocolate cookie recipe. They turned out pretty yummy. On their own they taste kind of like brownies, and frosted I think they taste like hostess cupcakes. The best part is that they keep their shape perfectly after baking!

I know, some of the them look like alien skeletons because I made the heads too big...

Also, I forgot to post these cookies from a couple months ago (pre-baby)

A photographer in Annapolis asked me to do these for the grand opening of her new studio. I love how the colors turned out.

Fireworks and Flags

Have a happy and safe 4th everyone!

I had to send some more cookies to Gram because she was a bit upset that everyone ate hers at the reunion :) so I made a few patriotic teacups and teapots too!

Happy Birthday Gram!

We just got back from a week-long beach vacation/ family reunion where we celebrated my Grandmother's 92nd birthday. It was an awesome time and I loved seeing my cousins, 2nd cousins, aunts and uncles, and of course, Gram. To celebrate her birthday I made her these little teacup and teapot cookies.

Gram loves a good cup of coffee, but hates drinking it out of a mug. Whenever she visits any of us, we are always sure to have a pretty little teacup for her to drink from. My Aunt even gave her one for her birthday so she could have a teacup at the beach. She is too cute... I love that lady.

Happy Birthday Gram!

Happy Easter!

Soccer cookies

I got to make some cookies for my neighbor's birthday today. He is this really great kid who is always polite and friendly, and he does a great job mowing our lawn, and he kind of looks like Leonardo DiCaprio! :)

He plays soccer for his high school, so his mom suggested soccer cookies which I was very excited to do. I found out what cleats he wears, and tried to copy them, and the T design is his school logo. Also his name starts with T so I though it would work.

These were really fun to do especially because I got to use my Kopykake projector. Believe me, those soccer balls would have taken twice as long and not looked half as good if I had to do it freehand. I love my cookie machine!!
