One of the winners of the free dozen cookies requested some Chinese New Year cookies.

She sent me a picture of an idea she had and I thought it was adorable!

The Chinese New Year officially begins on Feb. 3rd and this is the year of the Rabbit.

I just love that little hat and queue! (Chinese ponytail)

I must tell you… I have never wanted a KopyKat so badly as I did with this. Piping out each bunny by hand and trying to get them to look like each other was giving me brain aneurysms.

And hand cramps.

But as I always say, it was all worth it in the end.

Happy Chinese New Year!!

And just so you know, I am almost posting a tutorial on the Rose Cake on Friday! (or tomorrow if we can get homeschooling done in a timely fashion!) I dont usually post three times in one week, but I couldnt help but share these with you on an appropriate date. (as in, not late!)

Thank you all so much for your kind birthday wishes!

Share with your friends!

  1. After the baking has been done and it’s time to sit down and decorate cookies, how long does it take you to decorate a dozen cookies with a medium amount of decoration?
    I am amazed at your ability to do such intricate art work on cookies.

  2. So cute! Your piping is perfect! And I feel like I should have already known this (I’m sure you’ve mentioned in on your other blog… but I tend to keep up with this one more), I didn’t know you homeschool. We do too! =) I like you more all the time! =)

  3. First of all, buy a kk. You deserve it. I’ll send u discount codes. Second of all, with four kiddos u will need the extra time. Just because can doesn’t mean you should. Happy birthday to you, hope you get a kk. It will give you more time with the fam. Ps, I’m amazed more and more each day with what you’d with glaze.

  4. So adorable!! I am soooooo happy that you are posting the tutorial for the Rose cake…you just made my month!!!!!!!!! You are the best and such an inspiration!!!!

  5. It’s amazing to me that you didn’t use a kopy-kat projector because they all look as perfect as the next. I applaude you for using your God given gift of hand/eye coordination and your own artistic ability. You are a cookie master in my book! I bow down to you.
