Easter Bonnets

IMG_7684

I’ll just call them Cookie Hats since Easter is now over. I made these this weekend but you can certainly do them for other occasions like Mothers Day. Showers, too. You can change the colors for different themes. Any Red Hat Society peeps out there? These would be fun. I can also see these for a Kentucky Derby party – you could get really creative with them. Or forget the flowers, paint them with silver luster dust and turn them into flying saucers.

I found the instructions for these cuties in a book called Cookie Swap.

IMG_7732

IMG_7736

Here’s what they are supposed to look like. Gorgeous, huh! These are made using royal icing to coat the hat and pipe the perfect little dots. Fondant is used for the flowers and the bands.

Now, I didn’t have extra hours to wait for royal icing to dry when I made these, so I improvised. But, if time weren’t an issue, I’d go royal.

IMG_7691

Instead, I covered the sugar cookie hats in tinted and rolled fondant…

IMG_7654

And used sugar pearls to add detail. To help them stay in place, I used the pearls to press indentations around the hat. Then, I put a tiny amount of water on the sugar pearl and placed it in position.

IMG_7702

Here they are with and without the pearls.

The base of the sugar cookie hats should be rolled thin before baking and the top part of the hat should be thicker to accommodate the fondant band. I used the shortbread sugar cookie recipe in the book, but feel free to use your own recipe and decorate.

Note: To get the fondant and cookie shapes to match in size, I re-cut the cookies with the cutter when I took them out of the oven and while they were still warm because they had spread a little.

You can attach the fondant to the cookies with a little bit of icing and you can attach the fondant flowers with a little dab of water.

Fondant Flowers.

All I can say is I heart my flower blossom plunger cutter. Say that fast three times.

IMG_7657

I bought it a while ago and this is the first time I’ve used it.

IMG_7660

You can cut shapes out of fondant and by pressing down on the plunger, you can make center indentations… or not.

You can also press the plunger into the fondant and remove the flower shape to then press and release onto a sponge.

This will give the flowers a curved shape.

But, without a sponge handy I had to improvise again.

So I grabbed the paper towel roll nearby and laid it on its side.

IMG_7662

See how they curve when you press them into a soft surface and release? If you wanted, you could also add sugar pearls to the centers or pipe with icing.

IMG_7723

These were fun to use. Now I need to get my hands on a little leaf plunger cutter to round out the look.

IMG_7703

IMG_7748

Cookie Swap is full of recipes, decorating and displaying ideas.

Like these….

IMG_7740

Yes, this is a cookie. A ridiculously beautiful cookie. Seriously, who does that? Amazing!

IMG_7741

And these are in the book, too. Love them! Looooooove them. But, I’d have to find someone to pipe those dots on for me. Mine would never look that perfect.

In addition to really pretty sweets, the book also has cute cookies to make you swoon.

IMG_7743

Like these hamburger and hotdog shaped macarons. Dying.

IMG_7744

And these watermelon cookies. Oh and umm, the lemons? Those are cookies, too. I know. Craziness.

  1. I am an adventurous cookie maker which I thought tasting goes along with that? Thanks!!!m

  2. I don’t like the time they take, but my boys love baking fancy cookies so I’m having to change my ways…

  3. I am the best taste tester ever!!!! ;) Yes, I love sweets and anytthng as pretty as these cookies I’m all for! Thanks for the chance to win!

  4. I stick with tried-and-true recipes… I love baking, but my budget won’t allow me to buy all the fun decorating tools I need to make these fancy cookies! I deal mainly with chocolate chip, butter cookies, peanut butter blossoms, and the like.

  5. When I have time I love to attempt decorating cookies (and all sorts of baking for that matter!), but I ALWAYS have time to be a cookie taste tester!!!

  6. DEFINITELY the adventurous cookie maker. If I saw anything on my plate like in that book, I’d be too in awe to ever taste it!

