Seashell Cookies

Poupee Girl Party Pics are up over at Fig & Ruby.  Go check them out for an explanation of what in the world I am talking about!!

Seashells are important to Poupee Girl so it seemed fitting that we make the cookie favors seashells.  I bought little zip bags, plopped one cookie in each bag, folded cute paper over the bag and stapled.  I actually gave this job to my 6 year old...it's that easy!

I love this paper/pattern/color combo!

A Great Tutorial On Decorating Sugar Cookies!

I have had quite a few people ask me questions about how I decorate my sugar cookies.  In my head making my own tutorial sounds like a fantastic idea.  In my reality, that is never gonna happen. I am learning that I can not do everything!! I am also in awe of the amazing resources that are out there in the blog world and I would love to share some of my favorites with you.

I could spend hours pouring over Marian's sweet photos and amazing creations. She is Canadian and oh so talented, creative and productive!

Marian has also made some really helpful tutorials.  On the left hand sidebar of her blog she has a button for tutorials.  How great is that?!?!?  Today I present to you her tutorial on "How To Decorate Sugar Cookies With Royal Icing"

I agree with all of her tips and this tutorial is basically exactly what I would say, had I the time and gumption to make my own tutorial:)  She mentions Antonia 74's icing recipe and this is the one that I use.  Love it.  SO GREAT!  

Just to give you a feel for what this girl can do, check out these bad boys...

Gotta love Initials!

Initials never get old. I just love using them on cakes and cupcakes...actually, I use them on shirts, backpacts, etc. I like to personalize just about anything with a plain surface!

Here is some initial inspiration!

Teapot Cookies

Adorable Teapot cookies for a baby shower "tea". You can see the rest of the baby shower HERE. These cookies made the trip from Kelowna to California. They all made it, no breaks!!

We especially loved the tags on these.

Using the baby's name and initial turned out so cute!!
