Valentine's Cookies!

I was glad to have an opportunity to make Valentine's Day cookies. We attended a game night at one of my high school friend's house last night. Everyone was expected to bring something. And of course, I bring cookies. My friend Andrea brought beer bread which was yummy, and Jose brought homemade taquitos, also very good. I found out last night, that I am amazing at the PS3 game Singstar, and that Ron was not willing to do it with me. He cannot come out of his comfort zone. Grr. Anyways, the cookies were a hit, and I tried some different designs, deciding to do them all with "wet" designs, i.e. designs that are done while the flooded icing is still wet.

A weekend of cookies

This past weekend was a busy one for me. Lots of cookie making, some for fun (the Superbowl) and others for "work." I was asked by my boss to make a platter of snowflakes for the Worcester Shakespeare Club! Finally a non-work or family related group enjoying my cookies! Last week during the snowstorm I made some snowflake cookies for my co-workers, and when my boss saw them, she asked for me to make some for her club meeting this week. Of course I obliged. While making these cookies, I thought "Snowflakes are nice, but what could I make that's Shakespearian?" Well, I made a book template and tested a couple. As you see, my piped writing needs some a lot of work, so maybe next time I will be able to make them.
