Okay… finally, the post from last weekend. My camera never did wake up by the way. But I did manage to get all the photos off using a friend’s card reader. Yay! Unfortunately, no built in card readers on my printer or computer… Boo!
And, I would have posted this last night, but I spent the evening at Pioneer Woman’s book signing in Atlanta. Fun! Fun! More on that soon. Thankfully, I did have a working camera with me for that. A brand new Canon Digital Rebel XSi that I borrowed. It’s nice having generous friends. But, I kinda wish I hadn’t started using it. I might not be able to give it back. Bigger screen, More megapixels. And I’ve convinced myself the photo quality is far superior. It is. I know it is. Maybe my camera will be unfixable. Is that a word?
Anyway, here’s the goods or goodies from last weekend.
It’s coming up on Christmas, so I wanted to make some decorated sugar cookies. But I didn’t really want to make traditional Christmas shapes. So instead, I used a cute little cupcake cutter I recently bought. I also went with a less than traditional color scheme and chocolate sugar cookies to help make the colors pop.
I love sugar cookies. Too bad I love them more than they love me. I’m still trying to perfect my piping. I will not give up. I will have non-lumpy lines one day.
These were two of the better ones.
These … not so much. But squint and they’ll look better.
See …… Okay, I’m kidding. I kid. These are the good ones. Well, the better ones anyway.
It helps to plan ahead when you work with royal icing. Draw out the colors you want for borders and the colors you want to fill with in advance.
The cookie recipe is from the book, Cookie Craft. Get a copy if you have any desire to learn how to make these kind of decorated cookies. It’s jam-packed with tips and tricks.
Or maybe you’ll win this.
Yes, the original Cookie Craft came out with a mini Cookie Craft Christmas book.
Also with recipes, ideas, and tips. It’s very cute. And small, which you know I like.
You’ll also get this cute 2-piece cupcake cookie cutter set. Love it!
And some cupcake stencils. You can use these on cookies, too.
A cupcake-shaped cake tester. This totally unnecessary utensil was too cute to pass up.
And so were these mini spatulas. I bought all the goodies (except for the cookie book I picked up at the bookstore) from Crate & Barrel if you want to look them up. I like finding cute things. Hope you like them, too.
And it all comes stuffed in a sparkly stocking.
Enter to win it all.

I want to spend time with my family and friends and eat !!
And i would like some time to bake. I really like to bake !!
I want a white Christmas!
I would like to retire early!
I want to enjoy my youngest daughters 1st christmas, and it wouldn’t hurt to get a new sewing machine!!! i would love to win this prize also!!! :) wishful thinking!!! i love your creativity!!!
Oh my! Besides wanting all those goodies you’re giving away, I would like a ukulele. I think they are such cute little instruments and I want to learn how to play it.
First off, I LOVE this post. Nice one!
For Christmas, I want my brother and sister-in-law to be with the rest of us, so that I can take my first family portrait with my (too) brand new DSLR.
Other than that, a new pair of hiking boots and a lovely cup of tea by the open fire at mum and dad’s. Perfect.
All I want for Christmas is a cute party dress from Ann Taylor LOFT that will drive my husband wild :)
This year for christmas, I just want snow! The forecast isn’t looking good so far, and I don’t know what I would do! I’ve never had a christmas without snow.
A Bernina sewing machine would be nice, since my sewing machine is old and has broke again, a die cutter since my first crafting addiction is scrapbooking, but of course these are all just dreams this Christmas. Especially since my dog gave me a 500 vet bill for Christmas but at least she’s alive. What I really want is my 3 girls to be happy and understand the joy and reason for the season! I hope I win the stocking!! Pick me random number picking thingy!!!!

