Spring Flowers

Flowers have always been one of my least favorite cookies to make until now.  No matter how many different cutters or designs I have used, I was just never very happy with them.

Fortunately, SweetSugarbelle, has designed a flower cookie cutter that has finally allowed me to make a simple, pretty flower that I like.  In addition, thanks to Miss Doughmestic, I was able to turn the simple rose into a pretty dogwood flower.

Hap-BEE Birthday

Last year when my special friend, Mr. C, celebrated his 100th birthday, I made traditional designs that included candles, cakes and balloons.  Although we will not be traveling to Ohio for a big celebration this year, I wanted to honor him on his 101st birthday and re-purposed a set that I have made before. 

Sending love, hugs and cookies across the miles. Hap-BEE birthday and BEE well!

Aileen Master graciously gave me permission to use her heart/bee design when I made them back in 2010.

Kyle's Time To Shine

Great-nephew, Kyle, recently received the "You Make A Difference" Award at his high school.

Last spring when I made cookies for his 8th grade graduation I used a pirate theme and suggested that  treasures awaited in high school.  Clearly, he is digging into that "treasure chest" of high school academics and activities, getting involved, and doing his best work.

Way to go, Kyle!
