Though my blog may not reflect this, I’ve actually been really busy baking these days! In fact, I’ve been designing really fun cakes for some of my closest friends, which makes for the most rewarding baking of all. Pardon the lack of carefully staged photos. With my gals napping less, meticulously planned, well-executed photo sessions haven’t been […]
No Lion, You’re Hot Valentine!
First off, all lion puns are horrible. Google “lion puns”. You’ll agree. Alas, corny puns abound for Valentine’s Day and I’m not about to buck the trend, so… No Lion! You’re hot valentine! Really, this is just a silly excuse for me to make the lion cookie design I’ve been chewing on for months. Heart nose. Wee whiskers. Curly mane. Happy […]
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.

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 […]
Polar Teddy Bear Cookies: You’ve Got All Day for a Dozen Cookies, So Why Not?
I’m not going to lie to you. These cookies were a real bear. Pun intended, but for real, they took a long arse time. I nearly gave up on photographing the tutorial about halfway through as I was getting a serious case of the lazies. I didn’t though and I’m very glad for that because […]

Several weeks ago Hani of Haniela’s and Mike of Semi Sweet Designs contacted me and a few other bloggers with the fabulous idea of throwing a virtual baby shower for our friend Jennifer from Not Your Momma’s Cookie.

Leggo My Eggo! The Weirdest Sugar Cookies Ever
So you may have noticed that I’ve been missing-in-action on the blog for way too long. I’ve been fighting this mini-sabbatical every step of the way, trying to muster up the energy for cookie-ing, but I just couldn’t make it happen. You see, a few months ago, one of these guys won the big race… […]
