here's one of the many things i've been up to this week. they came out so cute, i wish they were for us, but i'm sure the pre-k class they were headed to enjoyed them! and luckily there were a few extras to keep around and a little extra dough for mini butterflies by special request from colleen. all three of these designs were pretty easy. i especially love the eggs, because even sticking with two colors, it's easy to make them interesting with pattern--polka dots, stripes, zig zags, etc. not only are these cookies little works of art, but they're yummy, too--butter cut outs with almond flavored royal icing. sometimes my dough bubbles in the oven and i usually try to press them out just before they're finished baking, but we got a kick out of this one and had to leave it alone...
back to work!