  7. Sounds like a great excuse to work on my royal icing skills.

  8. Can I say both? Don’t always have time to make cookies, but there is ALWAYS time to eat them! :)

  9. I’m an adventurous cookie maker wannabe. This book just might help me accomplish it!

  10. Adventurous! Mann you know how to make a college student drool… :]

  11. I’ve not really gotten too much into the decorating yet, but I absolutely love to bake. Perhaps that would make me a cautious adventurer?

  12. I am an aspiring cookie maker. I made my first cookies with royal icing this weekend for Easter.

  13. Cookies aren’t my strong suit, I prefer baking and decorating cake! So I need this book so I can out-bake my roommate! :)

  14. definitely an adventurous baker!! Combining fave recipes or new ingredients to see what works – that’s the joy of baking. Although half the time I usually just go through the cookbook drooling and thinking about how it could turn out – especially when some of these look almost too pretty to eat!!

  15. I am totally an adventurous cookie maker! I love royal icing and different cookie cutters!

  16. Definitely an adventurous cookie maker… but I taste test them as well.

  17. I am very much to the adventurous cookie maker. i love those cute cookies!!

  18. Oh! Those are so cute and colourful! :-)

  19. Adventurous cookie maker, I’m definitely trying the watermelon slices at the first BBQ I can

  20. I’d say a content taste tester but slowly working my way up to adventurous cookie maker. Those easter bonnets are just way too cute, keep up the awesome work. Thanks for the chance at the giveaway!

  21. Somewhere in between – I would love to be the baker but don’t have as much time as I would like right now. So tasting is probably more me right now :)

  22. I am one of those people who always have BIG dreams to make beautiful cookies but I never actually get around to making them. The book is drool worthy enough to maybe get me off my keester and start baking!

  23. Oh I would love to make those or many others. I love to make cakes for my kids birthdays and wish I had some fun cookie ideas to go along with them.

  24. Nothing better on a cold day but to fire up the oven and make cookies.

  25. Definately an adventurous cookie maker! But, I do my share of tasting too!!

  26. I LOVE baking cookies! Just got done with some royal icing-pastel-Easter egg-and-bunny cookies this past weekend for the holiday. Say THAT 3 times fast!

    I’ve got to go out and find those flower plunger thingies!

  27. I try to be an adventurous cookie maker. Sometimes with success and sometimes not. but that’s when being a big fan of taste testing comes in handy!

  28. Adventurous cookie maker here. Now I am on a mission to find the flower cutters. Too cute. They will be perfect for cupcakes I am making next month.

  29. These are so darling! I tend to be an adventurous baker, as long as my sister is around to make the frosting for me. I love frosting things, but I have a frosting-making block. I suppose that’s something I should work on, if I want to make such gorgeous cookies someday!

  30. i have to say i am pretty adventurous in my desserts. maybe more so cake than cookies.

  31. I like to make fancy cookies & I love to eat the ones that turn out just a littlw bit off. Somehow there are always a lot of screwed up ones, sometimes I even call my friend to help eat them.

  32. Love that cookie book!

  33. These cookies are delightful! I love to bake – but I love to taste test as well! I get both done. ( :

  34. definitely an adventurous cookie maker!!!!!!! :)

  35. Oh, I would LOVE to win this book! I am a cookie maker -sometimes with success and other times, without. The pictures from this book look amazing! Meghan

  36. Adventurous! Bring it on-looks like fun.

  37. 100% certified taste tester!
    And I’d love to taste those yummy looking cookies.

  38. I am an adventurous cookie maker and a taste tester.

  39. I’m pretty adventurous. Mostly I just want to bake like Bakerella.

  40. I am an adventurous cookie maker. I LOVE baking! Only one problem. Once baked, who does the eating? Me! What do you do with all the yummy confections? I enjoy making cakes too for family celebrations. I think for my daughter’s Tinkerbell 3rd B-day party I’m going to try some Orange Blossom water with the macaroon recipe you shared. ooo! Maybe fill with choc mocha…This has seriously got to stop. I won’t make it to the party…

  41. maker. by the time I’m done making, baking and decorating them, I don’t want to eat them either.
    I wish I could say the same for cakes and breads… I eat them, and love it.

