It has been AGES since I've blogged! I feel so guilty! But life happens and with two active boys and a home-based business to run, my blogging goes on the back burner.
My Christmas cookie decorating has just begun! I'm done with the baking (for the most part), so I wanted to share my first decorated batch with you. A special thanks goes to Callye of Sugarbelle for the Santa Face tutorial, found
here at inkatrinaskitchen.com. It was just what I needed to decorate my first Santas of the season.
Not one for following every single step (I tend to cut corners wherever I can), such was not the case with this design. I really tried to do them just like the original. The only things I couldn't replicate were the rosy cheeks and black candies for eyes (I didn't have either of these). So my Santas are a little pale with black icing for eyes.
But do you think you would have noticed if I hadn't told you?
Check out these adorable gift trays! I found them at a local grocery store for $1.12 each! It was perfect for my Santa Face cookies. Each fit 6 cookies beautifully. I was so happy I found them! These gift baskets are going to my sons' Religious Education teachers.
My only regret is that I probably should have made more religiously decorated cookies for them. Oh well... It's not the present itself, it's the act of giving that's important, right?
