Holidays

Now that all of the craziness of the holidays is over I finally have a few moments to post some of my latest images. First up, Thanksgiving. I have to thank one of my wonderful co-workers for challenging me to make a 3-D centerpiece for her family. I love how this turkey came together. Although, next time I might try to make the entire piece edible. This one has a Styrofoam body and only the feathers and head are edible cookies. It's still pretty darn cute!




Next, Christmas. This is always my craziest holiday, especially since my husband and I try travel to see everyone on each side of our families within 2 days. Every year I like to make something tasty to bring to each house, and this year was no exception. Unfortunately I only had enough time to take pictures of some of my sugar cookie treats because I only budgeted one day to bake! All of my creations were placed in baskets. Along side the cookies you see here were my family's famous Italian anise cookies and some most delicious Oreo cookie balls. Each package was wrapped up and tied off with a bow. I have to give a shout out to 2 of my Secret Santas from work whose gifts are showcased below. One provided me with the adorable ornament cookie cutters (love them!) and the other gave me some new decorating tools. For these cookies I used edible cake tattoos (the stripes and dots). It was easy and they looked awesome! All in all, it was a very yummy holiday season!
