The Joy of Baking Cookies

Last year, I signed up for a few of those Wilton Cake Decorating courses. I've always had a love of baking and I wanted to sharpen my skills a bit and these courses really helped. While I love to bake cakes, I have a whole new appreciation for cookies. When you bake a cake, you have one shot to: bake it, ice it, decorate it, and transport it. If you fail any of these steps, all of your time and effort could crumble in your hands both figurtively and literally.








Cookies are a bit more forgiving. I like to think of a dozen cookies as a chance to achieve perfection. If you mess up, no worries, just grab another cookie!
