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!

Been decorating some cakes

Made some practice cakes and cupcakes, just to try out some cake decorating techniques. I'm still really green at it, but it was fun. Fondant modelling is exactly like clay modelling, except the medium is simply made of sugar, so its not too difficult for me to get some concepts right, although I think I ought to sit down with a real bouquet of flowers if I really want to get the roses looking better.
