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 […]
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 […]
Sprinkle-y Pink Easter Bunny Cookies
A couple years back right before Easter, I picked up the most adorable pastel-colored nonpareils at Target.

I first used these sprinkles on this set of bunny cookies and have been itching to re-make and revise […]
Mr. & Ms. Shamrock Cookies for St. Patrick’s Day

Last year, I was a bit lazy and decided to ride on the coattails of my awesome cookie friends’ creations, but this year, […]
My Sweet Little Sprinkles Cake
This year for Mother’s Day, Ben made a lovely breakfast for Quinn and me, but sadly had to spend the rest of the day working on the landscaping. We’ve been remodeling our house for three years and we’re so dying to be done (and we nearly are, hallelujah!), so I was 100 percent okay with […]
Silly Chilly Polar Bear Cookies for Any Cookie Cutter
When I think of Christmas, I think about gray clouds, snowmen, dark evenings, sparkly snowflakes, and woodsy-smelling pine trees. I also think about polar bears because they make for many cute cookie designs, including these polar bear buddies that got caught in a snowstorm. They have scarves though so they don’t mind. This cookie design rocks for two reasons. […]
