Ornament Cookies


These sugar cookies are so adorable
shaped like ornaments and topped with
edible glitter and a large silver dragee.


My daughter in law Audra made them 
for her two year old's birthday.


Pipe contrasting colors and draw a toothpick
through to get the great designs

For complete recipes see 


Almost too pretty to eat, but we managed!


Here is some more of the party.  Adele had a
pink Happy Birthday tree 
for her party.


The beautiful pink cake was made by dipping
pirouette cookies in pink molding chocolate
and drizzling with white molding chocolate.
I love the effect.

Everything was finished off with a pretty
pink ribbon.


Audra also made these adorable
North Pole cupcakes.  You can imagine
they were a big hit with the children.

What an adorable party mixing in the
fun decorations of the season with the
birthday theme.

I just love the pink "Birthday" tree. What a precious idea for a December birthday!!! The cookies are beautiful. They must have taken hours to decorate......so perfect!!! The birthday cake is gorgeous. What a great idea to dip the cookies and transform them into something so beautiful on the cake. The cupcakes are so adorable with the little North Pole sign on each one. What a talented daughter-in-law you have. It must have been a wonderful party!!!!

Hugs,
Katherine S.

Your daughter in law has been spending way too much time with you in the kitchen! I can't tell where she starts and you leave off.....does it run in the family? You are some of the most creative women I've ever seen! Jackie

I've been playing with this for next week's post.... not a cookie but a plate... it is alternately frustrating and fun.
Yours look perfect... well done and gorgeous cookies!
