☕️ NO TEA SET IS COMPLETE WITHOUT A TEACUP! ☕️ You’ve now seen my teapot and sugar bowl cookies (scroll back a week or so if you missed them), so it’s clearly time to complete the tea triumvirate with a cup of tea (cookie, that is)! When I first made this project several years ago, I thought the two-part cup construction was pretty darn clever – and I still do! LOL!

🎉🥚 HAVE YOUR PANORAMA EGG AND EAT IT TOO! 🥚🎉 Most panorama eggs are purely keepsakes, as they are made of cast sugar (granulated sugar and water) that dries rock hard. But this panorama egg is made of contoured cookie dough dipped in royal icing, so it’s completely edible! Even the decoupaged embellishments on the outside are edible wafer paper and gold leaf! Yep, you can have this egg and/or eat it too! Though this project might look complicated, trust me, it goes a lot faster than you migh

🎅🏻 SANTA’S ON HIS WAY! 🎅🏻 I recently paid tribute to the oft-overlooked Mrs. Claus (scroll back a few days to see that 3-D cookie), and, today, I’m sharing a cookie scene where you’d be more likely to find good ol’ Santa Claus. When I first made this vignette (all from cookies and various forms of icing), I wanted to make it so cozy and magical that I could envision myself waiting here for Santa’s arrival. So I set to work . . . from the royal icing candelabra on the mantel to Santa’s “coal”

❄️🌎 A SNOW GLOBE YOU CAN EAT! 🌎❄️ Yes, you can – it’s all cookie, royal icing, and a touch of fondant for the vignette inside! If you saw my 3-D ornament cookie posted last week, then you’ll immediately recognize that this cookie uses the same dough contouring and dipping techniques. A few other tricks are involved with cutting out the window and making the vignette, but I have all of the tools to help you do just that. First, there’s the in-depth video tutorial (first link below) that’s NOW O

🍪🥧 PUMPKIN PIE OR COOKIES AT THANKSGIVING?! 🥧🍪 As you know, I’m a fan of cookies – and when the cookies are 3-D, even better! So for me, this 3-D retro oven cookie beats pumpkin pie, hands down. And what Thanksgiving guest wouldn’t welcome a break with tradition if it meant getting this clever and unexpected cookie treat! I filled my oven cookie with a 3-D turkey cookie, but simpler cookies or candies could be used instead. This short reel touches (very quickly) on how I made each of the ove

🪄Yes, looks can be deceiving! 🪄 With a little sleight of hand, ordinary cookies can be turned into magical works of art – this project being a case in point! Here, I took my Cutout Cookie Gingerbread and then contoured and dipped it in royal icing to make the fancy bottles’ sides. I molded the same dough to make the bottles’ towering handles. Lastly, I spritzed everything with gold luster spray and arranged scads of royal icing transfers on top. The end look, though not initially intended, is

BTW, the correct answers were: 14 cookies and 39 white transfers! The winner of this challenge was notified yesterday and is announced below in my first comment under this post! (Woo hoo!) While t

🤪 CRAZY FOR CLEMATIS 🤪 My real clematis are just beginning to pop right now, which couldn’t make me happier! Their emergence is also what got me thinking about my cookie versions of them, which I posted in photo-form yesterday. As promised then, today I’m sharing a reel and a full-length tutorial showing how I made them. As with all of my flowers in my botanical series, each part of this flower is made with royal icing, as a transfer. Many of its pieces are contoured (aka shaped), and all have

❄️ WISHFUL THINKING? 🔜🌸 Here in Missouri, snow usually fades in late February, paving the way for the earliest flower bulbs to pop and marking the start of my favorite season – SPRING! Though this year, the thermometer is still hovering around the teens at night, so perhaps it’s premature to think that my snowdrops will appear in my garden any time soon?! Maybe so, but I’m hoping to hasten the season along (at least in my kitchen) by making my favorite snowdrop cookies again! Interested in fol

NEW KIT! I’m back with another early Christmas gift – my third stencil-cutter-video kit in my new Kitchen Club Collection, designed in partnership with Confection Couture Stencils! I dare say that this kit might just be my favorite so far. It’s super easy to stencil; the stencils look great with a minimum of colors; and the 3-D project is infinitely scalable, allowing you to build it as tall (or as short) as you’d like using a simple pyramid construction technique.
