Lovelegant

My last batch of Valentine's Day cookies are done!


I think I'm finally feeling confident with the #1 tip.  
It's tricky, as it can get clogged up, but I was 
extremely patient today...maybe it was the cookies in my belly.


Seriously, I could shove my face into this cookie.


Feeling the love.


The black and white 'curly' design with
hearts were inspired by this lovely site.

Love for 7 points

 Let me spell it out for you.
I love Scrabble.
But I love my husband even more.



On my journey to create the yummiest board game ever
 it had to start with my 2nd love...dough.




Hello my friend, we meet again. 



Warm water and meringue powder whipped for
30 secs will look like fluffy clouds, like this.


7 Cup Mountain of icing sugar.


Give it a full 10 mins at low speed and it will look less icky.


Like this.  
Is it wrong to think I could bathe in this?


My little chocolate squares are ready for the oven.  
Yes, I measured them. 
Cause I'm a geek like that.


Yep, I'm corny like that.


Piped with a #2 tip.


Seriously, I do.


Might gross out the children, but it's a fact.


Can't lie.


Love Me

You can't eat just one.  
I tried.


Happy Valentine's Day !

Thanks to 'I am Baker' for her inspiration

Made With Love


If there was a way to bake without being tempted to shove my face into a bowl of batter, I would probably bake more often.

However, temptation aside, I volunteered to make cookies for my son's class for the upcoming Love Day on the 14th.


My Elegant Baker in training.


Such a hard worker.  
And much like his mother is already thinking about how awesome the batter will taste.


Me and Mine 


It's perfectly okay to get excited about really rockin' royal icing.


I'm committed to reading the labels more 
carefully, as Mint Flavoured toothpicks was not on my list.


Piles of cookies. 
Chocolate Cookies compliments of Martha Stewart
You'll find the yummy recipe here Chocolate Cookies


Sheldon has Will Wheaton.
Jerry had Newman.
Elegant Baker has dough.
Although every part of me told me this was made for my 
belly, most of this was made into cookies.  Most of it.


The benefits to a kick ass long harvest table.


My Elegant Baker in Training did a great job!


Perfect!



They were 'made with love'



with help from my assistant of course
