Haha! It's funny, I was just about to say in another thread... here everyone thinks I'm so funny, and in my real life, people think I'm hilarious once they get to know me... but at first they are very intimidated by me.

Wow, Nancy, your cookies are awesome!!! You are an artist. Do you have a book? If not, you should have one. Your cookies are an inspiration to me. I hope someday I´ll do something half as beautiful as your cookies.

Nancy..........that Repunzel cookie is beautiful! I never thought of decorating cookies with all those different textures. It adds so much to the cookies. I will have to try it myself to see if it works....(for me). Amazing!!

Thank you Gapi---from Ecuador!!!!! How cool is that
No, I don't have a book. Maybe someday. Thanks for thinking I could.
Your cookies and cakes are beautiful!!!! Love that dragonfly!!

Melvira,
Ummmm, maybe if you stopped " popping peoples heads like disposable piping bags" when you first meet them! Just a thought

Cyndi1207,
Thank you! Yeah, 3-D cookies are fun. Try it!!!

Hey, I used to have a chipper little saying on there, but people kept acting like a-holes, so I had to lay down the law!!

On a serious note, just for reference, approximately how large is that rapunzel cookie? I just wanted to get a basic idea of scale. It's neat to kind of visualize!

Nancy, those are super, wonderful, fantastic, etc, etc, etc, cookies. Words cannot describe how fabulous it is. I showed it to my daughter and she just stood there with her mouth open and could not believe that was a picture of a cookie. Then she asked how come I don't make cookies like that!!

BarbaraK,
Thank you--Very Much
You and your daughter are sweet but she needs to look at her mom's cookies again 'cause they're always FANTASTIC !!! Tell her fancynancy said so!!!

I made you go down to the basement??!! Be glad I didn't make your pasty butt crawl out in the *gasp* sunlight!!! *hissss* *spit*

That is a huuuuge cookie! Mmmmm more to enjoy!

Edited to add: BTW... I was up partying last night... my baby stayed at Grandma's house for the night, so I stayed up late watching food network (What is it about Alton Brown??) and missing my baby!!

Nancy your cookies are insanely awesome!!!! I'm speechless!!!! I showed them to my son and his friends and their jaws dropped! Your talent is beyond words! Please write a book someday, it will be a best seller no doubt!

cookiecreations,
You and the kids are making me blush
Thank you all for the very, very nice comments.
And coming from you--I'm honored!!! Your cookies have always been some of my most favorites. Your Army guys are THE BEST!!!!! Your whole collection is great but a few more favorites are the Gnomes and that plate of Baby Shower cookies WOW!!!!!
My best,
Nancy

Wow, I just saw your Rapunzel cookie!!! It's amazing, it should be framed!
Have you illustrated any children's books?
I can just picture your cookies in a picture book.

Melvira,
Just saw your edit. Partying with Alton Brown--WOO HOO! ( He's a little manic for me) Now Tyler Florence---MMMMMM He cooks for me in my dreams. ( No, he ACTUALLY cooks for me--stop thinking that
)
Kiss your sweet baby for me. You are SO lucky. I'd give ANYTHING to have my 13 year old daughter be a baby again

Hi Leslie, (mitsel
Thank you! Well, since no one is going to eat these things I might as well hang them up!! ( They're all getting dusty with flour on the top shelf of my bakers rack)
Yes, thank you for asking--I used to be an illustrator and did a bunch of kids stuff--books,toys,puzzles,etc. That kind of work dried up a bit after 20 years so I fell into cookie decorating when I saw a help wanted sign in a bakery window and worked there for a couple of years. ( Sorry--more than you asked for )
Again, thank you
Nancy

WOW Nancy! I am speechless!!

Do we vote for winners or is it just for fun?

it's just for fun kelrak.

Jeeze nancy I just had my jaw wired when it broke hitting the keyboard over your henry the 8th cookie lol now you show me the rapunzal ouch I can feel that jaw starting to hurt lol Your cookies are awsome !!!

Ok only 2 days left and then we start on a theme for may I cant wait lol But lets hope we get more than we had for april. C'mon people fire up those ovens !!!!! lol I'm already thiking maybe flowers and butterflies or just mother nature in general (omg just thought watch nancy go and do a whole scene of mother nature herself with all these little helpers around her lol)

darcat,
You are too,too nice Now MY jaw is hurting from smiling at your very funny postings. And yeah, whatever the May topic ends up being, I'll feel obnoxiously compelled to over do it shamelessly.
But I LOVE,LOVE,LOVE seeing what other cookie decorators do. I think this creative outlet--our monthly club--is the coolest thing goin' on!!!!
So people! Listen to darcat!!!!!---and fire up them ovens for May!!!

I hope you can stand one more low quality submission... cuz I made some last night/this morning for a local 'celeb' race car driver, he is called "The King of the Road" so I thought that would qualify!

OM OM OMG! OK, I've been away for a couple days (virus in my laptop ) and OMG, NANCY, really, again, NO WORDS, just in AWE! I LOVE your Rapunzel cookie, it is AMAZING!

Melvira, how cute is that race car, I wish I had your creativity to associate a JD truck and a race car to royalty... I've been thinking and thinking, and nope, it is official, no imagination! I guess I just can't think outside the cookie cutter....

Awesome work ladies!
