Flowers and Owls!

As I have stated before, sometimes I bake just to bake! This would be one of those times...sort of! I have a wonderful "cyber" friend that has had sort of a rough week, so what better way to cheer her up than to send her some cookies! I also promised someone samples of my cookies so if you happen to be reading my blog today girls...check your mail boxes!

When this "no special occasion" baking occurs, I usually rummage through my 400+ cookie cutters and make whatever jumps out at me. This time though, I knew I wanted to make owls....hmmmmm, what goes with owls? Flowers were the only thing that I could think of so flowers it was! Even my color palette was not typical of owl colors but I already had this "pink" for some flamingos that I had made earlier in the week (sorry no pic of those) so I added more icing and paired it with brown...I actually love the outcome!



Whatcha' think? Would you mind finding these in YOUR mailbox? Enjoy girls!

Be sure and check back next week...lots of Easter ideas running through my head and I can't wait to share them with you!

Till then...have a great weekend and Happy Baking!


There's a skinny girl who lives inside of me that's screaming to get out...I can usually shut her up with cookies!

  1. I think those are delightful! I would ALMOST hesitate to bite into one, but not for long. I hope you don't mind that I "borrowed" a photo from your blog for my post today. Please let me know if you want me to remove it. laurie

  2. Your cookies are edible works of art...too pretty to eat. (but they make my mouth water.) I love your blog...it inspires me to be more creative.

  5. These are so cute. My daughter is graduating 4/29/12 from Illinois Wesleyan University and the Owl is her sorority animal. I would love to be able to make or get these cookies. They are so stinking cute. You are so talented. I just read your profile. I was just in Phoenix with my husband for a week. Great area!