  42. Adventurous cookie baker – I love to try new things!
    Always looking for new things to try!

  43. The only time I like a good adventure is probably in the kitchen.

  44. I’d like to think I’m as adventurous as I want to be. Those cookies look amazing….how cute are those lemon wedges?!
    I’ll eat them! ;)

  45. I WAS just a content taste tester…never much of a baker AT ALL. But the other day I just happened to stumble across your post on doughnuts & I read the entire thing. Called my girlfriend who just moved to Atlanta, Georgia & told her to go there ASAP. After that I checked out your entire site & now check it everyday to read any new posts. I can say now that I DEFINITELY am going to start baking fun new things with the help of YOU. And what will come first??? Those awesome hamburger cupcakes & sugar cookie frys! I love cupcakes…have 1 tattooed on me.

    Anywhooo…thank you for your awesome website Bakerella!

  46. I love to bake cookies! I’m pretty plain but I love trying new and adventurous recipes!

  47. I’d like to think I’m adventurous, but halfway through the adventure, I turn into a taste tester…Needless to say, haven’t had a batch of cookies make it to the oven in a while.

  48. I am not quite that adventurous. I did recently try all the fancy flooding frosting stuff. These are the most exciting cookies I’ve ever made and they almost turned out this cute: http://chiccookiekits.blogspot.com/2008/12/im-melting-melting.html

  49. Oh I’m quite content tasting cookies…Learning how to do cakes is my big hobby right now!

  50. For now I’m a content taste tester, but I’m hoping to become an adventurous cookie maker soon – I just need to get some supplies!

  51. when it comes to anything baking, i’m a bit of both. always eager to try a new recipe (especially from scratch! even made croissants from scratch on a whim), but i’m also just as excited to see how the results turn out.

    i guess if i had to choose one side though, i’m with the adventurous bakers. i make most of the food for club bake sales i’m involved in on campus, along with the annual cafe hosted by one of the clubs, and when home, the kitchen is regularly perfumed with new&exciting treats.

    this book looks so fun!

  52. Just getting started being adventurous, but my attempts certainly look nothing as good as what you post… however, it’s so much fun, and my nieces and nephews (the taste-testers) don’t know what I was trying to do – they’re just happy to enjoy the yummyness. ;) Love everything you do! Thanks for the inspirations.

  53. OH. I LOVE THOSE! So cute!

  54. I could only dream of making cookies this beautiful. I would try, but have a feeling they would never turn out that great. I would still like the book for ideas.

  55. I love trying all new cookie recipes, though I tend to do the less time-consuming ones mostly

  56. Is it cheating to say that I’m somewhere in between? Just made the 14-layer cake from your site this weekend for Easter. It was phenomenal. And sooooo rich!

  57. Right now I’m just a content taste tester, but I would like to get better at my baking!

  58. I’m definitely more of a taste tester…although I’d love to be able to make beautiful things like I see on this blog! Thanks for the chance to win!

  59. I love the macarons! And the lemons and watermelons. And the little wedding cakes… I guess everything looks fantastic! What a fun book!

  60. I would adore baking a new variety of cookies, so this cookbook would be awesome for being more adventurous! :)

  61. Currently I’m more of a taste tester. We live with my in-laws, and all my good baking stuff is in storage. But, I really, really, really hope we’ll move out soon and I can’t wait to get back to being an adventurous baker (and cook). This book sure would be inspiring to have!

  62. I love cookies PERIOD.

  63. I´m a content taste tester. Directly from Brazil

  64. Cute cute cute! I’m with you on the royal icing dots…I would definitely improvise rather than pipe all those on!

  65. I try to make pretty cookies- but I do not ever make things as pretty as you do. I love to look at your cookies and cake pops.

