Summer cookies are so much fun to decorate! The bold, bright colors make each design "our most favorite yet!"
We received an email from my nephew's wife, who was coordinating a family reunion being held in our County at a local beach. We don't get a chance to see this young family very often since they moved to Oregon, and we were delighted when she asked us to bake some cookies decorated in a beach theme. She suggested sandcastles and any other 'beachy' thing we might come up with.
These were the li'l creations we made. We had no cutters for these, so it took a while to design a castle we liked; one that would hold its own in a bag of goodies for the guests. Add a few sea creatures, some sugar 'sand' and a splash of the Pacific along the bottom and they were ready to go.
Once the sandcastle design was finished, we brainstormed about other similarly themed ideas. It seemed obvious. You can't make a sandcastle without a pail and shovel, so we rounded out the order with the cutest little pails! These were seriously so much fun to work on. Again, we had no cutter, so they took a bit longer (okay maybe more than a 'bit'), but the bright colors kept us smiling the whole time.
And of course, the photo shoot! One of my joys!
Thank you Nikki, for allowing us to be part of your family's reunion. We hope everyone enjoyed the cookies and that memories of good times will bring you and your family back again soon!
'Love you!
