Frozen Inspired Princess Crowns

It was only a matter of time, right? I knew there would come a day for Frozen cookies. These were some heavy cookies. They felt like they had real jewels! But they were super fun to make. The sparkly ones always are.
I was beginning to add the details and Mitchell said, "Why are you adding stuff?" When I finished, I showed them to him. I had not mentioned I was making Frozen princess crowns. He looked at them, gasped, and said, "Mommy, it's like the movie. There's snowflakes and everything from Elsa's crown. It's just like the movie. You made a part of the movie! I cannot believe it!" Completely made my day! And made me more secure that little kids would indeed think they were "like the movie."
Happy Birthday to a special 5-year-old!!

Nursery Themed Cookies

Spontaneously I decided to make a few cookies for Erin and Michela for our visits this week, because every new mom needs sugar, and I decided to do them based on each of their nursery decor. I didn't have the actual cutters I needed and improvised. An egg cutter made a cute owl, a heart with an arrow passed for a bird, a monkey face and ears became a cute frog face, and I cut out the turtles on my own. I had a lot of fun on these quick cookies. Mitchell had a lot of fun begging for leftovers. He got to decorate a couple of his own.
