Pink biscuits? Yes please!

A few weeks ago we threw a little baby shower for one of our best friends. She's having a little girl next month, so we got some food and non alcoholic punch together and all ended up on one hell of a sugar rush!

I made some cute 'baby-grow' shaped cookies for us all to nibble on, and I have to say, I'm quite proud of the way they turned out!

I bought a baby-grow shaped cookie cutter (about 10cms wide and high) from eBay, made a simple sugar cookie recipe. 

I flavoured the icing with a bit of a strawberry essence and coloured it (probably a little too much) with red food colouring to turn it a lovely bright pink. I found the easiest way to get it on the cookies was to use a stiff bristled paint brush. 

Then I added a little bit of piping from some glittery pre-made icing from Dr Oetker (available at your local supermarket) and voila, home made baby shower cookies!

I'll be back...soon!

So I started a new job on the 11th July, which is why I've gone deathly quiet here on the blogging pages.  However, now that I've settled in, I will be back yabbering about random things, food, music etc, very very soon.

I recently went to the Secret Garden Party festival, so stay tuned for a little rundown on how FANTASTIC it was!

I'm going to the Candlelight Club this Saturday night for a good ol' girls night out.  Think 20's styling, great cocktails, a band, light supper, dancers and all lit only by candles.  I'll reveal all next week!

I'm going to my first baby shower next weekend.  I've never been to one before.  I know there is going to be so many cute tiny baby things, that I think the girls and I might just explode with over cuteness (if there is such a thing)!