  66. I want to be an adventurous cookie maker, though I’m not quite there yet. Would love to have this book to help me become more adventurous with cookies!

  67. I always like a challenge in the kitchen! Those cookies are adorable!!!

  68. I love being creative with baking! I would love to have a copy of this book!!!

  69. adventurous cookie maker and eater!

  70. I am both!! I have tried everything from cutouts to cookie press recipes, and am hungry for more recipes!!! I still have to work on my piping and fondant skills though, decorating is my weak side…

  71. Wanna be adventurous!

  72. I used to be less adventurous, but in my old age (22 ; ) I’ve gained a little more patience and love to try baking new things. I like bringing sweets to work. Cookies make people happier if they’re different.

  73. I LOVE to make cookies. But whenever I try to make them pretty, it usually ends up in total disaster. That being said, they still taste delicious!

  74. I am a content taste tester adventurous cookie baker wanna-be.

  75. I love to make treats to take to family gatherings and some of these cookies would just amaze my family and friends.

  76. I wish I was more adventurous! I tend to stick with what I know and add a little pizzaz near the end when I know its safe! I just found this website of my goodness its so cute! You have done a fantastic job. Can’t wait to see what else you have up your sleeve!

  77. Oh my gosh! I just stumbled across this blog today (Thanks to cakewrecks!) and this is now my new favorite! Such CUTE stuff! You’re incredibly creative! Thank you so much for sharing your ideas!

  78. I have to say adventurous baker! I love making different cookies ( as well as other things!) and having other taste and let me know what they think!

    Glad your feeling better!!

  79. Adventurousbaker is my middle name, how coincidental. I LOVE LOVE LOVE to bake all sorts of themed goodies and distribute them to my friends and let them be impressed!

  80. I am a Cookie Monster!

  81. Whoa!! These are the coolest cookies ever! Having a five year old daughter I can see a lot of fun tea party ideas in this book. Momma is going to have to step up her skills. ;)

  82. I love to make cookies, but the drop variety. Unfortunately I never had the time to try the fancy ones, but I’d love to try them.

  83. i stick with the tried and true cookie recipes :)

  84. I’m definitely an adventurous cookie maker!

  85. I love experimenting and look forward to when my kids are both in school all day so that I’ll have more time to “play”. I LOVE your hat cookies….they look amazing! I’d love to win this book and have all those ideas to try out.

  86. I love making cookies and so does my sister, but also wouldn’t mind being a contest taster either.

  87. soy nueva en la fabricacion de coockies pero en estas pascuas hice mis primeras coockies y quedaron hermosas.
    El libro es un sueño y me encantaria tenerol.
    Un gran beso desde la Argentina y gracias por compartir tantos conocimientos.
    saludos Patzi

  88. These cookies would make great gifts!

  89. I’ve just started to get my feet wet, but I’d say I lean more on the adventurous cookie maker side. Would love this book to “play” with.

  90. Simply beautiful!

  91. content taste tester…but I would really love to change that!

  92. i am such a failure when it comes to making cookies… today would be a good example of it. however, i do try to cover up my mess-ups with some pretty (desperate) drizzling and decorating. but i am WAY more content as a taster. :)

  93. I love trying new recipes and keeping with the same tried and true family recipes. It just depends on my time. I’m always up for adventures in baking!

  94. I love love love to bake!.. I am always trying new things although I love to “borrow” recipes from people and add my new spin on things…

  95. I have been so inspired by cooking blogs lately, so I just went out and bought a pastry decorating kit. I’m excited to get started!

