Kyle & Ke-hsin's Wedding Cookie Collection

View fullsize

My son, Kyle, and his fiance, Ke-hsin, got married rather quickly in January. Since the plan was to move to California as soon as possible to start a newly secured job, a courthouse wedding was the perfect scenario.

With such a short and sweet solution, I still wanted to make them some special cookies for their special day. The best part about this set of cookies was that several of the shapes were from cutters Kyle made for me with the 3D printer these last several months. How sweet that he was indirectly involved in the making of his wedding cookies.

Cookies made for loved ones on a special occasion…..the BEST!

Congratulations Kyle & Ke-hsin! I love you so much. ❤️

A courthouse ceremony since they needed to move to California for a secured job. It was short and sweet…..and the goal was achieved. They are now married. :)

My son, Kyle, and his lovely bride, Ke-hsin. They are both so happy. ❤️

A little informal family gathering after the courthouse wedding. Sweet memories….

CookieCrazie's Week in Review

_________________________________________________

Personal Side

It truly is GOOD to be home.

We arrived safely from Ukraine on Friday night at around 11 PM.

I was back in the saddle early Saturday morning and stayed up all day.

Jet Lag has not plagued me at all.

I'm so thankful.

My daughter had her gender reveal party Sunday and we are having a BABY BOY!

We are greatly anticipating his arrival in December.

This holiday season is definitely going to be like no other.

No cookie decorating here yet......but I'm planning on

working on cookies during this holiday weekend.

And I have some VERY EXCITING news coming up soon.

Once I arrived home from Ukraine.....some pretty crazy things happened....

so buckle up and start anticipating some huge changes around here.

God is so good to bless me in this way!

Autumn is just around the corner.

I can't wait to start decorating the house for the season.

♥♥♥

Instagram photos for this week:

Happy Friday!

It's an extra happy day for me.

I'm sitting in the Lviv airport......almost ready to take off on the first of three flights

to be HOME late tonight. :)

Home Sweet Home.....Happy Saturday!

Here's some SWEET memories from my Ukraine trip.

Summer is fading......

Meagan's Wedding Shower Cookie Collection

My daughter, Allison, was matron of honor at her best friend's wedding in June.

Her BFF, Meagan, LOVES my sugar cookies.

She's been one of my biggest fans for many years.

So of course I wanted to make some cookies for her wedding shower.

It was so fun to take her wedding colors and make some elegant & pretty cookies.

And she was thrilled!

It always makes me so happy to delight others with something I love to do. :)

💗💗💗

Here's sweet Meagan (center) with my daughter, Allison (L) and me (R).

What a fun day we had celebrating her upcoming marriage.

CookieCrazie's Last Two Weeks in Review

 

 

_________________________________________________

Personal Side

It's been two weeks since I wrote my last CookieCrazie Chatter.

Last week my wifi was available to post it.

So here I am with two weeks worth of "chatter". haha

By the time this is posted, I will be well on my way back home from Ukraine.

We leave at about 4 AM CST time from Ukraine today

and will arrive home at nearly midnight Friday night.

It's a long weary trip......but we will be so excited to go home, that nothing else will matter. 

Our trip has been extremely fruitful.

And believe it or not, it has been one of the smoothest trips we've had.

We are so grateful for all the tasks accomplished......

but mostly the people we were able to encourage and brighten.

It has been one of those trips were the outcome is evidence of something

far greater than we could even imagine.

Thank you for your prayers and encouraging words.

I am so blessed to have such sweet supporters of my beloved ministry.

YOU are a part of it as you come read my blog and tutorials.

Thank you!

Next week.....after some recovery time......I will get back to cookies and being more active online.

♥♥♥

Instagram photos for the last two weeks:

Taking off for Ukraine today.....Excited.

200 cookies will be en route with me. :)

Happy Friday! We are currently in Vienna, Austria....

Happy Saturday!
I'm at a restaurant with wifi today and getting a chance to catch up on all-things-internet. :)
We are doing well and are accomplishing so much in Ukraine.

Continuing to take the passion of cookie decorating to the Ukrainian people.
Yesterday, we made 170 heart and plaque cookies for a basic decorating class I'm teaching
at the women's retreat on Monday.
I can't wait to share this with the ladies!! ❤

Happy Tuesday!

Flower Bouquet Cookie (Tutorial)

Flower bouquet cookies fit well with a prom or wedding cookie set.

This bouquet uses the CookieCrazie custom cupcake cutter.

Trim it as shown below.

Outline and flood the entire cookie in green glaze.

Wait approximately 30 minutes.

Pipe random stem lines all over the green glaze.

For added dimension, knead in a tiny amount of water to some green edible clay

and put it in a piping bag.

Use a #4 round tip to pipe some strong vertical stem lines from the bottom

of the cookie into the flared area.

Using a leaf tip with the same green clay, pipe random leaves all over the flared area.

Continuing with the green clay, use the grass tip to make lots of stems all over the top of the cookie.

Mold some edible clay flowers using a variety of colors.

Flower molds shown are here, here, and here.

Add some dots and shapes of glaze to resemble various flowers.

If desired, tie a ribbon around the base of the cookie.
