Christmas Cookies 2014

Christmas Sugar Cookies Decorated with Royal Icing

So here's what I've worked on for this Christmas!

25 gift boxes- each with 6 snowmen and 6 snowman faces.....

Rudolph love!  Big ol' hearts for noses....

More Rudolphs.  The side-view is a new cutter for me this year.  I have a love/hate relationship with this guy.  Love the look.  Hated getting the dough out of cutter.  The antlers fought me.

Christmas cupcakes....

Stockings.  I love wet-on-wet for stockings.  So fun and such pretty results.....

Christmas Trees....sprinkles, decorated, snow covered.  A lovely Christmas forest.......

Personalized Snowmen as a corporate thank you gift.....

Personalized stockings for a family.....

Snowman Love!  More hearts.  The heart sprinkles are new so I had to use them!  I thought they'd be cute on snowmen......

But I got a little carried away.  Hearts as cute rosy cheeks?  Nope.....

Santa...I love that big ol' Santa.  He's a new cutter this year.....

Hedgehogs and Stockings.  No, those are not porcupines.  At least they're not supposed to be.  :)

They were to go along with a gift of The Mitten to some pre-schoolers. This photo was sent to me......

When thinking about the design for the hedgehogs, I thought that chocolate jimmies would work perfectly.  Not.  Looks like a hot mess......

I made lots of cookie pops this year.  Christmas tree pops.....

Santa's Mustache pops....

Stocking pops.....

Here are just some of the Christmas cookies.......

Shew!  What a great cookie month!

The Camera Lucida app allows you to see your cookie through your iPhone or iPad. When you look through the screen, you can see your cookie plus any image that you'd like - right on top of it.  You simply trace or pipe the design right onto the cookie!

Giveaway - Camera Lucida App for Cookies

Giveaway - Camera Lucida App for iPhone / iPad

If you decorate cookies,  you've probably heard about this app.  I first heard about it from Sarah of Klickitat Street.

It works just like a KopyKake, only no huge piece of equipment and no heavy price tag.

The Camera Lucida app allows you to see your cookie through your iPhone or iPad. When you look through the screen, you can see your cookie plus any image that you'd like - right on top of it.  You simply trace or pipe the design right onto the cookie!

Here's Sarah demonstrating the app.  It's amazing!



Check out Klickitat Street blog for a full tutorial.

Anita from Sweet Hope Cookies used the app along with a handheld projector.  You can watch that video here.

Camera Lucida isn't just for cookies!  In fact, it wasn't developed with cookie decorating in mind.  You could use the app with actual paper as your canvas instead of cookies.  Who would have thought?

See the Camera Lucida website for ideas on how to use the app and to watch demos.
