Dressy Flowers (September 2013)

Okay, I might have a sickness.  Anyone reading through the past several posts might have noticed just how many batches of cookies I have made in the past 2 months.  I decided to start this blog in November, so at this point, I'm still posting pictures retrospectively, trying to catch up to present-day.  I can't believe how many different cookies I made in August-September.  
And, this post is going to seem just, well, silly.

 

I remember feeling an itch to bake a batch, and I found inspiration in the most unlikely of places (my daughter's closet).


Thank you, Gymboree.




I just loved the color palette, and they were pretty easy to put together.  Again, I used Sweet Sugar Belle's tip on how to modify the shape of an existing cutter (to add leaves to the flowers), and most of them stayed intact after baking.


Have I mentioned my obsession with minis?  I tried a few variations, subtle, but different.  I like the 6-petal version the best (and I've since modified it from this batch to add some additional texture and dimension).




A pretty platter, but for no particular reason, so I decided to bag them into little favor bags, and give them to my mom who was going with her long-time friends on a "girl's weekend."


Hey, always better to give than to...eat.
