Treats I've Made

One of my favorite activities is decorating my baked goods. Sugar is so fun to work with!

This is my second annual Peeps cake. I am making it a tradition. (Can't wait for Easter!) I've always loved Peeps. They are so cute! And they are best when eaten stale. =)

Here are some cookies I made last April. I live for cute cookie cutters. And delightful pastel sprinkles. =)This was Oliver's cake for his first birthday. It was fun to make, but a little tricky to get the proportions right. Anybody who knows me knows I'm all about proportions.

I made these with my cookie press and added the frosting and sprinkle accents. I packaged them up and sent them to my mommy for Mother's Day the year before last.

In my opinion, the best thing about Valentine's Day is it's a perfect excuse to make festive sugar cookies!

Cookies shaped like ice cream cones? Doesn't get much better than that. My personal favorite cookie cutter. If anyone finds a cupcake-shaped one, let me know. Or I could just make cupcakes...

Guess which holiday these were for.




I'm still a beginner at piping frosting. But the sprinkles seem to make up for it.




In general, I don't think Halloween colors are "cute", but these cupcakes were decent. I've always been a fan of candy-topped cupcakes. This love dates back to my elementary school years when every Friday after school the Science Club had a cupcake sale.

Oliver's 2nd Birthday cake. I should've tried fondant to make it look smooth, but haven't ever used it before, so frosting it was.




I wanted to make a fruit pizza, but there were no strawberries at the store, so I improvised with cookie "pepperoni" and candy topping.

Yay for Christmas cookies! I have a set of mini cutters that I love. This was the first time I tried the candy cane cutter, and they turned out to be my favorite. The best part about them: the stripes are sprinkles! So fun and easy.

Last year when I gave my neighbor some of these, I saw him a bit later that day, and he said, " I can't eat those cookies.... they're too cute to eat." Aw, how nice. Even though I spend a little extra one-on-one time with each of my cookies, they are still intended for guilt-free consumption. Cookie calories don't add up if you cushion your tummy with lunch or dinner first. At least that's what I keep telling myself. =)

These were super easy to decorate. Pipe on a few lines, dust with colored sugar, and put on a few pearly nonpareils. Those were my favorite sprinkles this year. They are so pretty, and they are soft and taste yummy too. Score!
