When sweet my friend Amy asked me if she could order some cookies I said no.

No, No, No, No, absolutely not.

See, she is quite the talented baker, and makes some pretty amazing cookies.

She knows what cookies should look and taste like!

I was nervous.

Well. She wanted them for her hubbies birthday… he likes froggies and the color orange. (I did make him some orange cookies that I didn’t include in this roundup.)

This is the picture I was working from.

Frog

I sketched an overhead view I thought might work and attempted to wrangle the illusive red-eyed tree frog onto a cookie.

When I told little baby froggie that I was sending him to his new home he was not too happy with me.

  1. Loved the video – your piping confidence is awesome! I think part of my problem is that I need to invest in a much smaller piping tip. yes, that will solve it all! (heh)
    Also, any chance *we* will get that hazelnut cupcake recipe? Hazelnuts and chocolate are just about the best combination ON THE PLANET…!!

  2. Well, you know me, I love to share every great recipe I know of! I will contact the business and see if they dont mind… thanks for asking!
    Be blessed-
