Neglected

I have been neglecting my blog. I'm sorry about that.

Writing is not coming as easy as it was. Hopefully with winter coming on....

My sister and I have been taking a cake decorating class at Hobby Lobby. She is far better at it than I am. She will be over here today so we can practice. Yesterday I made some cut out cookies in the shapes of Christmas bulbs, candy canes and bells. My interest is more in cookie decorating than cake decorating.

I was telling a customer at the store about baking. We were discussing what stove she should buy. I asked her how much baking she does and what type. She ended up getting a convection oven. Anyway, she said she had the "secret recipe" for cutout cookies from a local cake shop. I told her I would love to see the recipe. She gave it to me! How cool is that? The frosting recipe is even with it!

So I made the dough on Friday night. Cut out and baked the cookies on Saturday morning. Today (Sunday)my sister and I will try decorating them. We are still learning, so bear with us.

We will be off to the Fonda Craft Show first. I wonder if anyone sells decorated cookies and cupcakes? Maybe if we get good enough we can sell them there next year. What do you think? I know, you want to see pictures first. OK, but later. Wonder what I can find at the craft show????
