This post isn’t about a cake, but I’m pretty proud of my cookies!
Earlier this week it was in the -30 to -40 range in Saskatoon. I’ve been spending a lot of time at home and I thought it might be fun to get together with some friends. I put it out there fully expecting to have it at our place, but kind of hoping our friend with some adorable kittens might offer up her home. And she did! So a bunch of us got together to have a “Sunshine and Hot Chocolate” party. I found out some of our friends hadn’t seen the movie Little Miss Sunshine which is one of my favorites, so we watched that and had hot chocolate to stay warm.
We had hot chocolate with a lot of yummy toppings, lemonade, popcorn, lemon squares, angel food cake, and since I had some time I decided to make some Little Miss Sunshine sugar cookies.
I got a photo from the web and printed it out. Since I didn’t have a cookie cutter in the shape I wanted, I cut out a white area around Little Miss Sunshine and used that as my template to cut out cookies with a knife. I also made some cute flowers in the style of Roger Hargreaves. I noticed all of the flowers in his books are white with yellow centers so that’s what I did. I used runny royal icing to fill in the white, yellow and red of the cookies and then piped black royal icing for the details. My hands were so sore! But I love the results!
The table looked lovely and sunny. It was lovely for a chilly winter day.
And hanging out with kittens was a bonus
