CookieCrazie's Week in Review












_________________________________________________

Personal Side


Another good week of cookie decorating.
I did FIVE versions of Indian corn this week.....lol
I"m trying to redeem that awful attempt I had a few weeks ago.

And then I made some pumpkins and some Thanksgiving pies.
Fun!

We started learning our Christmas music in church choir......
so that makes me feel a little better about starting Christmas cookies next week.
I'm going to be scouring over saved photo ideas and
then google lots of things to put in cookie form. 
The planning stage is so fun. 
Once I get the "plan".......and start making the cookies.....
I have a "freak out" stage where I start saying, "What was I thinking?!".
But usually by taking one step at a time.....
and learning to make good on things that don't necessarily turn out as planned.....
and PRAYING TONS......
the cookies turn out the way they are supposed to.
It may not be as I envisioned, but then.....it's not about me. ;)

November 1.......wow. 
As my mother-in-law just said to me on the phone.....
it is going to be Thanksgiving before you know it
and then suddenly Christmas will be here.
Yep. It happens over and over.
The time is flipping by so quickly.

Savor the moments.
Today....I took time to go out on the porch with a hot drink and 
sit and listen to the rain falling.
It was only a few moments......but it was such a joy to stop and savor.





Instagram photos for this week:


So thankful for a new day and a blessed life. :)

 One of my cookie projects this week.... Any guesses?

Happy Monday! 

 Preparing for spring....
A nice change from autumn colors. :)

Birthday Cake Slice Cookies (Tutorial)





To continue with the Happy Birthday theme......
how about a slice of cake.
Mmmmmm
Oh wait, it's really a cookie. :)

My slice of cake cutter came from Ecrandal....
but there's a similar one at Cristin'sCookies
and a plainer one at CheapCookieCutters.

Forgive me for failing to take more than one photo of the decorating process.
Sometimes.....I'm trying to do too much at once. Can you relate?

Outline the top, side and bottom of the cake slice.
Flood the top and side sections.

After the "icing" on the cake has dried thoroughly (30+ min)
flood the center of the cake with white glaze
(or a different color if you want a different flavor than "vanilla cake").

Wait at least 30 min and then add a frilly piped edge to the outer top of the cake.
For more texture, outline the edges.

And if you are as crazie as I am.....
add some black marker and painted white gel accents to the dried cookie.
