Penguin cookies

Image
Made these little cuties this weekend for my friend Leslie's 50th birthday party. As you could probably guess she collects penguins. It was my first experience using black icing - interesting. I had to remind myself that the color would darken after some time. At first it was an unappetizing gray-purple but as you can see it turned out black (as did our tongues after eating them). People say the black tint changes the flavor of the royal icing but I couldn't tell. Maybe because most if it was covered with white. It did take quite a lot if gel though. I used Americolor gel colors, in case you were wondering.

Meet me on Monday 9/20/10

1. What is your favorite all time movie? Gosh, too many to choose from. Most recently Inception  but Forgetting Sarah Marshall  ranks higher than that. My favorite classic would be Gone with the Wind . 2. How often do you go over the speed limit? I try to stick to it, especially in school zones (where lots of people blatantly ignore!) but every so often my mind wanders and I catch myself going more than 5 over. 3. What really gives you the creeps? Creepy crawlies like cockroaches, but if it can hurt me or my loved ones (black widow spiders, scorpions, snakes) then that's even worse! 4. What is your favorite snack? Depends on my mood. One of my faves is the Buffalo flavored pretzels from Snyder's. 5. Would you rather be a dog named Killer or a cat named Fluffy? Give me a dog's life anyday! Here's our lazy mutt - he has it so rough doesn't he? Linking to Meet me on Monday at Never Growing Old!

Hello bloggy friends! 2011 is off and running and as usual, so am I. I was hoping to get more recipes posted but just been too busy! With what, you ask? Here's a start... Onesie and blanket sets I went to a post-partum baby shower for two of my friends and wanted to stick with my goal for this year of making gifts - but what to do? Since the babies were already born in November, and also were the second child in each family, I knew the gals would already have all the basics covered. I did some crafty blog searching and found this tutorial from Sew Dang Cute for wide binding and mitred corners on a sweet little minky-backed baby blanket. Unfortunately I got lost along the way on the binding part, but figured out how to do it my own way and they both turned out terrific! Again, this is not my original idea  - all the credit goes to Tam at  Sew Dang Cute . If you like to sew I highly recommend giving this project a try - the blanket was easy to do, though I now wish I...
