the baking….
So by this time, most of my friends and I are down to the baking part of getting ready for the holidays. I already stowed away the chocolate chip cookies because they were…er..disappearing! But today I made Russian tea cakes and Scottish shortbread cookies in the shape of…what else..Scotties! They were supposed to be dipped in a chocolate sauce just prior to serving but we all know that isn’t going to happen so I just used the candy melts that will harden enough to store them until serving time. But because I couldn’t “waste” the leftover melted chocolate, I decided to do some pretzels too. I have two more varieties of cookies to bake yet and then I will call it done because I decided not to bake banana nut bread this year. Fa la la …..
AED Month
Spooky Lady Fingers
Well, as my first post for Art Every Day Month, I will regress one day to Halloween because, although it’s over, I just had to post a picture of the spooky cookies I made for my friend’s Halloween party. They were tasty almond butter cookies…found the recipe on line…but looked so gross that a few of the partiers just couldn’t bring themselves to bite into one! LOL! What fun! I arranged them on a doily covered silver serving tray and added a meat cleaver dripping with blood (red icing gel) for effect. The little sign said “lady Fingers (please be careful of bones).” So here you have it, my first AED post….YAY! Looking forward to checking out all the creativity of my fellow posters this month over at www.Creativeeveryday.com Have fun everyone!
