Cookie Cutter Crazy

I'm a little nuts for cookie cutters, I look for them everywhere.  So it's no suprise that I went to New York a few weeks ago and came home with a bag full of cutters.  You know most people go to Barney's or Bendel's not me, I bring home cookie cutters.  I then like to go through my entire collection and see if they can be used as any other shapes, like the tulip cutter I use to make shields.  My favorites were Santa Clause, which was on sale for 1 cent (I am a bargain hunter through and through) and a set of round cookie cutters which were smooth on one side and fluted on the other!

I Love my Pit Bull

I did this cake a couple weeks ago for a birthday.  They wanted it to look like the dog on the I love my pit bull car stickers.  I had a few reservations, but I think the dog turned out really well!

Easter Cookies

While Easter was yesterday, I refuse to admit that I'm late posting seeing as Easter candy is not even on sale yet. :) These were for my family get together yesterday.  I love the bright spring-y colors!

Baklava

I LOOOVE baklava!  I had it for the first time in history class and have loved it ever since.  I just bought it every now and then for special occasions (like when we suprised my parents with a trip to Greece!).  I found a reciped in Martha's cookbook and finally decided to try it.  To my surprise, it was actually really easy to make!  Plus, my fun fact for the day, it's actually a traditional Easter dessert, the 40 layers of phyllo represent the 40 day of lent.

So I've been away from my computer for a while now, but I have several new posts coming up!  I bought this cookie cutter last year and hadn't used it yet so I just made up a few extras to try them out.  I love these, sometimes the simplest cookies are the cutest to me!
