Christmas and some cookies

Okay… finally, the post from last weekend. My camera never did wake up by the way. But I did manage to get all the photos off using a friend’s card reader. Yay! Unfortunately, no built in card readers on my printer or computer… Boo!

And, I would have posted this last night, but I spent the evening at Pioneer Woman’s book signing in Atlanta. Fun! Fun! More on that soon. Thankfully, I did have a working camera with me for that. A brand new Canon Digital Rebel XSi that I borrowed. It’s nice having generous friends. But, I kinda wish I hadn’t started using it. I might not be able to give it back. Bigger screen, More megapixels. And I’ve convinced myself the photo quality is far superior. It is. I know it is. Maybe my camera will be unfixable. Is that a word?

Anyway, here’s the goods or goodies from last weekend.

It’s coming up on Christmas, so I wanted to make some decorated sugar cookies. But I didn’t really want to make traditional Christmas shapes. So instead, I used a cute little cupcake cutter I recently bought. I also went with a less than traditional color scheme and chocolate sugar cookies to help make the colors pop.

Cookies

I love sugar cookies. Too bad I love them more than they love me. I’m still trying to perfect my piping. I will not give up. I will have non-lumpy lines one day.

Cookies

These were two of the better ones.

Cookies

These … not so much. But squint and they’ll look better.

Snowflake Sprinkles

See …… Okay, I’m kidding. I kid. These are the good ones. Well, the better ones anyway.

Mess

It helps to plan ahead when you work with royal icing. Draw out the colors you want for borders and the colors you want to fill with in advance.

Cookies

The cookie recipe is from the book, Cookie Craft. Get a copy if you have any desire to learn how to make these kind of decorated cookies. It’s jam-packed with tips and tricks.

Or maybe you’ll win this.

Cookie Stuff

Yes, the original Cookie Craft came out with a mini Cookie Craft Christmas book.

Christmas Craft

Also with recipes, ideas, and tips. It’s very cute. And small, which you know I like.

Cupcake Cookie Cutters

You’ll also get this cute 2-piece cupcake cookie cutter set. Love it!

Cupcake Stencils

And some cupcake stencils. You can use these on cookies, too.

Cake Tester

A cupcake-shaped cake tester. This totally unnecessary utensil was too cute to pass up.

Mini Cupcake Spatulas

And so were these mini spatulas. I bought all the goodies (except for the cookie book I picked up at the bookstore) from Crate & Barrel if you want to look them up. I like finding cute things. Hope you like them, too.

Stuffed

And it all comes stuffed in a sparkly stocking.

  1. A new camera!! I asked for a Nikon Coolpix S620, which will be a fantastic little point-and-shoot. But…..what I really want deep down is a Canon XSi. I’ve been dying for a digital SLR…

  2. I want to be able to stay home with the family and enjoy the day. With smiles on the boys faces and laughter in the air!!!

We will head south the day after Christmas.

  3. I would like to never have to go back to work so I can stay home with my almost 3 year old twins. Please Santa!!!

  4. I want to be able to move safely, without incident…or accident. But, most of all, to just enjoy spending time with my family. My husband has done two back to back tours in Iraq. Having him home for the holidays is the best present my children & I could get.

  17. I want to find something that would make my husband say “That is Awesome”, I strive for that ‘I’ve-out-geeked-you’ moment with him.

    You have inspired me to go to higher places with baking, decorating and PHOTOGRAPHING! I do want a peaceful time within my home, my family around to enjoy and lots of fresh baked goodies. I would like a “real” digital camera, with exchangable lens.(all suggestions greatly appreciated!) I just don’t get the clarity and sharpness as I would like, with my little Kodak Easy Share. All in all, even if Santa is shy on funds and I don’t get a new camera–if my family is near by and we can share with each other, that will be GREAT! I will be blessed. Thank YOU, Bakerella for blessing me with your blog. (((hugs)))–Michelle in CO

  179. I want to finish the semester and not pull out my hair! And a nook. :-)

  180. Cute cookies….. I want a new kitchen for Christmas! I’ll settle for a renovation plan for it though :-)

  181. Oh, that would be soooo much fun to win! What I want for Christmas is for my family to stay healthy and my husband and I to keep our jobs… never know for sure how long they will last right now. I also would love a copy of Pioneer Woman’s recipe book.

  182. I want a relaxing holiday snuggled up with the family by the fire, playing board games and eating tons of yummy baked stuff.

    I’d love to get a telescope for Christmas! :)

  183. What an adorable giveaway! Those cookies are precious!! I don’t want anything for Christmas, we were blessed with being able to provide nice Christmas gifts for my children so thats enough for me.

  184. My biggest Christmas wish will remain unspoken (or I guess unwritten), but a good sugar cookie recipe and an iPod Touch would be nice too. ;)

  185. I want a llama. I’m pretty sure I can convince my husband it is just an oversized dog that is softer and can carry things

  186. I want to of course spend time with my family and help my daughter with her Santa gift (Cake Bakery). Other than that there is nothing on my Christmas list. Always love your decorating!!

  187. I did a sarcastic blog today on 5 ways to have a stressful holiday season. But honestly, I want to enjoy the time with family and achieve a peaceful acceptance of what I can not change.
    Your cookies are beautiful and the pictures are stunning.

  188. This Christmas I want to just enjoy having my family healthy and happy. Our infant son had major unexpected surgery a few months ago and this Holiday Season we are constantly thanking the powers above for the problem being found and fixed so there will be no long-term consequences. I want to enjoy our little family and spend some real quality time together with my husband home and me not having to sit in my office just watching the kids play…I want to soak up the day WITH them…

    And I’d love to win this lovely prize…I LOVE more baking goodies =)

  189. I have been campaigning for a Kindle for months.

  190. I want to find the perfect present to give my husband. He always puts so much thought into giving me gifts and I want to make his Christmas special!

  191. I would love a new kitchen so i can bake, dip, cook and decorate in one spot and a large kitchen book self to hold my addiction to cook books. I Need nothing..have a great husband, kids, house… life. Hmm maybe one more cookie cook book…

  192. A new camera to document my first trip to San Fran in over ten years! And maybe a few classes to learn how to use it :)

  193. I love love love cookies and cupcakes!! what a great project! Your piping is beautiful!!
