Oh, fall! I grew up in Washington State and loved fall. The changing leaves, the crisp air, pumpkins, hot chocolate…sweet memories. Even though I live in Texas now and cannot enjoy the crisp weather, I can still celebrate through my sugar art! With fall comes my favorite holiday: Halloween! Every year we throw a huge Halloween party the 1st weekend of October. It is our Halloween kickoff party. The whole family loves Halloween so much that we volunteer at a haunted house for charity the rest of the month. If you are in Austin during October, please check out the coolest haunted house ever: www.scareforacure.org
Anyway, I am going off on a tangent…back to cookies! So, with every Halloween party comes my favorite thing: cookies! Even though I was flooded with several Halloween cookie and cupcake orders (which is awesome!), I was still able to make time for some project cookies. Here are my creations for 2012. They were pretty popular and our guests went home happy with their cookie favors. After several requests, I finally made Day of the Dead cookies as well.
