Favorite Font Cookie Cutters

Pam Sneed

February 24, 2016

I have a confession to make.

I dislike writing on cookies very much!

I always feel like my handwriting looks juvenile and ugly.

One of my solutions is to communicate words via alphabet cookies.

And I have a very favorite alphabet cutter set to share with you....

Cakes N' Supplies by Ximena

offers several really cute alphabet sets.

And my favorite is this

Alphabet Block XL set !

Personal Side

More Christmas around here.

The two cookie sets I made this week are some of my favorite cookies ever.

I'm super super excited to show them here on the blog. :)

Lots of things going on......

The biggest news......my daughter, Allison, is getting married.

I'm happy for her.....but hesitant.

They are young.....minimal jobs.....no plans to further their skills.

But at the same time.....it's time for her to get on her own.

So I'm growing in to the "happy mother-of-the-bride" place.

The wedding is at the end of May.

That should be interesting since I'm going to Italy at the beginning of May.

:)

Thanksgiving......two weeks away. Oh my!

I'm excited. Most of my family will be here to celebrate.

Christmas decorations start going up around here next week.

Now that I've got the bulk of my Christmas cookies made for the blog......

I can plunge into decorating the house.

Christmas music will be blaring.....and this house is going to be glowing soon. :)

Instagram photos for this week:

Happy Friday!

A small peak at one of my Christmas projects I just finished up this week. :)

THIS is creating a heavenly gingerbread smell in my kitchen right now.
Mmmmm....:)

Last week I strung cookie lights for the "tree"
....next week I'll string lights for the real trees around the house. :)

Decorating the Christmas Tree..... ;)

Spelling the Autumn Season in Cookies (Tutorial)

Pam Sneed

November 14, 2013

Even after several years of cookie decorating......
I still don't like how my handwriting looks on a cookie.

And yet.....I love conveying messages in my cookie collections.

Enter these cute little letter cutters from Hobby Lobby.... :)

They are a little tricky to get the sugar cookie dough to release from the cutter.

But if you gently coax them out with the end of a paintbrush (or something similar)

you can get them out minus too much damage.

When you bake them up, include a bunch of shapes that you can put behind them.

In this set.....I used regular sugar cookie dough for the letters and

chocolate cut-out dough for the background cookies.

This allowed for very little decorating.....but still quite a bit of "pop" in the final appearance.

I "glued" the letters to the background cookies with glaze.....

and then outlined the letter and the background shape.

Easy peasy.....

In the next set, I outlined and flooded the letters in white.

On fluted squares......I decorated lots of different "fallish" patterns.

Adding the white letters on top worked out well.

And finally.....to get even more fancy with letters,
pick a theme and make a different background shape for each letter.
Make sure you pick sizes that will work well together.
You can decorate as detailed or as plain as you'd like with the various shapes.
