Strawberry Sugar Cookies | Copper Cutters


I've always been a strawberry fanatic.  When I was little, every birthday cake was strawberry, I even had my own little patch.  There is nothing better than real, real tiny strawberries picked from a patch.  


Here is a post of Emma picking strawberries when she was little (littler) > 


Emma and I made these after school this week.  I've become a fan of more homemade looking sugar cookies, with soft buttery icing (recipe).  They are more forgiving to decorate and are so, so yummy.  And what is better than homemade?

Here is my Sugar Cookie Recipe >

As you can see, they are super simple.  Here are the tools I used when making sugar cookies :

Copper Strawberry Cookie Cutter
Large Baking Sheet
Parchment Paper Liners
Disposable Pastry Bags


The Copper Strawberry Cookie Cutter are made locally and are packaged ready for gifting.  They come in a Cellophane bag, with a recipe card and tied with a bow.

If you don't use Parchment Paper - you should.  They fit perfectly on the large sheet pan, are non-stick and save you from scrubbing your pan.  I can't say enough about them!

Lemon Cream Tartlets | Emma's 1st Baking Gig

Image
Each year I volunteer to donate the desserts for the annual celebration dinner at The Sheffield Place , a facility that serves homeless mothers and their children.  ( You can read about the past posts and desserts here .)  This year, since Emma has taken such an interest in baking, I decided to let her take the reins on this project.  We selected the menu together (I had to rein in some of her ambitions a bit... ) but I put her in charge of the baking, decorating and display.    Robin's Egg Blue Enamelware Trays, $22 There were to be 40 guests at the dinner, so we decided to make 26 Lemon Tartlets and 26 Strawberry Macaron.  I'll save the Macaron recipe for another post - stay tuned for that. For the tarts, we used store bought pie crust.  Emma would've preferred that we make "scratch" dough, but I wanted to make as little mess as possible in the kitchen since we were also tackling macaron in the same day. All we did was roll it out a bit thinner than ...

This Week's Menu | Slow Simmered Bolognese, Goat Cheese & Caramelized Pizza, Lemon Chicken

I can not believe it is already the third week of October.  My heartaches a little thinking about it.  The weather is perfect.  Skies are blue, leaves are gold and red, air is crisp - perfect.  I can not get enough of it.  We've been a bit on the run for the last couple of weeks, so I'm going to really try to slow down and relax this week - long walks with Emma and D, easy dinners that leave us a time to play outside in the evenings (before it gets too dark!), and less working.  We have nothing on our calendar for the rest of the month besides a couple of halloween parties and I couldn't be more glad.  Time always skips a little faster for me because I'm already working on packaging up Thanksgiving products this week.  There is a lot of wheat involved (hint, hint).  I do have a couple of more Halloween projects to share, though... I've been dreaming about some Peanut Butter Cup inspired Cupcakes that will come in the next couple of days. Hope...

Easy Flower Adorned Heart Cake | Homemade Valentines

Image
My sister and I grew up enamored by cake decorating.  We spent some favorite mornings at our Aunt Joanie's house watching her decorate wedding cakes.  From the ages of 7 on, we often spent our Saturday mornings making our own creations out of buttercream.  About 10 years ago, I became intrigued by more 'homemade' looking desserts and cakes (ala Barefoot Contessa), likely as I was establishing our own home and style and craving that home-y feeling.   In this iPad era, one of the only things Emma is allowed to watch videos of is DIY creating.  She loves watching playdoh video creations and has recently become fascinated by watching cake decorating videos, too.  Of course, I'm happy to encourage any hobby that interests her - especially in the kitchen.  So, I've dusted off my pastry decorating skills and we've really enjoyed making buttercream creations.  We created our own Youtube Video you can see in the post below. Do you remember the decadently s...
