Petit Gateau

Thanks for coming over today!

This week is all about these cookie cutters,

the latest treasure I found at the

Housing Works Thrift Store.

When I'm hunting around at thrift stores, I usually look for

books, things for the home and lonely objects waiting

for a blah to TADA! make-over. Cookie cutters like

these are unexpected and even surprising that

they're in good condition & a complete set at that.

Here's what I'll use my cookie cutters for:

I bought some ready-to-use rolled fondant.

It's easy to use with professional looking results!

If you've never worked with fondant, it looks &

feels like clay. Pull out a piece and roll it out with

this special rolling pin that has rings to control

the fondant's thickness.

Take out the cookie cutters & punch away.

Make sure to keep the excess fondant in a zip-top bag

or air-tight container.

Doesn't it lend a special TADA! touch to a home-baked,

home-decorated cake?

It's a personal cake for a lovely birthday girl named Zoe.