For Christmas I am hoping to get a laminator! And winning this contest would be an extra special treat!
I want to spend lots of time with my 2.5 year old and see the holiday through her eyes. Lots of fun explaining baby Jesus to her. And good weather for smooth flying!
This Christmas I would love to get a new Nikkor 70-200 f/2.8 lens! Maybe get a Nikon D700 thrown in there just for the heck of it!
hmmm…so much thinking about what to get others, I’m not sure what I want…a new camera…a gym membership and trainer…an extra hour or 2 of sleep…
I want that cookbook! Please help me make my Christmas dreams come true!!
I want lots of snow!
There are two things I really want for Christmas. One is in Mother Nature’s hands and the other I know I won’t get, but still want it! First, I want more snow. I love snow this year! Second, I want a Kitchen Aid Stand Mixer.
I want my adult children to take a family protrait. It’s been years and they just hate doing it! Keep your fingers crossed that they will find it in their hearts to take a pic.
I want to be YOU! You are amazing and I love following your blog!
I want a new TV. I broke mine (darn!)
I want this!
Grace D.
I want a certain relationship to blossom. That would make my Christmas one to remember.
I’m spending my first Christmas away from home, so I want all my little brothers and sisters to Skype with me on Christmas morning so I can still feel that excitement even though my husband’s family is all grown up :)
I would like to spend time with my friends and family i haven’t seen in a very long time!! I guess i would settle for a stand mixer too!! :)
I can’t believe you think these cookies aren’t perfect!
For Christmas I want to make sure I take time to enjoy this last holiday while my husband and I are child-free! I know are lives are going to be different in February. It’s a good different – something we’re ready for – but I don’t want to let this holiday season pass without taking plenty of moments to breathe it all in and appreciate what we’ve had the past four years as a married couple.
I’m just dying for a new kitchen sink. But this would be a nice substitute!
I LOVE this – I’ll have to buy one if I don’t win it!! Adorable cookies. Now I’m hungry :)
I want….to teach my dogs to bark, “Jingle Bells,” just like the record!
I want 30 minutes to myself, to be able to soak in a bubble bath in silence, with no noise…and no kids!
I want to forget about work for a WHOLE day :)!
If my dreams came true, my 14 month old would stop teething so I could get some sleep again and my hubby and I would stop arguing. From santa I would like a new camera and computer though
I’m Jewish, so I dont celebrate Christmas, but this Hanuka, I would like to be with my friend and family eating lots of oily foods including my home made Jelly Doughnuts!!!
Love the cookies!!
On my Christmas list is spending my second Christmas with my husband and waiting for the March arrival of our first born!! I also want t sewing machine so I can sew him some super cute things!!!

I would also love to win this – That would be fun.
This year the only thing I want for Christmas is to see my family who lives in Florida. I know that won’t happen until May but I can always wish! :)
I would like more time to try making your cupcake pops! Also, for our military to come home safe soon!
I want a Christmas full of family, laughter, and good food! Love the cookies – you are very talented.
I want my step-kids to have a very Merry Christmas. The past couple years we always scrimped to get them what they wanted. This year we are fortunate enough to not have to do that. I also wish for Christmas that my husband’s business will last through this winter. It lasted through the last one and all year in this economy. If it can go through this season, I think things will pick up. Oh, and for me…..a new mixer since I just ruined the beaters on my old one ;)
I want my son to be able to drive home from college for Christmas, and to be safe and sound on his way here and back to his dorm–especially having just experienced a winter blizzard.
I want the rolling pin spacer thingies that help you roll something with a consistent thickness. It would be a refreshing change for me!
What I want for Christmas is for my family to just be safe and secure and happy and for us to be able to spend as much time together as we can (without choking each other haha!). Sounds perfect to me. I’d also love to use these on Christmas yummy!
Love these cookies!!! they look so cute and yummy!!
I already know what I’m getting for Christmas… (saw the mister order it) a Shiny New Candy Apple Red anniversary edition KitchenAid Mixer!!! Now I just need to win these goodies and I’ll be busy all holiday Season long!
I want my grandpa to be well enough to be home for Christmas rather than the hospital. I want him to have a wonderful Christmas with his family with him.
I would spend the X’mas with my family, just resting at home and bake some cupcakes.
I would love a holiday in Ireland. Your pumpkin pie idea was grand and a big hit the other day at an early holiday lunch.
I want a new point & shoot camera since mine is acting funky.
I’m going to enjoy my first Christmas with my twin baby girls! I’d like a fantastic camera to capture them with.
I would like to go on a European tour. Hopefully it comes true someday.

