Hi.

Keeping the overthinking at bay with fondant. Cake decorating is my meditation.

Cookie Challenge Week 2 - Florals Week

Cookie Challenge Week 2 - Florals Week

Week two! Oh my god, it came and went so fast!! This week was a little bit of a rollercoaster, I had my first ‘I can’t do this’ by the time the weekend rolled around. And there was another do-over cookie because I just hated the first go around. But all in all, by the Sunday night post (scraping in at 11pm) I was so glad I set this challenge because even in just a fortnight I can already see progress and having a creative outlet is for sure brightening up the monotony of covid living.

This one was a little dream! Easy to pipe, simple design, I was in heaven.

Happy Burns Night!!! This little cutie became an homage to two of my favourite Scots, Rabbie Burns and Charles Rennie Mackintosh. I had so much fun reminding myself why I love them both so much while creating it.

Urgh, I do not like this one!!! This one started the meltdown. Those are not the kind of leaves you get on a tulip so why did I put them there? No really, why?? Answers on a postcard please

This was the full on meltdown cookie. The first version, I’m no joking when I say it was shocking. I could not post it. Thankfully, on the the redo I’d figured out all the pitfalls but oh man did it hurt getting there. Hop over to insta if you wanna see the disaster

See you next week, when I will be giving the cookie treatment to some of my favourite cakes.
