Valentines Cookies

Brushed Embroidery and Tufted Cookies

 I love the look of these... so romantic. :)

 After making these it got me thinking of all the ways to use this.  Wether to replicate a lace pattern in a dress or create delicate butterfly wings.

I love the button cookies too!

Randomness

Again I apologize for the terrible pics.

Pink camo shower cookies

These went to a baby shower.  

                                         

                                       Princess Olivia

 My mom and dad took these up with them to visit my brother and his family.  While there they celebrated my nieces first birthday.

The Snoopy How-To

 As with all my cookies they are free hand so each one is slightly different.  But I was really pleased with how these turned out.  these cookies were made for a baby shower and matched the babies crib bedding.
First I drew circles the size of my cutter on paper to draw the images and get a feel for the spacing etc.  Then I went to work on the cookies.  First I pipe on the outline of the character.  By doing the black first and allowing it to dry some, it prevented the black from bleeding into the white.

 Next goes the white

 Here is a pick of all the different snoopy faces in progress

Woodstock

After the white (or yellow in woodstock's case) had some time to dry I added the faces and snoopy's collar.

 Next comes the background color.  After piping on the background, I let it dry for a bit then put on the last details such as the stiching and the phrases.  All the small details really make it complete.

Cookie Bites!!!

For Christmas 2 years ago a very sweet friend of mine ordered these mason jars filled with bite size Christmas cookies to give to the teachers at my daughters school.  

Saw 'em off!!! Gig 'em Ags!!!

These Longhorns were for a very dear friend of mine (she would have to be a special person to get this Aggie to make Longhorn cookies!)  Of course I didn't own a longhorn cookie cutter so I made a stencil and cut out these cookies by hand for her.  What got me though was making the maroon longhorn with his horns sawed off ;)  Difficult to see in this photo but the horns are hanging by ribbons to the rest of the cookie. Oh and by the way I have since purchased a longhorn cookie cutter.  

Scarecrows

Had a great time making these guys.  It's a terrible picture (as you have probably figured out, photography is not a skill I possess)

Princess Party Favors

A sweet friend of mine here in Colorado gave these cookies out as party favors for her daughters birthday.

Whooooo Whooooo

These I made for my kids at Halloween.  I love owls!  Something about those big eyes are just so stinkin cute!

Broncos

I made these up for a Bronco Football game/ sunday school social.  I used the same technique as with the snoopy cookies in another post.  First I piped on the white bronco head then quickly added the details like eye and brow etc before the white dried.  Then went in with the orange for the mane and last with the blue background.  And yes it was all free handed.  If you look closely they are all slightly different.

Gobble Gobble Gobble

These turkeys were so much fun! I love that each one is different than the next. I really like the plaid patches too!

More Cookies

I did more painting on the leaves for these fall cookies.

I enjoyed making these fun cookies for a friend in Texas.  Tetris and Pac Man!

CAbi Party Dress Cookies

I made these Cookie Monster cookies for a friend who used them as invitations to her daughters birthday party.  Super cute idea!

Barbie Party

Soccer Team cookies

Past Cookies

In this entry I thought it would be good to post pics of previous cookies I've done.  Here goes...

These were some of my first cookies.  I was still figuring out the right consistency for my glaze.  Too thin it runs all over too thick and it doesn't have a smooth surface.  Not to mention the hand cramps!

By Christmas I had a little steadier hand (and stronger).  I loved making the snowman and sled cookies!

These were so much fun!  I made these a couple years back.  I took a try at painting with the Louis Vuitton bags.  I would love to do these again.  I think my painting skills have improved quite a bit since then.
