CookieCrazie's Week in Review

_________________________________________________

Personal Side

I did a small batch of cookies this week.....and did several experiments.

I discovered something new that I'm super excited about!

Glaze icing is so fun to work with. :)

Now I need to turn all my attention toward preparation for CookieCon.

There are class notes to make, lists to make (yes, I'm a list maker!),

cookies to bake and decorating, gifts to make, packing, packing, packing.....etc. 

And once again, anticipation is the best part!

I am so excited about this third CookieCon. :)

And more good news......September is next week, and that means AUTUMN!!!!

That's my favorite time of year.

Red Velvet Cookie Collection

Red Velvet Cake......a flavor I've not really had opinion about one way or another in the past.
But my newest son-in-law, Joe, is CRAZIE about red velvet ANYthing.

And so.....being the crazie mother-in-law that I am, haha,
I had to make him some red velvet cookies.

Now these are not just red velvet-flavored cookies with cream cheese-flavored glaze.......
they also LOOK like red velvet cakes and cupcakes.
I've got to keep up the reputation with the newest member of our family, ya know. ;)


After researching red velvet cut-out cookies, I decided to try SugarBelle's recipe.
Her recipe includes Lorann's Red Velvet Emulsion.


And then I had the idea to add Lorann's Cream Cheese Emulsion to my glaze recipe.
This just in from the official taste testers........the combination is declared a winner. :)


Upon researching photos of red velvet concoctions,
it seemed reasonable to grate some naked red velvet cookies and use them as a garnish.

The filler cookies in the birthday cookie platter were rectangle cookies,

flooded with white (cream cheese-flavored) glaze, and red velvet cookie crumbs sprinkled on top.

Adding a tiny amount of water to white edible clay allowed me to pipe

fun decorations on the red velvet "cake on a pedestal" cookie. :)

Happy Birthday Joe!

You are one in a million and I love you tons. :)
