I know, I know, it's so easy to get distracted by all of the gorgeous cookies gracing our home page galleries each day, and to forget that there's more to Cookie Connection than just photos...
This was my first attempt at making a birthday cake in cookie format. I must say, it was fun to make . . . and it was even more fun to watch my friend's surprised face when she got it!
Following on from my wisteria and butterfly post, I’m still in a flowery, summery mood (ignoring the rain outside). Unlike many of my tutorials, where I plan carefully in advance, sketching out ideas, or even drawing out designs in detail...
