Oscar Flash Back

So 2 years ago I saw this post on Bakerella.  It immediately made me want to order the cookie cutter from CopperGifts and learn how to use royal icing.  So I shelled out the $15 on the cookie cutter and googled royal icing and went and bought everything else I would need to make some Oscar cookies.

At the time I thought these were pretty amazing.

When I look at them now all I can see is what I would do differently.  If someone could make more hours in the day, these would be made again this weekend in honor of the Oscars.  Instead I'll be elbow deep in "Baniwa" cake trying to figure out how to make a Thomas the Train cake.

Valentine's Day

Last year for Valentine's Day I took cake pops to work for the coworkers.  I figured if I didn't show up with something this year I might be in trouble.  So last minute I decided to do some heart cookies.   Basically it was an excuse to try out some marbling and stripes with the royal icing.

Rockstar Baby Shower Cookies

What do you take to a baby shower for music loving momma's.  How about rock star cookies.  The cookies were sugar with royal icing.  The logo's were drawn on after the icing had set with an edible marker and the help of a Kopy Kake

Here is what the plate looked like at the start of the party.

And last but not least. . . Sparkly Stars

The shower was great and now we just wait to meet the little guy.

Some oldies but still my favorites
