Baking Adventures and Fails

12:35 PM

It was the day before Thanksgiving. I had recently watched home videos of a previous Thanksgiving and was remembering the lovely leaf cookies we had made. I remembered how easy it had been.
I pulled out a five year old magazine and quickly found the recipe. I was right. Making the dough wasn't hard.
Then I realized to get the beautiful fall colors, I had to dye the dough. When I was done, I had three disgusting-looking bags of dyed dough. (Really, the yellow looked like mustard.)

Instead of following the instructions to roll the three balls into one ball to cut them out, I squished the colors together, which made the cookies look like puzzle pieces when they were finished.
Fortunately, the cookies turned out amazingly and tasted great, even though the appearance was a little questionable.

Yes, a terrible picture, I know...

FOR SALE

A beautiful gingerbread house for the lowest price possible!! Although a one-room home, it comes with a nice snowman blocking the door and large purple stepping stones leading to the house! Perfect for anyone who would like a collapsible house. (Warning, the door siding may fall off)

My little sister really wanted to make a gingerbread house, so I kindly agreed. To bad she abandoned me after it fell apart.

Needless to say, I quit soon after I had thrown on some decorations. The door decor kept sliding off because of the very thin icing.
It was really much worse than my leaf cookies.

Until next time!

Well, the cookies were good and the gingerbread house is kind of amazing but a little bit ruined. The kit was, like, three years old....we can just pretend the icing is leftovers from a blizzard.
And that (seriouslyyyy) WAS actually a really good picture of you. Just saying. :) You should believe me.
