My daughter got the play-doh cake making station for Christmas so since the weather has been nice we went outside and made some cakes (and cupcakes).  Very fun...and not quite as messy as making the real thing. ;)

Happy Valentine's Day


My daughter's Mother Morning Out program was planning on having their Valentine's party this past Thursday.  To much joy of all children...we got snow!!  Not much but as most to the area know one single snow flake will shut a city down.  So her program was closed this past Thursday because of the snow and since they were having Valentine's Day that day I made cookies intending to give cookies as her Valentine.  Well I had a bunch of cookies and no kids to pass them out to and since we got the announcement early enough I had fun decorating Valentine cookies with my daughter.  She is a lover of sprinkles and if she could have her way she would just sit and watch me while eating sprinkles straight from the jar.  So since I wouldn't allow that she would decorate a cookie with sprinkles and then eat the cookie.  (As bad as that sounds I promise I only gave her a few and they were the tiny cookies. The big ones she decorated were saved to be enjoyed another time ;).)   So here are the cookies.  I am not very experienced in the cookie baking world...this is only my second time making cookies to decorate and decorating them.  I was having a few issues with the pipping...I think the major problem that was going against me was that I was extremely tired.  So Happy Valentines Day to everyone!!
