Did you celebrate Cinco de Mayo? Or do you have a fiesta planned later this year? My husband's family is from Mexico and we love to celebrate. No, I know it's not Mexican Independence Day and I know that Mexico doesn't celebrate the day. But we do, it's our family tradition and we love to have fun with it!
I created this set with maracas, talavera, sombreros and marigold flowers. All of these cutters came from Cookie Cutter Kingdom.
It took me some time to find a way to create the marigolds the way I envisioned. You can see a quick video here.
They won't dry perfectly smooth since you've painted vodka and coloring on them when they were wet, but I actually like the dimension and feel like it gives it a little something more to the floral petal look.
This past weekend I was commissioned by the amazing yarn company, Boye, to create custom cookie favors for their booth at the SNAP blogger conference. Isn't their booth simply adorable? I think it was the belle of the ball! I love that red bike and it was so fun to see the cookies in the basket.
I made yarn balls in assorted colors. These are quite easy to make and when placed all together, they are so gorgeous. I think they are a perfect cookie for a yarn lover!
There were dozens of cookies that looked like the Boye yarn flower that they demonstrated at the booth. How bright and cheerful are these?
And well, these granny squares are my favorite! I would love to create a table display with dozens of these sweet cookies.
Do you want to watch a video of me creating one of these granny squares? Of course!!
I think the crowd favorite though, were these matching red bicycle cookies. I need to make a whole set of these!
Thank you Boye! I had a blast at SNAP and learned so much. If you are interested in how to shape up your blog, you need to attend the next SNAP conference in 2017. So many wonderful classes and friends to make.
