Some helpful tips...

I have been ashamedly quiet lately :(  #toobusytoblog.  But, i just read this post  at Sweetopia and thought that it would be something very useful to other ladies who love to make pretty cookies as i do!  So, here i am, blogging at last, albeit not of my own making!

Have your piping bags and
nozzles at the ready

Figure out which colours you are going to need and have them ready in separate containers

Have sufficient moist cloths at your
work station - they are super handy
for wiping messy nozzles, hands etc.

As much as i love creating beautiful cookies, petits fours and cakes, I also enjoy being organised and tidy.  I have actually just been re-organising my sugar-flower-making kit/s to be more user- and space-friendly.  I was very pleased with myself when i had a look at my compartmentalised tupperwares all neatly place in my 'cake goodies' shelf!  An organised and tidy working environment definitely does led itself to more efficient and stress-free creation.


From Sweetopia, here are 10 tips to stay organised while decorating cookies.

So inspiring!

Four decades of cookies - for a bit of fun, see if you can tell which cookies come from which decade before you have a look at Sugar Belle's post!

Sweet Sugar Belle posted this on her blog yesterday, i just couldn't resist sharing her post with you.  She is amazing - her work is sooo inspirational!  I don't think that there is an iced cookie design that she couldn't come up with!

Spring has sprung!

I LOVE Spring! I've always loved Spring, but this year somehow i have had more time to appreciate the season and all the beauty it has to offer. It seems to me as if there is no end to the array of beautiful blossoms and flowers all around me. To celebrate nature's daily gift to us, i thought it only fitting to make a few Spring beauties of my own.
