Easter time!

Including egg and chick cookies and pear bunnies.

Bunnies were made with love by Luke (been doing it since the 3rd grade!) from pears, raisins, cashews (should be almonds), dyed coconut, and cottage cheese for the fluffy tail.

Dyed eggs

Done with food coloring. Results turned out mixed.

I should probably just concede that my posts will consist mostly of crafts and baking. 

Football party brownies:

It probably would have been nice to make the stripes prettier (made from melted white chocolate chips), but I ran out of time.  I also didn't have a football shaped cookie cutter, so I made one from a soda can (similar to my mario kart cookies).  However, brownies are tricky to cut, especially around the edges, and the aluminum wasn't quite up to the task.

I also made chocolate covered peanut butter balls shaped into footballs.  Those weren't very pretty, since I was still putting them together when people arrived.  But at least they were tasty.

Valentine's Hearts:

These are the usual cutout cookies I make, as explained in this post. I think valentine hearts are my favorites.

I found some purple sprinkles from a Halloween pack, so that was nice to have some variety from the pink and red.  I suppose I could make purple icing, but I have trouble getting the proportions right.
