fairy cookies

Jim terms these my vanity posts.  I spent 7 hours decorating cookies and want the world to know how cute they turned out.  Is that so wrong?!  I'm partly embarrassed to publish this when I haven't even written about the first day of school yet (my poor 2nd child has had no fanfare for starting Kindergarten!), but vanity beats embarrassment (so please say you love them and then I can happily move forward). 

This was an order for a fairy themed baby shower, and I found the inspiration from this amazing blog - Bubble and Sweet (you'll drool over her party flair).   

I've been off sugar for almost a month now, and haven't felt too much temptation.  But, I can't begin to explain how amazing these cookies smell.  This was my 7 hour pattern - decorate 15 minutes, sniff 1 minute, decorate 15, sniff 1...

Life is half-insane now that I'm teaching part-time.  So I've promised myself no more cakes or cookies or cupcakes until Azure's first birthday cake - which has, of course, been planned out since the day she was born.  I just can't resist.

I love them! They are totally darling. I'll be sad not seeing regular cake posts but I understand about needing to pull back.

I do love them - Yours are even cuter than your inspiration. I'm glad vanity won and you posted :)

Amazing! I love the details--glitter wings, cute faces, curly hair and all. So cute! I'm sure they were a big, big hit!

Amy! I didn't know you were doing no sugar...way to go! Those cookies are just about the cutest things I have ever seen.

Beautiful. Gorgeous. Of course. How can you make such pretty treats and not eat sugar? What a shame. I can not imagine life without that sweet goodness.

GORGEOUS!! They are beautiful! You are so talented - I love it! I am so envious! My SIL (Lindsay) said they were the cutest thing ever and they won over everyone at the baby shower. I knew you'd do a fantastic job just like last time! And no sugar - you go girl! Brave to make cookies and do no sugar - I couldn't do it!

Those are AMAZING!!!! I am just in awe! I just called my oldest daughter to come and look at them because she would love them. You are a miracle lady!

I can only stand back in wonder. I myself, am just proud of myself for mastering your Paradise Bakery Sugar Cookie recipe...they have saved many a back-to-school afternoon around here. I'll leave the frosting to you!
