Princess Christmas gift.


My daughter wanted to give her friends something princess for Christmas. This is what we came up with. It matches the little crowns on the body glitter package. It's a great idea to tie cookies to gifts!

Flowers, flowers, flowers





I learned how to make chocolate paste, and started making flowers. They taste so much better than gumpaste, but temperature is a factor. If it is too hot these poor little flowers will melt.

Valentines Day






These are several different cookies that I have made for Valentines day. The little cookies I call tidbits, I made them to look like conversation hearts. The flowers are made out of milk and white chocolate.

Happy "Valentines" Birthday

My sister in laws birthday is on Feb. 14th. I made this give to her, to celebrate her valentines/birthday. This cookie is 12 inches, and the roses are made out of white and milk chocolate. It turned out beautiful.

Cottage in the woods

I made the woodland scene and loved it. I then thought it would be fun to have a cottage in the woods. I think they turned out cute.

New Design for Gingerbread house

I wanted to improve the design of the gingerbread house cookie. So I added candycanes and I made window cutouts and filled with crushed hard candy to make them look like glass. I like this design much better!

Gingerbread house cookie

Christmas lights


When I found this cookie cutter, I just had to have it. My favorite part of Christmas is looking at all the lights on the houses, and watching the lights on the trees. I used edible silver paint to color the bottom.

Traditional Gingerbread

I make these gingerbread cookies every Christmas. I love them, not only because they are beautiful, but they are so yummy. I make the icing with peppermint flavoring. The combination of the peppermint with the spices in the cookie, is wonderful. Best when dipped in hot cocoa!

Christmas fun

I very rarely make sugar cookies at Christmas because we love the gingerbread so much. This year I decided to make sugar cookies and I love the change. The colors make it fun. I used the leaf tip on the Christmas wreath to give it more texture. I will be making more this year for sure!

Ballet Slippers

I made these for my daughter. She loves ballet. She is dancing in the Nutcracker and I am giving these to her instead of flowers when she is done.

I made these for my parents 40th wedding anniversary! They turned out really fun!

blessing dress

These cookies are so fun for a baby blessing. The dress can be made to match the dress.
