Things have been a bit crazy around here the past few weeks. Raptor and I have been trading illness back and forth which has resulted in a bit of a forced bloging break. I’m back though! I’m still working on my October Daily; I’m a little over halfway done and I’m hoping I can knock it out in the next week or so. My big question currently is if I should post it now or wait for next October… I also finally decided on my December Daily structure and ordered some supplies! More on that later. (If they ever arrive.)
It’s confession time. While I love to bake, I don’t love making sugar cookies. Among the multiple reasons is the fact that I don’t want 5 dozen cookies hanging around my house waiting for me to eat them! Frozen dough makes 2 dozen. Much more reasonable. Next time I might freeze half and just do 1 dozen.
I also have a serious sprinkle addiction. I have 6 different sprinkles for Christmas alone.
Also? I love that Wilton coloring gel that comes in little pots. I mean, how else are you going to get RED icing. True red, not pink. And yes, I fully get the hypocrasy of my cookie decorating obsession given my general neuroses about high fructose corn syrup and food dye. What can I say, I’m not dying icing with beet juice. In for a penny, in for a pound and all that jazz.
I just love the level of concentration!
This one is supposed to be The Grinch. Notice the Christmas tree eyes, candy cane nose, and snowflake hair and teeth. Or maybe the sugar sprinkles were the hair? Still, *awesome!*
The whole Raptor family is having a food overhaul in January (well, maybe not little Raptor. She eats pretty well, Christmas cookis excluded.) so we’re living it up now.
