Happy 1st Birthday A.!!!

A.'s mom was having a winterONEderland party for her first birthday and got in touch with me to do some cookies for her. I was so excited and got on it right away.

I ended up using an edible food coloring marker for the black on the snowmen sine the black accents I've been doing with icing just keep popping off. Plus it tastes so much better than icing full of food coloring.

All ready to go!!

Happy 18th Birthday A.!!!

Happy New Year!!!

Ready to bring on 2013 with some sweets!!! I used an awesome recipe that I LOVE (and everyone else seems to love them too!) They are called Perfect Vanilla Cupcakes which I found thanks to interest & you can get here: http://www.glorioustreats.com/2011/07/perfect-vanilla-cupcakes-recipe.html . I thought a snowman cookie would look perfect placed on top... you can never have too much sugar! haha!!

I started playing with the settings on the new camera I got for Christmas! Its perfect because it has a food setting!!! I couldn't wait to try it out when I saw it! I knew I had to bake something immediately when we got back from vacation.

This setting puts the foreground in focus & blurs the background.

This setting makes the picture a sketch.

This one extracts the red hues.

This setting takes the picture as a watercolor painting.

This camera is definitely going to add a little excitement to my pics! Love it!!!
