SMILE

More Birthday Fun

It's been a fun day in the Land of Cookies.  
These particular cookies are for a special boy I know.  
I can't believe he's turning 11!  Happy Birthday Nathan!  Enjoy!

I MUST get a new camera.  These didn't turn out very clear.

Happy Birthday

I love making birthday cookies! I put these in an arrangement for the recipient. I flaked and didn't take a picture all arranged but it looked nice.


I read on Cookie Crazie that it was easier to attach the sticks to the cookie wrapper just before arranging them. I have attempted this more than once and I'm not totally convinced.  It does eliminate the problem of inserting stick immediately after baking the cookies, working around the stick and breaking cookies because the stick makes them less sturdy.  However, I don't feel like the cookies are as steady in the arrangement.  If it's a large arrangement, then I use different size sticks to get varied heights.  If I decide to change the arrangement, it's a pain.  SO putting sticks on with heavy tape makes that part MUCH easier.  I just think they are a little wobbly.  I'll keep working on it because the pros outweigh the cons.
