If you know me at all...

...you know that Halloween is my favorite holiday of the year!   Sure, I love Christmas too and it is a very close second, but there is nothing more fun than decorating and baking for Halloween!

These could possibly be the, if not one of, the cutest cookies I have seen yet!  Now, I wish I could take credit for the creative genius behind these designs, but I cannot...that honor goes to Lisa at The Bearfoot Baker!  When she posted them on her blog, I knew I had to give them a try!  I would change how I did things a little next time, but over all, I was quite pleased at how they turned out.

I mean seriously how cute are these little 3D spiders?!  Here is an even better look:

I was a little skeptical that I would be able to execute these, but Lisa was sweet enough to assure me that I could do it, and I don't think I did too bad for the first time!  All the pieces for the spider are "Royal Icing Transfers" that I made ahead of time and applied to the wet icing.  Next time I think I need to make my legs a little smaller and my heads a little bigger...his eyes practically consumed the whole face, but I still think they are pretty darn cute!

Thank you Lisa, for sharing your tutorial!

Till next time...happy baking!
