Cookie burnout gets the best of us sometimes, but thankfully Thanksgiving and the lack of turkey cookies on my blog inspired me to whip up royal icing once again. While turkeys aren’t the cutest of creatures, but all things kawaii must be cute, so I used my trusty sprinkles, wide-set candy bead eyes, and the most […]
Magic & Sparkles! Unicorn Cookies
Posts on my blog these days are like unicorns… Sparkly, special, and rarely seen! I have no extraordinary excuse, simply the busyness of life with kidlets. While I’m absolutely still baking, I’m doing so more for school bake sales, friends and family, and less for the purpose of blogging. It’s a little bit sad, but also a […]
Summer Snail Cookies: Because Slow Food is Sweet
This post has a secondary title, “Snail Cookies: Because Michelle is Slow as Molasses with the Posts Lately!” True enough! As I mentioned a few weeks back, my life’s been a whirlwind lately. We sold our sweet little house, moved into a rental house, and are now set to close on our next house around July 4th. […]
He or She? Hedge Your Bets! Gender Reveal Hedgehog Cookies
While decorating these sweet Baby Face Cookies for my friend Frances’ gender reveal party, I was daydreaming about cookies (I’m 100 percent serious) and another gender reveals cookie came to me… Hedgehogs… with hair-bows… and bow-ties! And then, the perfect pun: “Hedge your bets!” Well, not perfectly punny, but pretty close. Plus, it’s a little cheesy and […]
Wedding Dress Cookies for a Summer Bridal Shower
In addition to lacey heart sugar cookies, I whipped up a couple dozen wedding dress cookies for a bridal shower thrown by my East Coast homegirl. I can’t tell you how much I love this dress cutter. Its the cutest wedding dress cutter around. Unlike most other dress cutters which include an insanely huge bust above […]
Hippo Cookies for Ozzy’s First Birthday
Quinn’s toddler friend Ozzy just celebrated his first birthday, which was exactly the excuse I was looking for to make these ca-ray-zee cute hippo sugar cookies! I spotted them at Sweet Sugar Belle’s blog and started hunting through my cookie cutters to find something that might work for a hippo head. When I found the skull cookie […]
Basic Cookie Cutter Shapes: A Rectangular Frankenstein for Halloween!
I originally wanted to make scary Frankenstein cookies. A little something different in the world of cute cookies, but when it came time to pipe on Frankenstein’s face, I just couldn’t resist a cutesy smile. I think cute is simply more “me” than scary. Well, at least I hope so! Plus, it shows Frankie’s lovable […]
Summer Lovin’ Beachy Heart Cookies!
Ya’ll may remember the Sand Castle Cookies cookies I posted back on my due date. Well, I loved them so much and wanted to make an accompanying cookie that had all the same pretty beach elements, but with a more grown-up look. Something that could work for a destination or beach wedding, a summer bridal shower, or a […]
Fancy Fleur-de-Lis Cookies
I love baking all kinds of cookies, but I’m sure its no surprise to ya’ll that the blank canvas of a sugar cookie makes my heart sing. It’s truly a cookie for every occasion, just waiting to be customized in a way that makes their recipient smile. For my aunt’s birthday, I wanted her cookies […]
