Happy St. Patrick's Day

May the Luck of the Irish be with you this St. Patrick's Day!

Here is what I made in spirit of the holiday!

I made these adorable Leprechaun's last year and wanted to do them again because I liked them so much. Using lots of different cookie cutters to make their cute little faces - circle, ice cream cone, snowman, wreath, cupcake. The idea compliments of The Sweet Adventures of Sugarbelle. She even has a new post on her website for the Leprechaun's here.

A close up of the Leprechaun made out of a cupcake. Can you tell?




I hope you find our Pot of Gold this St. Pat's day. Enjoy the holiday!
Happy Baking,

Lots of Leprechauns

Cookie cutters come and in many shapes and sizes...but sometimes it's fun to think outside the box. I have to give all my credit here to The Sweet Adventures of Sugarbelle. Another fabulous idea. See these cute little leprechauns? Well, they are not made out of leprechaun cookie cutters...they are made out of a wreath, snowman, circle, ice cream cone, skull, Frankenstein. Isn't that so clever???? They were lots of fun to make and pretty easy!

So here are the secrets....this leprechaun is made out of Frankenstein's head (upside down)

A Christmas wreath. (upside down)

Upside down ice cream cone.

Upside down skull.

This one is pretty simple....a circle.

A big snowman with the top cut off.

I never would have thought to use any of these cookie cutters!! Luckily there are creative people out there for me to borrow all my ideas from. As you can see this is a theme of mine. Someday I do need to come up with a few of my own clever ones! But for now "borrowed ones" will have to do.

That's it for my St. Pat's day cookies this year. On to different things. I'm going to be working on some fun pirate themed cookies this week for my neat cousin. I have some great ideas to use and can't wait to see how they turn out!
