HAPPY BIRTHDAY GINGER COOKIE


When I realized THE GINGER COOKIE would be a year old in April I thought we should celebrate - with ginger cookies of course! The year has gone by very fast and we have learned so much. Our thanks to the many cookie bloggers with their good ideas, tips and tutorials - you are an inspiration to us. Our goal is to share what we do and have fun along the way. No pressure! Right?

In our family we celebrate birthdays with cupcakes. We started out with decorated cakes but as everyone grew older cupcakes became more popular with us - and this long before their recent popularity.  I remembered I have a cupcake cookie cutter with a candle on top and I thought it would be perfect for birthday number one!

 
But - April is almost over and I don’t have time to bake and decorate cookies before the end of the month! And so I scanned the cupcake cookie cutter (say that five times fast!) and decorated it on the computer. See my butterfly post.

The great thing about decorating cookies on a computer is it’s so easy to change the design -
ADD MORE POLKA DOTS?
try something different -
 
TAKE AWAY SOME POLKA DOTS!
 have too many ideas and 
HOW ABOUT STRIPES ON THE CUPCAKE? 

get lost in what you’re doing.

DO SOMETHING ENTIRELY DIFFERENT!

It always seems to take longer than you thought it would - but it’s so fun! There is one problem! You can't eat an image . . .