  96. I am the cookie maker and creator of my family! Don’t really eat it…

  97. Oh I’m an adventurous cookie decorating machine… although my adventures often lead me to visual misfortunes. Big messy blobs of yumminess. :)

  98. I love to be adventurous in the kitchen for sure. I must try these hats. Too cute!

  99. Content taste tester!

  100. I think I’m more in the taste testing category… :) I’d love to try making some of those cookies though!

  101. Adventurous for sure :)

  102. I would love a shot at winning the book! I am always interested in learning new techniques to make cookies look beautiful–even if I’m mostly making them for my kids! :)

  103. I am just a taster with hopes to one day be a cookie maker! Amazing pictures!

  106. Love these cookies! I’m an adventurous cookie maker who needs more inspiration!

  107. too cool and beautiful!

  108. I love trying to bake new things and your blog is great inspiration! I love to be adventurous and I’m content tasing!

  109. 50/50 love the book and wow

  110. The more out there the better for me! I LOVE making cookies! That book looks like SO much fun.

  111. I’m a taster in the best form – I make cookies – but nothing even remotely as pretty -very nice!

  112. OH MY!!! What heavenly goodness those cookies are! I would make the cookies and then be furious that people ate them!

  113. I’m more of a content girl…some of my favorite cookies aren’t that pretty.

  114. I love to bake cookies!!!! I love to eat them even more! Don’t think I would be called adventurous, though. But, I think this book would change that!

  115. Content taste tester! I just have a problem putting all that time into making something so pretty and having them eaten right away! But then again, I tried your turkey cake pops and was totally happy w/ how they turned out (and were GONE in no time).

  116. i love baking adventures! :)

  117. I’d have to say I fall on the adventurous side of the line since I love making ’em but don’t love eating ’em…. i won’t even start with the calories involved! Of course I do have to perform a little sample taste test, you know, in the name of “quality control” LOL!

  118. Both an adventurous cookie maker and a professional cookie taster :-) Those are some ridiculously cute cookies!

  119. Those are fabulous your version and the books. Love them

  120. Definitely as adventurous baker. And cookie decorator.

  121. Man alive I love these cookie books! I like to read them like stories and just relish all the pictures. Then go into the kitchen and make chocolate chip cookies ’cause I just don’t have the patience for all that beautifulness!

  122. I am a content taste tester. But I hope that i came make those awesome watermelon cookies one day..

  123. THOSE ARE TOO CUTE! i love the flower cutters! and the watermelon cookies in the book looked amazing :)

  124. OOOO those are Fabulous!!! I LOVE to bake, although my expertise is no where near yours, I will admit that my chocolate chip cookies do kick ‘A’ :)

  125. I would love a copy of that book! VERY adorable cookies! Too pretty to eat ! Thank you so much for posting !

  126. My daughter’s wedding is coming up in August what great ideas for party favors and for her shower as well….I love to bake cookies and i love to eat them as well.
    Thank you so much for inspiration…..Georgia

  127. Definitely an adventurous cookie maker! Constantly baking but not always eating what I make, that’s what coworkers are for!

  128. I love baking! I’m all up for a good challenge.. and defidently a good tasting cookie! So I’m gonna go with ADVENTURE…and cute creations (:

  129. i recently bought a Martha Stewart cookie book, but i have to say i’m not adventurous, i stick to oatmeal cookies but these look worth a try :]

  130. hi – i’m semi-adventurous, but could definitely use some help in the decorating area.

  131. Somewhat adventurous…but often afraid (especially of dirty dishes).

  132. I want to make them all! But I am not against being the official taster either ;)

  133. I’m the cookie maker (of course you have to taste test all creations)…. my co-workers are my testers and strongly encourage my renewed sense of baking all kinds of goodies… and they were recent recipients of some easter basket cupcakes from one of your earlier posts!

  134. I would LOVE to say Im an adventurous cookie maker AND tester but sometimes I really feel very uncreative or that my hands just cant seem to make the designs! Maybe this awesome book would help me! ;)

  135. The oven in my apartment isn’t very good for baking, so as of now, I’m just a taste tester.

  136. I love, love, love to bake cute things. But I’m never the taster. I always bake a ton and then pawn it all off on everyone I know.

