every day is the 14th
No offense to the friend who made the ones on the table, but they are not mine. I made the cupid in my hand tho!
In the end, 8 happy folks braved the snow to sit and smear sugar all over all of the cookies. Amazingly, they went through all the cookies by about 5 pm; usually I have to finish them off after people leave. I think I decorated about 10 cookies, all told! I was busy making frosting and eating loads of the fabulous blue cheese I had as part of my food spread. We ran out of confectioners’ sugar, unexpectedly, and I made the boy go out to buy more (good sport that he is, he did not grumble or even sigh, just went). Jaax, we missed you—two years in a row missed is no good at all.
Needless to say, I am exhausted! But really happy. Everyone but me and the boy was new to the experience, and there was a lot of skepticism, but I think everyone enjoyed it a lot. How could they not? The power of frosting is great; it converts all nonbelievers.
What a wonderful idea for a party . . . and your cookies look both beautiful and delicious!! I’m glad some of the decorators were able to make it over.
Wow, you take cookie decoration to a new level! I think mine would look more like your friends’.
So glad the party worked out so well in spite of the snow!
Your cookies make me want to lick my computer screen.
