In The Kitchen: Stained Glass Cookies, Valentines Cards and Cupcakes

This week, we busied ourselves in the kitchen to prepare for our upcoming Valentine’s Party.  We tried our hand at making some stained glass cookies.  It was a fun project and we learned several things we should do differently next time.  The end result wasn’t nearly as pretty as I had hoped for but then again who can expect perfection on the first try right?

Any recipe that involves using a hammer in the kitchen has to be a winner right?  Good thing Dad has been taking her to all those Lowes Build and Grow clinics.  That girl is a pro when it comes to crushing candy with a hammer.  Luckily, Macca had given us this cute little flowery hammer a few years back.  It made the perfect kitchen tool!

 

Taking a quick cleanup break…apparently the trash will fall out if you tip the can over.  She wasn’t as excited about this part of the day.

Batter is all done…time to take a taste test.

Time to roll out the dough….wax paper is my new best friend!

We also decorated a few cupcakes to munch on over the weekend.  The heart sprinkles were a hit!
