a first annual cookie decorating party

my great friend radhika & i hosted a cookie decorating party for our children's friends & families on Sunday. both of us were novices at this type of event, but thought it to be a great tradition to start for our families.

we got together on friday and baked quite a few sugar and gingerbread cookies. each were cut out as holiday figures and then we froze them, to keep them yummy, until sunday's party.

though we had some last minute cancellations the party went lovely. each family decorated six cookies with a variety of goodies, including m & m's, gumdrops, sprinkles, licorice laces, candy corn, and three colored icings. their goodies were packaged in little, brown craft paper boxes and sent home for the families to enjoy or give as gifts.

amazingly clean-up wasn't as bad as i'd expected. sprinkles and two year olds doesn't always match! and i learned that my husband is pretty handy at decorating cookies.

below are a couple of pics of wilhelm's masterpieces. uncle justin helped wilhelm to start, then daddy took over.
