Tis the Season

I am not a big fan of sugar cookies. Sure, they taste fine but I've never felt they were something special.

However, they are the perfect canvas. And tis the season right? So I decided to get to the best part of the holidays, decorating. Cookie decorating.

Since I was bringing these to my internship I didn't want any denominational issues and since they were for a surprise baby shower for someone in the office, they were snow themed and blue because shes having a boy!

I love everything about pastry bags, colored icing, sparkling sugar and delicate dragées.
