Compared to my last several posts.....this is going to be a fairly short one. ;-)
I did lots of "repeat" cookies yesterday, so I don't have very much new to show you, but here goes......
I made the froggies again. I love these little guys. I am improving in my hand cutting technique. One dear lady gave me a great idea of making my template out of a lid from a plastic butter dish or cool whip, etc. So I tried it and it works well. And when your done, you can just wash it until next time. She also suggested I use my little fondant rotary tool to cut out the shape, but that didn't work very well for me.....mainly because my dough was rather soft this time. Maybe when I have a firmer dough it will work. (Great idea, though!)
New butterfly designs. :-) It's pretty easy to make these different every time you make them.
Stitched flowers again......but I love them so much, I can't help sharing my latest ones. ;-)
OK.....so I went out on a limb and tried something new. Since Mothers Day is next Sunday (can you believe it is just 9 days away?????) I wanted to try to do a unique mothers day cookie. This works OK.....but I definitely want to improve it next week when I do cookies for several orders. (Callye gave me this great idea in the first place.) The only thing is that it was rather time consuming with the lettering and filling in around it. I'm going to try to figure out an efficient way to do it and change up the colors some.
My first "real" daisies. Don'tcha just love daisies? They always make me smile. :-)
I received some much needed advice about my incorrect snails, so here is the new and improved version.
And finally......a nother one of those fun, colorful shots of lots of my smaller cookies. :-)
Until next time.....
