First order for New Year’s! In 4”, 2”, and 1” sizes. Makes me wish it were cold outside.

pillows for Lauren
I made these pillows for a friend of mine who loves color. Don’t they remind you of the sun and the sea? :)

some cupcakes with royal icing flowers
I made these for a pop-up shop event last summer. Sort of like the subtle palette. Photos courtesy of Kate Sears.

Some amazing images of the cookies from my good friend Kate Sears.


a few things to do with shortbread
Ina Garten’s shortbread cookie recipe is, to me, pretty perfect. (Welll, I do add a little extra salt, but I always do that with cookies.) Roll them out thick (1/2”) and dust with powdered sugar when cool for single-serving cookies; for ice cream sandwich layers, roll them out thinner (1/4”) and dust with granulated sugar before baking.
Thank you gifts:


(so happy I learned from confettisystem not to be afraid to sew onto paper!)
Ice Cream Sandwiches:
Carefully wrap the bottom layer in foil, to hold in the ice cream until it’s frozen and wrappable:

After about four hours they are ready to wrap in wax paper:

…and eat:
