Little Pumpkins for Little Pumpkins

Some pumpkins and candy corn treats for some special preschoolers today. Just treats. No tricks!

Brown Sugar and Spice Fall Cookies

Princess Crown Cookies

Some sparkly princess crowns for a certain little princess turning 5.  I helped provide some take-home treats.
There was a bit of a cookie crisis when my royal icing decided to turn into sticky marshmallow fluff instead of drying and hardening. I was panicking. This happens to me very rarely, but it was humid the night I decorated them. I'm thinking that was the culprit.
I went ahead and dusted them with pearl dust and adored the way they sparkled. I think I may be obsessed with the stuff now. But there is still a fine haze of sparkles floating around our kitchen. And even after I showered, I am still shimmery.
The pearl dust actually helped and made it possible to bag them. It ended up working out and they ended up staying cute. I was worried!

Teacher Retirement Party Cookies

As if I didn't already have enough to do, I completely and willingly took a cookie order. Even with all I had going on, I still had fun making these. While I was tinting my icing this time, I used some different colors to achieve my pencil colors and felt like it was touch and go for awhile. I wasn't sure how close to actual pencil color they were, so this morning I grabbed a number 2 pencil to compare. And crazy as it seems, it was spot on! Lucky, lucky...
