The important part here is that the fondant you use tastes good. I used a buttercream fondant and it is delicious!

High school Re-June-ion Party favors 2021

It never crossed my mind that I would have a high school reunion living in a different country from where I grew up, but it HAPPENED… and it was in June! So I am not kidding when I said it was a Re-June-ion! 

This was such a beautiful event in my life, growing up in Mexico in a small town, you kind of go to the same school from kindergarten to high school and your friends become a very special part of your life, because besides watching you grow, they share almost the same experiences, and have the same values. 

Oddly enough, four of my friends that live in the US now live in the same city and three of them even live in my neighborhood! And even more odd, three of us grew up living the same street! Weird right?

So you can imagine how many experiences we have shared together and how exciting it was meeting them after more than 30 years!!

Due to the pandemic we changed the date of the reunion so many times and finally agreed to meet in early June. It was not in my mind to make cookies for this important event, I was so excited that I didn't think cookie for once in my life. A few hours before the reunion, I had the idea of making some photo cookies and started gathering the pictures. I always have cookie dough and royal icing ready, so I put my self in action and made the cookies! 

You can watch the video on how to make these cookies here:

For these cookies I used the following materials:

 I know very few men that don't like sweet treats, most of the ones I know, LOVE sweets and they don't care too much if they look picture perfect, they put more attention in the taste of the treat and sometimes they preferred them just as they come out of the oven, like these heart cookies. ( My husband does! )

No importa cuál técnica utilices para  decorar tus galletas de arcoíris, de cualquier modo se verán muy bonitas. 

En el video de esta semana comparto como decorar una galleta de arcoíris sobre una galleta de forma de nube utilizando tres técnicas diferentes.

En la primera utilizo una paleta de acuarela de pintura comestible para pintar el arcoíris, esta es una técnica muy fácil de usar y es muy buena para niños, ya que no se hace mucho tiradero y los niños disfrutaran mucho decorando sus galletas.

Kah-pee-roh-tah-dah is how you pronounced this beautiful word, that just the sound of it transport me to my mom's kitchen...

Lent food is very unique and there are dishes for all kinds of paletes, I remember some of sisters dislike some of my mom's  lent dishes,  like 'sopa de haba" ( Broad bean soup) or the  "tortas de camarón con nopales" (shrimp cakes with cactus).  So sometimes we all were not very thrill about lent food, but we all were thrill for lent dessert...CAPIROTADA!! 

 One of my family favorite dishes during lent is TUNA PIE!

This recipe has been in my family for so many years, I remember that when I was a little girl every family road trip include a TUNA PIE! 

The day before my mom started cooking the pies and sometimes ROMPOPE! Yes, this might sounds weird, but we had to travel "My mom style".  And the food was part of the road trip experience!

I made these cookies inspired in a vaccine and these cookies will be a great Get well soon gift! 

For  these cookies I used  different techniques, like  watercolor technique using sweetsticks paint.

I used edible markers for other cookies. 

Here is the video where you can see how I made them. 

I hope these cookies will inspire you to make some cookies for your love ones! 

I love to use flowers to decorate my cookies, I normally made them with royal icing, but for this project I wanted to have a more defined and realistic flower, so I investigate a little bit and found this silicon mold to make flowers, and I could not resist it and order it. 

You can make the fondant or purchase it already made, you just need to be sure that your fondant last good, several people dislike the tase of fondant, so if you are going to add it to a delicious cookie, you don't want the flowers to ruin your tasty cookie. 

This fondant "Fondarific" is a buttercream fondant and taste delicious! 

I think these cookies are perfect for a sweet treat on Valentine's Day, but also I think you can use the flowers to decorate cookies for many occasions! 

Can't wait to see what ideas you will get on how to use this fondant flowers!

 Every year I look forward for the time to make Valentine's Day cookies. This year I have some ideas that I can't wait to put in action.

In this post I am sharing with you some Valentine's Day Cookies I had made in the past and will link the videos so that you can see how I made some of them.

I love to use the wet on wet technique to decorate Valentine's Day cookies. I am not sure why I like this decorating technique so much, maybe it's because you can create several designs with not so much effort and the cookies look really cute and yummy! 

Here are some pictures of mini heart cookies made with this technique.
