Pumpkin Spice Sugar Cookies

September 23, 2018

I could not be more excited that it is finally the time of year for me to share this recipe with you. My Pumpkin Spice Sugar Cookies are everything! Hands down, these are my favorite sugar cookies! They are amazing with my cream cheese glaze (which I will share with you below) or even decorated with royal icing. I have to warn you, though, once you try these… you may not be able to go back to normal sugar cookies every again!Read More »

All About Royal Icing

July 12, 2018

Oh, royal icing. We go way back. I can’t remember a time that there wasn’t always a container of the stuff sitting on my counter. As soon as I use one batch up, I am making a new one. While I do love working with the icing, like any relationship, we definitely have our ups and downs. I am going to share my tips and advice with you in this article. Most of that comes from the lessons I have learned through making mistakes, and from years of experience in working with royal icing. Maybe I can save you from learning some of those lessons the hard way, and help you discover some tricks of the trade much faster than I did.Read More »

My Favorite Royal Icing

July 10, 2018

I can’t get enough of royal icing. Nope, I just can’t! I love working with it over any other form of edible decorating. Obviously, I use it on cookies, but I even like to make cake toppers out of royal icing. I feel like I really get to express my creativity when I work with it. I have been using royal icing for a long time… over 10 years! During that time I have tried and used many different recipes. This allowed me to see what worked best for me, and play around with ingredients until I found what I now use and love. Read More »

Easy and Delicious Quick Pour Icing

May 16, 2018

Quick Pour Vanilla Icing

This vanilla icing is my “go-to” icing for just about everything. It’s SO flexible! You can play with the consistency by adding or subtracting the milk to fit your needs. I use it most often for bundt cakes, but it also works perfectly drizzled over bars. I even thicken it a bit for cookies and then top them off with sprinkles for a quick way to add a little something extra. It’s simple and beautiful just as is, but it takes to food coloring well so you can add some color if you’d like.

Aside from it tasting AMAZING, my favorite thing about this icing is how it sets. It doesn’t necessarily harden completely… it still has a nice soft texture when you bite into it, but the outer layer dries perfectly! I’m pretty much saying, once you let it dry, you won’t have a runny mess!Read More »

Hello and welcome, friends. My name is Katie, and I am the proud daughter of a hardworking farmer. I was born and raised in southern New Jersey where I currently live with my loving husband and three amazing little boys. I am always looking for an excuse to bake, and decorating cookies is my favorite. It makes my heart happy to feed people, but sharing how I do that with you might make me even happier!
