Well it's a brand new year! I'm pretty excited about 2015. Did you make any New Year's resolutions? Mine are: Ride my bicycle more, work less, sleep more, eat less. Build more memories soaking up time with my children and grandchildren. That about sums it up for me. I worked til 3am 2 of the last 6 days, so I need to get better with the sleep resolution and I had to say no to a play date with the grandkids on one of the days because I needed to work, but it was a last minute request and I was on a deadline. But other than those, I'm really trying to prioritize. So bring on 2015! I made these fun moose cookies to match my grandson's moose outfit that I got him. I liked them so much, that I've made them a few times already!

I'd like to introduce you to Marcus the Moose. Isn't he fun! I used him for cookies that were labeled as Merry ChrisMOOSE!, but they are also fun for "I MOOSE tell you that I love you" for Valentines Day cookies! You can get your very own Marcus the Moose cookie cutter HERE

and you probably remember Marcus has a sister named Mellissa the Moose too. Cookie Cutter also available HERE
Okay if you didn't smile from the cute moose cookies above, then Aidan's smiley face with his moose shirt will certainly make you smile!
I MOOSE tell you that I want steal some snuggles from this little cutie! Happy New Year everyone! I hope 2015 is amazing for all my cookie friends!
Moose blog background for today:
Your moose cookies are almost as cute as your grandson. I believe you are a glaze girl. Do you pipe the design outline in a thicker consistency black glaze, and let it dry before filling in each section?
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for sharing!!! Joyce:)
Hi Joyce, You're right that I am a glaze girl :) I do, however, use a Buttercream Icing for my black outlines. I let the outline fully dry before I fill with my glaze icing. My first year in cookie decorating, I only used glaze icing and I oohed and aahed over all the beautiful creations of the royal icing gals. Since glaze lays flat, I wanted something that would stand up a bit for my outlines. So my second year in cookie decorating, I used royal icing for my outline and also for writing. Royal Icing and I never became close buddies, not fully understanding each other, so last year, I made a switch to Buttercream Icing for my outlines and writing and my original glaze icing for the flood and all details. I hope this helps. Feel free to send me an email or message if I can be of further assistance and thank you for your kind comments! Cristin
