“Sugar and spice and everything nice...” Popular 19th Century Nursery Rhyme
The baby shower cookies marked the arrival of a beautiful baby girl to our family. The bibs, onesies, baby carriages, rocking horses, bottles, pacifiers, baby rattles, and rounds were a sweet reminder that wonderful things come in small packages. Her two big brothers were fascinated with the new addition and excited to have cookies to mark the occasion.
Easter brings a lot of joy when it finally arrives. I have fond memories of new clothes, new shoes, and hunting for Easter eggs in the backyard. As a child, I was always fascinated by the beautifully decorated sugar eggs that held a tiny scene inside, usually of bunnies and flowers. How did that bunny get in there? Yeah, Easter is not really about rabbits and decorated eggs, but they do symbolize the true meaning of the season...abundant life and new beginnings made possible by God’s unimaginable love.
This is my “ ’fess up” page. I made these cookies simply because I was experimenting with embossing on homemade fondant mixed with sculpting chocolate and I wanted to see what it would look like. The result was a lot of embossed flowers and squares.

When I was done with my experiment, I bagged up all the cookies and gave them to my sister. She has a knack for finding people who actually want to eat my experiments! She’s the best sister.
