Butterfly Biscuits

Homemade Biscuits are big with the man in my house, I really have to be in the mood to make them too. I think it is quicker to make cupcakes.  Anyway another blast from the past these little babies are the first royal icing biscuits I made.

I hope you enjoy my cookies.

The birth of a butterfly.

 I love to create to give it away, it gives me great pleasure to put my heart and soul in a project and give it up for someone else to enjoy. Even if it is someone I don't know.

I  have a new girl at work and it was her friend's birthday so I gave her a lesson on how to make the butterflies.  It is quite funny as she has never done any kind of normal baking that comes naturally to me, I have been doing it since I was young. I remember my brother and sister paying me to make chocolate self saucing pudding in winter when we were young.

Anyway when I came to recuse the butterflies the next day from their drying spot the wings were all bent and pushed together so we lost half of them as I couldn't get them off the drying rack.

They still looked great and she was very pleased with her first effort to make butterflies.  They were also received very well mission accomplished.

I mixed the last few colours together and got this dye tied effect, Some of them were awesome.

Cookies!

Well, how exciting I have new cookie cutters from Cox & Cox and Lorna and I had a good play with them today at work.

    If you notice the back cutter has a slot so you can hang your cookie on your cup of coffee/tea.

I just think it is fantastic only problem is not many people come to our house for coffee, but they are great gifts to take to people's home's.

We also played with the snowflake cutters as we always do a christmas window at the shop, we will decorate with icing and glitter as the icing sugar won't cope with the window heat.

Good day's hard work if you ask me.
