It's my
annual baking bonanza! I am an enthusiastic baker (notice that I did not say good or skilled) but I find I rarely have time to do so except for
special occasions. However, I was so enamored by the
mooncake cookies that were made for the
Starry River Booklaunch that I felt like I had to make my own. And
holiday treat making was the perfect excuse!
Along with the Sasquatch's mom (Mother Sasquatch?), Saquatch's sister (Sister Sasquatch?) came to help me out:
Mother Sasquatch clued me in on the secret to perfect mooncake cookies-- the
adjustable rolling pin! It's rather amazing. The rolling pin doesn't allow you to roll your dough thinner than your chosen thickness so all your cookies are uniform:
But, the real magic (and fun) was using the mooncake molds:
Look how pretty they are!
But I have to admit, I love packaging:
I am particularly in love with my label. It's become an inspiration for a new baby book idea. I really hope it works because I ♥ it!
So, next time when students ask me where I get my ideas, I'll tell them I get them from baking cookies!
