i like to kick it old school

this year i fell in love with pearl dust. first i made my wedding cookies shimmer, then i made shiney reindeer, then i made actually-silver bells. i seriously got all bouncy like a kid when i made a metalic cookie. to complete the trio for eldra's december dozen, i paired the "silver" with pastel blue and ta-da, it was 1952. the fun continued with pinwheel stars. next year? christmas robots!

reindeer!!!!!!

brown reindeer are nice and everything, but why not green? or rainbow antlers? my new favorite product, pearl dust, made these extra pretty, and a little retro. and here's some proof that i'm goofy--the cookie cutter faces the other way, but i can only seem to decorate reindeer if they face to the left, so i flipped them before baking. thanks to james and judy for their orders!

happy november!

here's what i was up to in november--a traditional collection for eldra's monthly dozen, and a buncha corn for the folks at work. at first i thought the turkey was too intimidating, but it was nothing compared to those individual corn kernels. but i like challenges :)
