I have wanted to design my own cutters for… well… pretty much forever. I have a hard time finding cutters that match the ideas in my head, so I’ve always wanted to make my own. I...
Hey guess what? I’m still alive! I’m embarrassed by the huge lapse of time that has passed since I last wrote, and the longer it goes, the more embarrassing it is to get back to it. I was...

I told you I’d show you really quickly how I pieced together my Indians. It’s super easy, and even easier if you have a plain tombstone cookie cutter, which I didn’t have. I need to...
Thanksgiving is just over a week away, and I have a few more cookies to show you so that you can get decorating! What would Thanksgiving be without Pilgrims and Indians? I’m going to show you h...

Those of you who have followed my work for a while know that I decorate most of my cookies with what I call Meringue Powder Buttercream. I occasionally dabble in other mediums, but I always go back ...
Sometimes I think decorated cookies are so much a part of my kids’ lives that they are no longer impressed and/or interested in them. But every once in a while, they will surprise me. Like the ...

So I said was going to get another post up last Friday. Not the one that just passed yesterday— the one a full week before that. Then I had sick kids, I was sick, and you combine that with tim...

I’ve been talking a lot about my desire to learn to think outside the box a little more. I am always completely blown away by Callye (Sweet SugarBelle) and her ability to make anything out of n...
I’m back from Cookie Camp! I’ve actually been back for a few days, but when a mom goes out of town for five days, it seems like there’s a lot of catch-up, plus I’ve just been ...

We have some winners! Thanks to all who entered. It sounds like there are a lot of Hello Kitty fans out there. As always, I wish I could send a set to everyone who entered. But since I can’t,...
I had the best idea. I had two sets of cookie cutters that I wanted to showcase– One was the Summer Set, and one was the new Hello Kitty set from Wilton. So I thought “Hey! Goodbye Summer...
Oops! So sorry for the delay in announcing the winners! I guess I’ve fallen right off the blog wagon… but I’m hopping back on! I have some fun cookies to share with you! But first, ...

Sorry I’m late announcing the winner! Before I do… there were a few questions in the comments asking what the difference is between regular (Wilton, Ateco, etc) tips and PME tips. There a...
Here’s a little quickie about PME tips. First a little background about me and PME tips. I’m a stubborn person. I learned to decorate cakes and cookies with Wilton and Ateco tips. They wo...
This cake requires some explanation and a little Kelly History lesson. When Kelly was about 18 months old, she discovered “White Baby”. There were actually two babies– White Baby an...
