Pure Sweetness

I spent yesterday baking cookies for my DD, sugar cookies and cut them into hearts.  I made pink icing and MJ decorated most of them for her class mates. They are having a valentines celebration today.  Not perfect cookie “decor” but she had fun doing them and they tasted great.

I also made a bookmark for her to give to her classmates along with a folded card for the top of a goodie bag that had a message on it, “U R GREAT” or or B Mine and on the other side “From Mary Jean”.  We stapled the folded card to the bag of candies and slipped the bookmark through the top.  I didn’t grab an image of the finished goodie bags but you can see the folded toppers and bookmark she gave along with the cookies.  She addressed them to each of her classmates.

And here is something I want to make later today from the bakerella site.

She provides her recipes and awesome step by step images of how to make them.


  If you haven’t gone to her site well your missing out.   Her cake pops and cupcake pops were so popular even Martha herself had her on her show.

    Love all of the cookies you and MJ made and those cards are too sweet. And I am such a fan of Bakerella, I just bought some of those long sticks yesterday so I can give those cake pops a go.
