thanks chelsea for the close-ups! i think these are lovely!

i am travelling right now but i am home monday night so i am going to try and squeak some on for april . if i fail at that, i will go for being an early poster for may .

You can do it! Time it right, you can squeak some in for April aaaaaaaaaand be the first poster for May!

i was thinking if i could kill two birds with one stone (or one batch of cookies), lol.

susan, do you know what theme you are choosing?

diane

Ooooh, I must have missed an email -- had no idea more cookies had been posted! Chelseak, those cookies are stunning -- LOVE the apple blossom trees! Very eye-catching color scheme.

Nautical/beach -- cool theme! Hmmmmm.......

Thanks!!

Jeez, I could really get into this cookie club thing... What to make for May...?? I do love the beach, and I live right by it, so I MUST be able to come up with something cool....

SUPER EXCITED about the May cookie theme! I missed this month because I had a baby last week and have been a little busy, lol!! We're celebrating my son's 3rd birthday in May and his party theme is "beach." Now I have even more of a reason to go all-out with his cookies

Congratulations chefjulie!!!

Give your new baby a kiss for me, ChefJulie, and congratulations to you and your family!!!! (Can you tell that I LOOOOOVE babies?!)

Thanks, ladies!!!

Gemini, I also have a 4 1/2 year old daughter!!! Life is chaotic, at best

chefjulie, I get tired just thinking about how busy you must be!

chelseak, I forgot to tell you how beautiful your cookies are! LOVE the colors, and the designs are very striking.

Congrats, chefjulie!

I almost bought a KopyKake projector at a garage sale once... (From a lady who'd had a lifelong career as a cake decorator who was then retiring.) I now KICK myself for not buying it!!!!

At the risk of looking stupid, can I ask how a projector's used to make cookies?

A projector can project an image to much larger or much smaller it's original size. You use the larger part for cakes and shrink the images with the projector for cookies.

Ok, I'm a procrastinator I know...........but I made it!!!


Here are a couple cookies for a little bouquet I"m doing.....she said "do whatever, we're just going to eat them" lol

she wanted "spring" themed so that works!

The 3 bigger cookies are SUPPOSED to look like tulips that are varrigated (sp?) you know.....kinda streaked.......not too easy to pull across with icing!

I have another "seed packet" cookie that's not decorated yet (you can see my edible marker kinda popped through the icing a little on different sections so I'm waiting to do the other one!


edited to add that the one tulip on the right where the outline is raised........I'm making another one that's flat like the other two......kinda liked that look better!

So, so cute, KHalstead -- I love them!!!

Khalstead, those are lovely...I think they look quite like tulips...good job!

Very cute!

Wow, these are some beautiful cookies! Maybe for May I will be able to do some.

thanks guys..........ok, here is my other seed packet

This cookie is like 1" by 1" square the're so little.

My 6 yr. old daughter drew the roses....I KID YOU NOT!!!

That's why I wanted the icing nice and dry! She amazes me.......you should see her cake sketches! lol

love the seed packets (and WOW you do have an artist!) and the tulips... the variegated looks really good!

No way!! Your daughter is amazing and of course a great asset to your cookies!! Wow!

chefjulie, congrats!! Hope you and the baby are doing fine.

You sure start training them young, KHalstead! Yes, she is quite the "budding" (haha!) artist, indeed.

Your cookies are very cool -- the tulips almost look like brush embroidery. Is that sanding sugar in the center of the yellow flower? The tiny seed packets are sweet. (How the heck do you decorate a cookie that is one inch square?!?!? -- I guess a SIX-year-old's fingers are small enough to do that, but mine sure aren't!
