after my seven hour gingerbread baking nightmare at christmas, followed by the subsequent death of my "these kind of taste like poison" sprinkle collection, i decided to hire a helpful bear as my baking assistant this time around. things tend to go a lot smoother when a bear is involved. did you know that bears make excellent baking assistants? they like to do the tedious jobs that foxes hate - like using a rolling pin (instead of just smashing the dough with my hands), cutting out shapes (with minimal swearing), and cleaning up (i love him).
with bear doing my dirty work i was free to focus on decorating, which is really the only reason i like baking anything. for gingerbread cookies i like to use trusty ol' cake mate icing tubes because i'm lazy and i like the taste of chemicals.
this upsetting display is all that remains of my sprinkles. i used to have SEVEN different sizes and colours of heart shaped sprinkles alone! i can only hope that time (and buying more sprinkles) will ease my pain...
can we please discuss the cuteness of baker assistant bear decorating cookies? it makes me feel so many feelings.
so many feelings.
as with my cupcakes, i try to achieve a healthy ratio of frosting to baked good. i don't understand math, so i don't know what ratios are, but i do understand cuteness and i feel like it was achieved.
how did that little black grinch heart get in there?
aside from the overwhelming feeling that my gifts are squandered each day that i'm not working in a bake shop, i was pretty pleased with the results.not at all wasting my life,
love so pauvre

funny part is that my favorite one was the black one. i was like, asymmetrical hearts?... holy shit! then i read that it was your singular grinch heart and i chuckled to myself. that's right, chuckled.
i love your cookies. :'( (single tear).
the black grinch heart! hahahhaha
these are all so adorable.
rip sprinkle collection.
Nicely done, they're super cute.
These are adorable as is the couple baking and decorating process - you guys are so rad:D
I will explain ratios to you in exchange for 8 of those cookies.
My word verification is 'hermies'. Is that super cute or am I just tired?
I love baking. I especially love the tedious intricate parts of baking (aka. the parts you hate). I'm excited to make Springtime gingies next.
Also . . . Valentimes is serious times.
this may be one of my favourite all time quotes:

Bahaha, my eyes went straight to the black heart!! Seriously, those look delish, and seriously, why don't you work in a bake shop? Do people in Pennsylvania not hire out their baking???
Very adorable indeed!
This post hit me at a particularly vulnerable time - right before lunch. Now my lunch looks like crap and all I want are these cookies!

idea time! Lets move to CA and start a bakery. I am pretty good at the technical stuff and you are awesome at decorating. Lets combine our powers and do this. I already have a name picked out. Its the same name I use for my bakery series on my blog (Ive only posted one vid but a second will be up tomorrow). The name of the bakery will be Moist Muffins and our tagline will be "come munch on these muffins." Word.
