It’s been some months since Cookie Con, a convention for sugar cookie artists. This is the third time I have been able to attend and this year I decided to stretch myself and enter a piece into their Sugar Show. Each year they have three different categories and four different…
Valentine’s Day is tomorrow! I don’t know about you, but January just felt really slow. While I don’t wish away any season, with the ice storm and then the snow storm we had in Charlotte (11 inches! what a record), I’m ready for a little bit of warmer weather. The…
Fall is my favorite season. The kaleidoscope of colors never ceases to amaze me each year. And it’s this time of year that I want hot apple cider and anything pumpkin. For these cookies the flavor was pumpkin spice latte, and they tasted so good! (My new fall favorite!) For…
