A new hobby (maybe even an obsession)

My name is Emily, and I want to be a cookie decorator.

In December I developed a healthy obsession with learning how to decorate cookies. I don't want to learn how to decorate just your average ole' cookie, but cookies like these cutie owls. (Owls came from http://www.sweetopia.net/)

What I quickly discovered was that making owls from sugar is hard (deep thoughts by Emily).

There are so many ways of decorating cookies; you can cover them with fondant, rainbow sprinkles, simple chocolate or vanilla icing, royal icing and the list goes on and on.

I'm overwhelmed with the possibilities, so for now I will idea-stalk these websites. Maybe by spring I'll have inspiration to pull out my baking sheets and make some cookies.

And I will read and re-read this book from mommy-dearest
