Hot Diggity Dog!!!

We went to a barbeque Sunday night and brought hot dogs:

I saw that there was a cookie cutter for these hot dogs and I really wanted to make them!  But of course, I didn't have the cookie cutter.  So, I googled how to make your own cookie cutter and came up with quite a few inventive ways to do it!  This is what I did:

I wanted my cookie cutter to look like this:

So, I took the lid of an aluminum catering pan and marked off two inch strips: 

I folded the top and the bottom to the middle, and then folded it straight down the middle:

I then worked on shaping the cutter:

And this is what I came up with:

The cookies were a little big, but they were cute!!  I also mixed a lot of orange, brown and red together to get that perfect hot dog color. 



Ladybugs Galore!!

I was asked to make cookie favors for a one year old's birthday.  So, I made almost 50 pink ladybug cookie favors: 

Since I had SO much fun making these ladybugs, I made some more for a dinner that I had to go to:

And this is what you get when you run out of black icing but you have leftover dough:

Aren't they cute??? 

The ladybugs I made for the dinner were just made using a circle cookie cutter.  But when I was making the favors, I wanted the shape to have a body and a head.  Since I didn't have a cookie cutter in the shape of a ladybug, I had to design my own.  This is how I did it:

First, I used two cookie cutters - a large circle and a smaller circle:

Using the smaller circle, I cut out a small piece of the larger circle: 

I then put the two circles together, forming the ladybug! 



Citrus Slices

I always wanted to try this design, so today, I did!!

Farewell, Friends

Friends of ours will be moving in ten days.  They had an open house today to say farewell.  So, I made house cookies for them.  We will miss them dearly!!
