Last weekend
I got together with the girls and we had a cookie decorating party. The
original idea was that we would have our friend C and her two kids over, so
that we could have a fun time with them, but they were not available. This did
not deter us; we decided to have the party without them.
In attendance was my friend N and her mom, me and my mom and our friend C. We were assisted by little C, who is about 18
months old and actually decorated cookies better than I did, I think. Excuse the lighting, the low winter sun was shining right in the window and made it really hard to get a good photo.
Everyone
brought snack foods to eat while we were hard at work; as hard as I tried to
eat only carrots and hummus, I think I may have snuck in a lot of cookies along
the way too. I mean, you have to try each type of cookie with each type of
frosting! Right?
My friend
made two kinds of cookies: sugar and gingerbread, and three kinds of frosting:
maple, orange and butter cream.
We had
several shapes, such as a bone, a star, a Santa, a couple of men, a heart, a
tree and a bell.
We used food
coloring and sprinkles to create our masterpieces.
We had a
great time, all of us adult girls, decorating cookies badly.
Have you ever had a cookie decorating party? Do you think you could do a better job decorating (meaning if you have preschool skills or higher) than we did?
Note: I just realized that my posts from the last few days were not showing up in Reader! After much detective work, I went to a site that I already followed and signed in, and VOILA, they were back. What the heck, google.
What fun! I haven't made cookies in ages... I'd love to do it with friends like that!
ReplyDeleteOh fun! Looks like a great event. I enjoy my gingerbread party but kind of miss the days of decorating sugar cookies. Although mine were always really ugly! i am better at gingerbread houses!
ReplyDeleteIt seems like everyone I work with has and is making cookies. I've never been to a cookie decorating party and that is probably because I don't eat cookies and the times I've decorated cookies they look ummmm...not so great :)
ReplyDeleteThe santa looks so cool!
That looks like so much fun and I haven't done that in years

I used to decorate a gingerbread house with my friends 2 daughters every year, too, but now we live too far away.
Even if you don't eat cookies, you can still cookie party!
Oh my that sounds like so much fun! I have never had a cookie decorating party but I did go to a class with friends and it was a lot of fun. Maybe I can help set this up for next year.
ReplyDeleteI've never really had a PARTY but I decorate cookies every year. I used to do it with my brother and my mom but now it's just her & me. We usually wait until Christmas Eve to decorate. They are pretty hideous but it's always a lot of fun!
