Wild animals!

Over the last week, my kitchen has been overrun with wild animals!

There were also alligators and snakes, but no photographs were made of them. It's quiet now...all critters have been sent to other homes.

Leopards and Zebras on Cookies, Oh My!

Earlier this year, we celebrated a co-worker's birthday fashionably:

I gave the zebra cookies 'red toenails'! The leopard print shoes specifically matched the fabric design on the gift we gave her [an iPad sleeve], down to the red lining on the shoes. This was my first effort at doing animal prints and it was a lot of fun! The zebra print doesn't just have to be on white - the base color can be any other color to match a theme.

Cookie flavors used were vanilla bean and chocolate mocha.

Bremen Town Musicians

Sabrina, the children's librarian at the C E Weldon Library, asked me to make cookies for the Readers' Theater parent reception earlier this week. After delivering them, I realized I hadn't taken any photos of them. Sabrina was at the ready and took these photos for me:

The buttery sweet dough-flavored scalloped circles and squares were decorated with music notes and clef signs as a nod to the storyline [the animals leave their lives on the farm and head for the city to become musicians]. I looked through all the animal cutters I had and - amazingly! - found a donkey, dog and cat, but no rooster. The first tray above contains animal cookies and their 'music' sounds.

Thank you, Sabrina, for asking me to do this!
