As the snow was falling from the sky yesterday, these gingerbread snowflakes were adorning my kitchen table. I sat there for hours, my pastry bag filled with royal icing, having too much fun decorating each and every one. I had baked the cookies a couple of weeks ago, and stored them (undecorated) in the freezer. […]

Tonight is our “Bayberry Babes” birthday girls night out but, as you can see, I did not bake the cake. Instead, I made these high heel sugar cookies as a take-home favor for each of the gals. I’m really getting into this cut-out-and-decorate sugar cookie thing…although, I’m not sure exactly WHY. The baking and the […]
This past Christmas, Little a gave me one of my all-time favorite gifts. Presented in a small, decorative holiday box were five little bottles of gel food color, five little pots of gorgeous luster dust, and one little pot of hot pink disco dust! The gel colors were a great addition to my colorful collection, […]