  137. I want to be an super decorator but I am in the learning stages…I have plenty of ideas I just need a new hand mixer – and a book like that couldn’t hurt either! :)

  138. Can I be both? I love to bake but don’t mind eating them as well!! They look so fun.

  139. I would say i’m absolutely an adventurous cookie maker !!!! Just love trying different new things…… BTW, you’re soooo talented. What you did really inspire me !!!!!! :)

  140. Oh….I’m a bit of both…but more cookie maker! Me and my daughter love to find new things to try and make,,,this book would be perfect :)

  141. Pick me pick me I would die if I could have that book, I’ve been wanting it for FOREVER!!!!! I am definatly a little of both whats the fun in making the cookies if you don’t get to test them too?

  142. Adventurous baker for sure!!! I can’t wait to try to make the cute hats, they will be perfect for the tea party bridal shower my friend is having.

  143. I’m adventurous! This book looks amazing!

  144. I love to bake, LOVE, LOVE everything to do with baking and will bake everything if I could. I just need a kitchen and storage to match my excitment for baking!

  145. I am more adventurous with a cookie recipe that ‘beautifying’ cookies and such. I’m much too impatient to actually wait for all that decorating before I eat them. But, for special occasions, I’ll spend a little more time.

  146. Ooooooooh I love cookies!! They ARE my weakness (and M&Ms!) So I am honestly an adventurous baker AND a content taster…;-)

  147. Getting more adventurous but still have my training wheels on. The best part? Eating the disasters! ;)

  148. I loooove baking cookies. I recently baked a bunch for a tailgate: football, helmet, dog bone, you name it. There were sooo cute!

  149. Such cute cookies, and what a great book. I am definitely an adventurous cookie maker!

  150. i am a taster and a maker. lol ;)

  151. I’m headed into more of the adventurous baker, but have a long career of content taster. ^_^ Those watermelon cookies would be adorable to make for a picnic, I think that when my bf and I go for one I’ll have to try my hand at them!

  152. Those are amazing! I am trying to be more adventurous but definitely prefer tasting!

  153. I’m a cookie maker, not so sure if i’m adventurous, more traditional, but I would like to be more adventurous… This book would help greatly!

  154. Mentally, I’m an adventurous baker who’s excited about trying new confections. In reality, I’m a busy wife and mom to four who only has time to be a cookie taste tester…that is if I can get to them before my kids do!

  155. I just love these cookie ideas! Perfect for a summer school treat for my students!

  156. I absolutely consider new cookbooks good reading! And if it’s a new cookie cookbook, Holy Cow! that really is great reading.

  157. While I love to deco cakes – cookies are not my ‘thang’! I like to eat ’em but have no patience to duplicate the same thing over and over. :)

  158. SO ADORABLE! Pick me, please!

    This looks like it’d be a fun, tasty challenge. :)

  159. Would love to win the book! It would be great to make some cookies for my daughters 1st Birthday!

  160. I LOOOOVEEE these!! Well I LOVE everything you post!! I wanna try these sometime soon!! I would super enjoy a copy of the book!! Hope you are feeling better!!

  161. I LOVE baking and I made some pretty tulip cookies for Easter ( too bad they all spread a bit too much, they would have been perfect!)

  162. Um, both? When I bake cookies, I end up eating about 1 dozen before all’s said and done…you know, for “quality control” purposes only. Ha! :)

  163. I love baking and that book looks AMAZING!!! So far I’ve only been adventurous with cupcakes, but those pictures make me want to expand to cupcakes too!

  164. Oh my goodness! Adventure is truly within this book! I picked it up in February!! I tried the Raspberry-Truffle Brownie Bars on page 20! Yum!! Very rich and decadent!! Enjoy your new read!! Sincerely, Susan!!

