More Cookies!

Gosh I've been so busy lately, there's at least a hundred things I want to do but so little time for them all :( I've a list of hobby to-dos, which could last me well into my retirement, and I'd probably only have accomplished half of them :D

I can't believe how much time it takes to decorate cookies. Its a lot of intricate work, planning and preparation. I'd be mixing colours one Saturday morning and ziip! It's already Sunday midnight and I'm only just putting on the last bit of details on them :( But its nice to be absorbed into cookie decorating. Its relaxing and therapeutic - only if I'd remember to eat and drink water on time. The last time I was so obsessed that I worked myself into starvation was at age 12 and I just discovered reading manga online.

Anyways here are the cookies :

Green tea butter cookies made pretty with filigree white icing. I had extra cookie dough and felt a little experimenty, so I added a little macha powder. Surprisingly it turned out good! Except I'd have to have less sugar in it next time :D And I'd like to see where I can fit azuki bean somewhere in the mix! Maybe a sandwich cookie with cream and red beans?
Continue to see the doughnut, ice cream and totoro cookies after the jump!



Aaand the doughnut cookies! Dont they just scream D'OH! to you? :D cuteness!

Ice Cream cookies. I really really regret not taking the work-in-progress pictures :( 

Many ice cream cookies in pink

They're pretty sweet, but the chocolate icing is the best part.

 Gosh! The ice cream cookies were so much fun! seriously! I wouldn't mind if it was my job to make hundreds of them everyday for the rest of my life. If anybody should want to commission cookies from me, PLEASE LET IT BE ICE CREAM COOKIES! From the diagonal stripes of its biscuit cone, the lumpy droplets of the melting ice cream to the rainbow sprinkles against the dark chocolate background, I just can't get over how adorable they are D:

We're serious fun.

Every time I make a batch of decorated cookies, I learn new things and pick up tricks that help streamline the decorating process. Its really exciting and when that happens, I'm just so encouraged I want to decorate cookies every non-working hour of the week!

Of course the best part is when you brighten up someone's day with an incredibly adorable cookie :)
