Mason Jar Mini Cookies

Since Christmas will be upon us soon, it is time to start thinking about Christmas cookies!!! This year I am selling mini cookies in mason jars. I have decided that there will be four themes available....Christmas Joy, Childs's Dream, Outdoor Fun, A Child is Born. Whichever theme you choose the cookies will be decorated according to that theme. The jars are available in small(pint)and large(quart). If you want more information about these or have any other questions, please email me at: sugarfairysweettreats@gmail.com or go to my facebook page: www.facebook.com/SugarFairySweetTreats and leave me a message there. We can discuss the details of your order then. Just a thought if you are looking for a unique gift for someone who is hard to buy for or perhaps even for your boss! Who doesn't love homemade sugar cookies, especially at Christmas!!!  Until next time..Happy Baking!!!

Thanksgiving Cake

Hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving!! Desserts are always a big part of the holiday meal so in keeping with that I not only had pumpkin pie and pumpkin roll, I also made a Thanksgiving cake.  I got a new play toy, an airbrush; so I wanted to try it out. I only airbrushed lightly so it doesn't really show up all that great in this picture but it really did make the cake look nice. The buttercream icing was a very light gold and then I airbrushed it with orange just to highlight it. Anyway, hope you had a great day with your family yesterday and were able to "Give Thanks" for your many blessings bestowed upon you in your everyday life...Enjoy and until next time...Happy Baking!!!

Happy Thanksgiving

Hello Everyone...

Thanksgiving is almost upon us so to help get in the mood I thought I would post a few pictures of some turkey cookies I made and a turkey cupcake cake...two easy desserts to make for Thanksgiving dinner...of course for next week I am also making a Thanksgiving cake so that picture will come later...one thing I noticed AFTER doing the turkey cookies is that their wings are too fat and they don't look like wings at all!! Next time I will have to fix that!!!  Enjoy, thanks for stopping by, feel free to leave a comment if you are inclined to do so and until next time.......Happy Baking!!!!

Day of the Dead Cookies

Hello Everyone:

How many of you have ever heard of "Dia De Los Muertos?"(I think I have that right)...it is a Mexican Holiday that is celebrated on Nov. 1st and 2nd to honor those who have passed on. It is a happy time-not sad..to celebrate people make sugar skulls. I have never made any of the sugar skull cookies so I thought I would give it a try...I think I did pretty well for the first time doing these. What do you think?

Witch Hat Cake

Hello Everyone:
I hope you all are surviving Hurricane Sandy. Being in the NE we have had mostly wind today, however; it is raining since early this afternoon but nothing like I am seeing on TV. I hope all of you are safe. With that being said, on to the reason I am posting.

Halloween is upon us so to celebrate I made a Witch Hat Cake. I actually think it turned out pretty cool. I am happy to be able to add this to my portfolio of cakes that I have learned to make!!!

If this is your first time visiting my blog, please leave a comment. I would love to hear from you.  Until next time.....Happy Baking!!!

Halloween Cookies

Hello Everyone:

Just a quick post today for Halloween. I went to a class and we made these spider web cookies....not bad for the first time doing them.  The spiders are made out of fondant...I think they turned out pretty cool. Enjoy!! Until next time..Happy Baking!!

Fall cookies

Hello Everyone:
I absolutely love the Fall with all it beautiful colors. Not only did I make a cake to celebrate Fall, as seen in the post below, a week later I decided it was time to make some Fall cookies. So I pulled out my Wilton Fall Leaves cookie cutter set and some new plaque cookie cutters that I got from www.KarensCookies.net and started to bake away. I ended up with some pretty nice looking cookies. Enjoy and until next time....Happy Baking!!!
