One of my favorite things about spring is seeing flowers in bloom everywhere I go. Daffodils have recently bloomed in our neighborhood, and this week I spotted some tulips (one of my favorites) in a neighbor's yard. I have lots of
I didn't set out to make the rose from Beauty and the Beast when creating this stained glass cookie, but it certainly has that feel, doesn't it?
This week a friend asked me to create some cookies for a 10 years old little boy's birthday. All I knew about the little boy was his favorite color: blue. I am not making licensed character cookies, a 10 year old is too old for the cute little boy shapes... I wanted to create something cool a big boy would appreciate. I came up with the idea to create a cookie puzzle. I already had a puzzle piece cookie cutter from The cookie cutter company that I wanted to try. We all know, that cookies change their shape while we bake them, so I needed to find a solution to this problem. It's also important to assure, that all the parts have a doable shape - no part too thin. Its also a good idea to have a big main motif which will help to put the pieces together. So I started planning: By outlining the cookie cutter I planned the puzzle grid. I first drew the middle one. Then four others to the four corners, all touching the corners of the middle piece. This is the way I cut the cookie later. So by cutting out 5 puzzle pieces I created a 9 piece puzzle. When I had the puzzle shape I planned the shape of the cookie and the design of the decoration. Then I cut it out to use it as a template to hand cut the cookie. I baked this big circle from my gingerbread cookie and while it was still warm and soft I turned it up side down (to have nicer cuts at the top side) and cut out the puzzle pieces. When I had all the pieces cut I let them cool completely before decorating. After cooling the pieces I assembled the puzzle to trace the main motif on the pieces with a scribe tool (or trussing needle whichever you have on hand). The last step was the decorating with royal icing. Go to my website to see more of my work. Join me on Facebook!

One of the prettiest trends in springtime cookies (in my opinion) is the stained glass window cookie. I love how simple and yet ornate they are, so I wanted to see if I could recreate this effect on some simple Easter cookies.
