Simple paw print cookies for a function at work.


LilaLoa's chocolate cookies with coconut icing.  They were really good. 

Enjoy!

    How is the chocolate recipe from lilaloa? I've heard lots of good things, but haven't tried it yet. Is it very chocolate-y or just a hint of chocolate? Super cute paws!

      Thanks for the comment! Yes, the LilaLoa chocolate cookies are VERY chocolatey. In fact, we usually eat them without icing. They're like little brownies.

Blogiversary Giveaway (Closed)

Image
It's my first Blogiversary!  And to celebrate the completion of my first year as an official Blogger (can I add that to my resume now?), I am having a little giveaway.  Nothing much, just some fun cookie stuff I got at the local cake decorating store.  They have everything and I love them.  And they've been around for decades.  So they really know their stuff. I picked up some cookie cutters.  America, a hummingbird, a frog and a butterfly.  It has been really hard to let the last three go (if you read this blog with any regularity, you know I already have the America cutter), and I may have to go back for more cutters soon. Disco Dust!  Peacock, Raspberry and Rainbow.  A second peacock may have fallen into my shopping basket by mistake. CK Meringue Powder.  I've never tried it, but I've heard great things.  I used a different brand for Christmas cookies (Lorann) and it was pretty great.  It didn't have the ...

Turtle Birthday Cake

Image
Ha!  Fooled you!  It's not a chocolate and caramel and pecan birthday cake. (Although that would be lovely, in my opinion.)  It's a cake shaped like a turtle!! Because that's what the boy wanted. I was actually quite happy with how it turned out. I got the idea off of Pinterest, of course. The design as a whole is a mash-up of two different cakes that I saw. I wanted to do more on the base cake, but I was literally finishing up the border as we walked out the door. My time management wasn't the best with this one. The square cake is two giant layers of lemon cake, torted, with two layers of home-made lemon curd filling and one layer of buttercream filling. It was gigantic. It stood almost 5 1/2 inches high (not including the turtle on top) and was incredible heavy. I should have weighed it. The turtle is a 6" round cake, vanilla-almond with buttercream filling. We served it at the party and then I took the rest to work on Monday. It was pretty good. I...

How to Make Sugared Lime Cupcake Toppers out of Fondant

Image
Today I made sugared lime slices for some cupcakes I'll be doing later this week.  Of course, this being a baking blog, they are not made of lime.  They're fondant.  Here's a sneak peek at the finished product: They're a little wonky in the middle, but I think they're kind of cute.  I needed to make about four dozen, so I decided to use a technique I learned when I dabbled in polymer clay many years ago.  But then I had a baby.  And polymer clay fell by the wayside.  But then I discovered fondant.  Yay fondant! So here's how I did them: (Please excuse the awful photos.  I am a baker, not a photographer.) First, I colored fondant lime green (dark and light) and left some white.   If you try this you're going to need way more white and dark green than I have pictured.  Just sayin'.   I used Cake Craft Lime Green, but you can use whatever.  Americolor Electric Green is also lovely. Put t...
