First blog post!

So here's the story. My roommate and i have been getting progressively more into baking/knitting/crafting in general, and we talked once about hosting a blog together. Sooo she doesn't know about it yet, but i assume that she will be excited and make posts too. Since i doubt we'll ever really get our own Food Network show on which we can display our many baking/cooking/crafting abilities, we may as well still share them with the world via blogging. Although i fully suspect that only about 5 people will read this...

Also, to be fair, credit should be given to my sister-in-law who has had a crafting blog for awhile now, that i read regularly (Craft Buff)

Anyway, i suppose i'll start with our most recent project which has been baking heart-shaped cookies and making valentines for, well, valentine's day. I know heart shaped cookies aren't incredibly original, but they look really cute, and are tasty!



We tried a few different ways of icing them. Allie made me use the piping bag, which i think would have been more successful if we could have found a smaller tip... she wound up drizzling icing on with a spoon, which looked really cool. I think the only piped ones that came out well are the little ones that have the hearts piped on them.

Also, she did some cool marbled ones, by putting on some blobs of frosting, and dragging the color around with a toothpick end.


More to come! we bake at least once a week... it's bad
