Back to cookies and lovin' it.
This last weekend I did a whole ice cream cone set....this weekend I'm doing two different sets.
I've got to build up my repertoire for August and beyond. ;)

Ukraine trip prepping is going well.
We should ship out all our supplies soon.
I'm gathering lots of cookies supplies for all the ladies that decorate cookies there. :)
We've had several cookie decorating classes over the years and several of them
have joined the "cookie community" as a result.

We're doing a block party tomorrow on our church grounds and
the temps are supposed to be in the upper 90s.
Oh boy!
Our choir is singing several numbers, so I think we'll be dripping wet by the time we're done.
But it will be so fun to share with our community.

Personal Side

This was a week of catch-up again.
I spent most of my Memorial Day weekend working on the UA Bible study for August.
But I did manage to bake some fun summer cookies to start decorating today.
Hurray! Back to cookies.....

Now that I'm working more, it is obviously getting more and more
challenging to fit cookies into the schedule.
It feels weird.....because for so long, that was my main "occupation".
But I'm loving my job and and determined to do a set of cookies every weekend.
We'll see how it goes.
I may have to get less sleep or something like that, but I'll make it work. :)

It's June.
Wow.
Time is flying away with us.
Let's keep seizing the moment and hiding away the memories.

Kite Decorated Cookies (Tutorial)





Awww......Kites speak of summer vacation and time to enjoy sunny and windy days
with those diamonds in the sky.

And kite cookies are really quite easy.
Add some bakers twine and you have a cute kite floating in the cookie clouds.


Start with a diamond-shaped cookies.
This is the set of cutters used for these cookies.
(I love Ateco cutters, by the way!)


Once the cookies are baked and cooled, you get to choose whether you want
solid colored kites or kites with multi-colors and patterns.

For the latter, visually divide the diamond cookie into four parts,
and add a pattern with the first color in triangles adjacent to each other.
(see photo below)


Wait 10 minutes and fill in the other two triangles with a second color and pattern.


For the solid colored kites, outline and flood the entire diamond cookie.

Allow them to dry for about 1 hour, and then use a cake tester to
add the cross indentations into the partially dried glaze.
(see photo below)


Outline each quadrant in coordinated colors.
(see photo below)


Allow the cookies to dry overnight.

Cut bakers twine twice as long as you'd like the "kite string" to be on each kite cookie.
Fold the string in half and then tie random knots through out the length of the doubled twine.
(see photo below)



Add a dot of glaze in the coordinating kite color to the center of the kite (at the cross point)
and press the end of the twine into the wet glaze.






So now, it's time to go fly a kite......in the cookie clouds. :)
