Christmas 2012 Petit Fours



Tried switching things up this year and made some petit fours. I think I might need to accept that anything in cake form, unless it's a cupcake, is not really a good medium for me to work in. This was my first time trying these, and it will probably be my last unless I learn an easier way to make them.

These were made of red velvet cake and brownies.

Christmas 2011 Cookies






























Some of the Christmas cookies I did last year. Both gingerbread. The center of the snowflakes is isomalt. Surly gingerbread men ftw.

Veg


















Veggie (and egg) cookies, for my pescatarian cousin Victoria. :) These are some of my favorites.

Sudoku

















Sudoku cookies, for Nancy.

Moar Birds
















I mentioned that I like birds, right?

CNY Rabbits

















Rabbits, for Chinese New Year. :)

Tiny Bluebirds
















These were pretty tiny. I like frosting tiny cookies

Mondrian
















Mondrian cookies, for Kat. We've been to the MoMA a lot. :) Ever seen the Mondrian cake? Very cool.

Henna

















Henna cookies for Niki! Experimenting with piping.

Pandas
















Made these for Kat's art show. Someone asked me if I used real pandas in these cookies; my reply was no. Just panda extract.

Guitars
















Guitar cookies for Russ. Finally, a reason to use my damn guitar cookie cutters.

(more under the break)

Hachikuro
















Honey and clover sandwich cookies, kind of a cookie homage to the series...Honey and Clover. I looked into types of non-opaque frosting, hoping to actually make the honey look like honey, but couldn't find any options at the time that would dry hard and taste good. Maybe isomalt next time?

Da Bears
















Bears! A gift for my cousin Victoria.

Frog Cookies


I discovered about a year ago that I really frigging loved decorating cookies, so please be prepared for some bakingspam.

















These were the first cookies I ever tried to decorate properly with royal icing; they're kinda weird and the icing was a little too runny. But I was happy that after getting an electric mixer, my icing turned out matte for the first time.