  165. Definitely a contest tast tester! I would love to be able to decorate like that, but can never seem to make it happen!

  166. Taste tester, for sure!

  167. I love to experiment with different cookie shapes and assembly. This looks like a wonderful book. Super cute hats by the way…I can see many uses for these!

  168. I’m not an avid cookie maker, I make cakes and cupcakes more. Buuut I am making 500 sugar cookies in a couple of months for a friend my mom knows! This book would come in handy!

  169. The cookies are beautiful. You always do a great job. Very inspiring.

  170. I am undoubtedly a taste tester! Time to head off to my weight watcher’s meeting now…. ;)

  171. Bring on the adventure! I am not afraid to try baking any kind of cookie (or other delicious dessert, for that matter).

  172. Baking cookies is something I always do with my Mom. We love to try any and everything. The best part is eating them, of course! :)

  173. Only valuable time prevents me from being the adventurous cookie maker!

  174. definitely the taster!! :D

  175. We had a Three Tiered Cookie Cake at our wedding. Mrs Fields supplied the giant cookies and frosting and my mother in law assembled it using some amazing glass plates and columns. I’m not a big decorator but I love making different kinds of cookies. My favourite is a recipe from my friend Amanda – tastes just like Pumpkin Pie!

  176. I can’t wait for my house to be finished so I can really be an adventurous cookie maker!!! I love to bake, right now I’m the cupcake guru in my family.

  177. Would love to win!

  178. I think I’ll give these a try for Mother’s Day!!

  179. I love the *idea* of making fancy cookies, but often the thought of all the rolling and cutting and cleaning and the disappointment of less-than-picture-perfect cookies in the end has me reaching for the roll of pre-made cookie dough…to eat raw. :) Maybe this book would be an inspiration!

  180. I’m a content taste tester but can be a cookie maker with support and specific directions. :D

  181. Please let it be me!! I’ve tried making cupcakes…fail. I’ve tried making pies…fail. I’m hoping cookies will be the big SCOIRE for me, and this book would really be awesome!

  182. Content taster and copier! Haha… I love to bake, but am not creative enough to do things on my own!

  183. Definitely the cookie maker, i might never leave the kitchen if i get this book! :-)

  184. I’d like to try to make such beautiful things. Just need the time…!

  185. I have no problem being either! But I’m usually the one cranking out cookies for people to taste.

  186. I usually stick with the tried and true basics.

  187. i’m definitely a taste testers but i have my days when i’m an adventurous cookie maker

  188. adventurous cookie maker for sure! nothing beats the excitement of creating new cookie creations from random ingredients/ideas! :))

  189. I’m very handy in the kitchen and I want to be “an adventurous cookie maker”. I love to experiment. I make and decorate Christmas cookies every year, but I’ve definitely got more learning to do. I love baking anything and have a new passion – decorating cakes!

  190. I’m all about the taste…only because I’m not artistic and I really haven’t tried decorating cookies before. But I want to be able to make pretty cookies :)

  191. I do this for a living partly cakes and cookies so I’m adventuras I’d say.

  192. That book looks awesome! There isn’t anything I won’t try to make a cookie into, and I would love some new things to try!

  193. I love baking :) I have just recently gotten into the cookie faze, and am having just a little trouble. Would love some extra direction :))

  194. Basic cookie maker, beautiful cookie taste taster and doesn’t my waist line just back it up haha

  195. Oh, I love those hats! They would have been perfect for my daughter’s tea party birthday.

    Glad you are feeling better! :)

  196. Cookies have never been my thing to get crazy on, I’m more of a cake girl myself. Though this is certainly inspiring!

  197. I hope i’m still in time, cuz I would love to win such a lovely baking book, especially to make those cute lemons!

  198. Thanks to you, I ma getting more and more creative with baking. Who knew it could be so fun?

  199. I’m a decent baker…but an extremely adventurous taste tester!
