fired up!

i've mentioned my extensive cookie cutter collection. i lost count after 400. i have something for every holiday, nearly every animal, even some that are anatomically correct. and i have a pot leaf. hubby thought a few leaves for a friend would be a funny gift. i was already up to my elbows in cookie dough for another order, so i cut out a few. then i noticed something cool.

here are the leaves, open and pot-like:

i could have been more authentic about it, but like i said, i was busy... but when you turn them upside down, and bring in the leaves a little, then ice them in black and put cascading dots...

you get fireworks!

*warning* never set your cookies on fire.

and no, these are not "enhanced" with "special ingredients" they were just to be fun. discovering an extra use for the cutter was a bonus. maybe also flames? or a splash? far out, man...

still on the way, Brenda's big 6...
