Oh man is there a lot going on here. Those cupcakes alone look light and moist and delightful and then you go and pile on some pretty, fluffy, buttery icing mmmmmmm. And THEN you make little heart cookies and you ice them BUT you use MORE icing to make them all fancy and swirly and amazing. Then you PUT IT ON THE CUPCAKE! I'm so exhausted. I can't eat. I need a nap.
If socks really did have faces, what do you think they'd want to talk about?
I'm sure the evil queen is NOT happy about her collar being broken, and in front of Snow White!

When I was a kid my mom had a cookbook all about how to make creative cakes with nothing but a round cake pan, a bundt pan and a square pan. She made caterpillars and castles and Snoopy and all sorts of amazing creations but I don't think I ever saw a donut. It's so simple it just slipped under the radar.
Red and white do make a fantastic combo, don't they? And snowflakes are so satisfying in their symmetry and fragility. Basically, winter is magic, and the buttery, spicy delicious treats we get to indulge in without any guilt make the holidays rich. Bring on the cookies, I'm ready!
They can be tough to spot lumbering through the grass but I hear it's good luck to find one in your yard.
These cookies look incredibly delicious yet at the same time, more than I want to eat them I want to use them as tiles for a kitchen backsplash. If only I could do both!
Now that I'm getting older and slowing down a little (LIES!) and not raging six nights a week like I once did, I can imagine eating bright green donuts shaped like sweet little bears without feeling queasy in the least. There was a time when even the hint of breakfast would send me wretching. I'm happy to be able to appreciate the cuteness and whimsy of green icing.
Imagine waking up on Sunday morning after a super fun night out on the town for your friend's birthday. You're exhausted, you're sore, your voice is hoarse from proclamations of merriment, your hair smells funny and you still have one sock on. Now imagine that this donut appears on your nightstand. Feeling a bit better now? I thought so.
I've never been a huge fan of syrup so this photo speaks directly to my soul. I'm not sure if that's icing, cake batter, melted ice cream or what, but whatever it is, I want it in my mouth now.
These guys seem a little hesitant to get all excited about Spring and Easter and all that. Kitty is full on terrified, bunny is just kinda going with the flow, ram is taking things head on and frog is just chiiiiiiiiill man.
I've never been any good with actual yarn, perhaps I could master the art of icing crocheting in time for my cats and dogs to have babies. Wait, they're not having babies! WHO WILL I BE GRANNY FOR?
