Spring Cookies

Nothing like having to post again....there was something wrong with Blogger...so this post I did the other day wasn't saved...so nothing new, just wanted to put it out there again on my blog.

Here's another Spring cookie order that just went out the door!! The event was today and I think they liked the cookies. Just an assortment but thought I would share what I've been up to. Some of the cookies are the same but I try something a bit different with each cookie...even though you might not be able to tell!

BZZZZ


There is a story to tell behind the finished product of the dragonfly. I was working on this order early, early AM last week. I was taking forever to decide which colors to use to go with the rest of them and had finally made my decision. Working nicely and about done with my flooding. When what should happen?? My WORST NIGHTMARE. My sleeve must have hit the cookie sheet that my cookies were on and they all went tumbling to the floor...and broke into little pieces. Only one dragonfly was salvaged. WOW. I wanted to cry. I think I did for a few seconds. Then just pulled out the mix master and made another batch of cookie dough, rolled out more dragonflies and started all over. You can imagine how devastated I was!!

Here is how they finally turned out. A lot of time and tears on my part!
Some butterflies....

Tulips with stems

More tulips.

Daisies

And the whole assortment together

Happy Baking!

Here comes Peter Cotton Tail! Happy Easter Cookies

Happy Spring, Happy Easter! Here are the Easter cookies I've been working on. I just wish the weather would be a bit more Spring like here in Kansas City! Spring colors make you want to get outdoors!


My larger butterfly turned out a little lopsided. Not sure what happened to the shape when I baked it! Opps!
I thought the chicks coming out of their egg shells was a cute idea. I found them on Esty.com. They were fun and easy to make. I've had a bit of trouble with my icing lately so had to improvise and fix them a bit - but to the untrained "cookie" eye, you would never know! The funny thing about baking and decorating - each batch is entirely different and I always just hope they turn out for the best. Your icing or decorations can easily go hay wire!
Tried to get a bit creative with the flowers here. I like the colors but not really sure I like the decorating as much.
Some new basket cookie cutters that I thought were really fun and different. They took a bit of time but I"m really pleased with how they turned out.

We can't forget bunnies of all shapes and sizes for Easter!



Have a great day! Happy Baking. I've already been up a few hours working on my next batch of cookies!
