Happy Harvest
Sugar is in season (isn’t it always?). I used the edible confetti from Ink4Cakes (http://www.ink4cakes.com/Confetti-Colored-Edible-Papers_c_57.html) to make the straw, hay, and corn silks. Love the texture it gives!
First Book
This is an organization whose cause I can “wrap my hands around”; my small contribution was cookies for their latest fundraiser. First Book gets new books to children in need. The local Buffalo advisory board has worked with school districts and partnered with businesses and community programs to do just that. It earned a 4 star rating (highest possible) from Charity Navigator- rating of non-profits on strength of their finances, control of administrative and fundraising expenses, and transparency of their operations.

Leaf it Be
The colors have been amazing here in Buffalo. Maple and oak and birch make for a lovely mix. The temperature is dropping now as are the leaves. Cookies in tribute to the stunning fall display courtesy of our yard (last 4 pics).
Happy Diwali 2013
Oh, the Festival of Lights! How can you help but like a theme of light over darkness, good over evil. …and the beautiful colors and patterns of India et al. More on those patterns next year. Forgive my crude interpretation of Lord Ganesh. Hope you enjoy them, Seema!
Hall-OH-ween 2013
More halloween. Bake, decorate, and repeat. Better get to the gym. Or yard work. Or shoveling snow (too early for Buffalo?).
Bridal Shower
Amanda and Ryan are tying the knot! Requested were engagement rings and hearts with the wedding colors of red and silver to be incorporated. There were 4 dozen cookies in their baker’s box of cookies (like to get a feel for how many are in an order and what that looks like) along with the “A loves R” favors (the 3 cookies fit into a long pretzel bag, then tied with ribbon). Sweet!
Turning 21
Now 100% legal! Two fantastic young men turned 21 last week; two different personalities called for 2 different cookie genres. I had trouble with color bleeding on the beer mugs but, luckily, our birthday boy was in it for the sugar rush. Used a different colorant for the yellow so maybe that is why it bled? I’ve trolled the web looking for answers but will certainly take any advise from the all-pro cookie crowd out there. Win some, lose some.
Got to love Ben Franklin and his wisdom (see pic).