This Chritmas I just want to spend time with my family, dosent matter how, cooking, cleaning, baking, watching movies….dont care :)
Lots of Love to everyone and Merry Christmas!!!
I’m glad to see that you have generous friends. I really enjoy seeing your pictures! For Christmas I would like a new oven that doesn’t lean so that my cakes come out even!
I want the same thing that I’ve wanted for Christmas since I was 6 years old, Health and happiness for my family. We spent every Christmas for 35 years wondering if it would be the last with my Dad and this year will be the second without him.
For Christmas I want to cherish the time I have with my family both near and far. I also wouldn’t mind a new camera!!!
I was so happy to meet you at the book signing the other night! We met just as you were leaving. My friend is a big fan of yours and she was jealous!
Anyway, I want a personal XMSirius player to bring to the gym and to have at my desk at work. I am tired of listening to the radio and don’t want an IPod either.
I am wishing for weather that lets me make it to MN to see my family — and maybe a kindle!
I want to start baking for Christmas again! Haven’t done it for years! Maybe these cute cookies are my inspiration – I actually ventured downstairs and dug out my gramma’s mixmaster from the way far corner of the basement. It’s all cleaned up and shining on the counter, just waiting to go!
I made your cake pops for the first time this past weekend for a cookie exchange party. They all had never heard of it and I told them about your blog! Will be making more for Xmas!!! Mom and Dad are coming to the US at Xmas time so we’ll spend it together – the first Xmas together in 10 years since I’ ve moved here! So special!
Some nice lenses for my camera and snowboarding gear……but really, just to see smiles on my children’s faces!
I want to spend time with my children and husband!
I love your blog Bakerella. I was hooked after seeing the surprise engagement post. That was the sweetest thing!
My wish for Christmas is a Flip Ultra HD camera. I want to be able to film stuff rather than just take photos of it.
My outrageous wish for Christmas is a BMW 330.
My wish that has already come true is a great hubby who for some reason lately has been really sweet. Should I be suspicious?
I want one of those nice KitchenAid mixers… or a food processor.. ^_^
A tiny video camera to catch all the fun stuff my son does. The cookies look great!
I would like time for Christmas. I want a comfy afternoon nap and to spend some quality time in my kitchen baking for my family and friends. My cookie to do list is getting mighty long.
Merry Christmas everyone!
I want to spend some quality time with my husband. We have been away from each other for a long time and it will be so nice to snuggle up by my on-laws’ fireplace :)
Hey Bakerella!
I would love to get a cute apron,preferably a vintage looking one from Etsy!
Love your beautiful cookies. You are an artist! I’m hoping for a new stove for x-mas!!
Thanks
Krista
I want!! i want!!
That stuff is too cute not to try and get in on.
For Christmas, I would like to spend time with my family and figure out what to do next with my life. Also, a KitchenAid Stand Mixer. ;)
For Christmas–I just want safe travel for all of my family getting together–especially my brother coming home on leave from Afghanistan! I love being with family this time of year and am also very excited to have my husband back from Iraq (he missed Christmas last year). I couldn’t ask for more than to be surrounded by those who I love the most.
I want to spend time with my family. I also would love a Cricur Create for my scrapbooking. I also love anything that goes with baking too. lotzoflove@hotmail.com
I would love health and happiness for my family and friends.

Bakerella, I just love your site! You give me much needed baking inspiration!
What I want most for Christmas this year is for everyone in my life to find peace and happiness… for myself I want the strength to get through starting my master’s program, the financial stability to take care of myself, and the health and happiness to see my through the year and many more! :)
Oh and a Wii would be nice :)
Well, first of all, I want to win this contest! This stuff is SO cute! But most importantly, I can’t wait to spend time with my family! I love it when everyone is home :)
I want my 4 year old to eat his dinner and sit quietly while the baby sleeps. Since that isn’t likely to happen I’d like a new programmable crockpot.
Oh I forgot to mention that I want my family to be safe and happy this Christmas. And for the boys and girls fighting overseas to be loved! Don’t forget your Troops this Holiday Season!
My husband and I are adopting from Ethiopia. However, there hasn’t been a lot of movement through our agency lately which has been tough. For Christmas we would like to see TONS of referrals go through to maybe give us a little hope that we might get a referral sometime in 2010!
Thanks for your fun contests…they are great!!!
What I want for Christmas… a safe and smooth 14 hour road trip to see family on the East Coast from the Midwest with our one year old.

I would also like to be able to pipe as well as you can.
I want a live in maid… no, I REALLY just want help cleaning my house… windows, closets, and every nook! That way I will have more time to cook and bake lots of yummies in my kitchen. I also want things to move more quickly for us with our Foster/Adoption Agency in placing some DFPS kids in our home. Our two girls want a couple of brothers or a brother and a sister for Christmas. Santa is getting big wishes to fill in our house this year. I also want that Christmas Cookie Craft book! I have Cookie Craft and LOVE it! I can’t wait to get my hands on this one!
Well at the moment I’m completey covetous of this prize! But really I want a KitchenAid stand mixer.
Well, we’re getting our snow for a white Christmas right now, but in addition to that I’d love to have a health Christmas with kids that don’t argue…. what are my chances?
I think your cookies turned out very cute!
All I want for Christmas is time with my family and homemade-by-Mom treats!
Bakerella your piping is lovely! And I can say that because I am a Wilton Method Instructor who teaches cookie classes! You find fault where there is none! Simply Beautiful! I love love love the color scheme as well!

A few days off in the wine country (Napa) eating wonderful food and drinking lovely wine

Let’s see…it is my son’s first Christmas this year and I want him to have a very magical Christmas with lots of friends and family surrounding us. And I would like a vacation, too!!!
Beautiful cookies, Bakerella! For Christmas, I really do want a cookie cookbook! “Santa” already stuffed my stocking with edible icing pens, good for him! (Or good for me.) Besides that, I’d love the gift of a date night with my hubby, antique tea cups, ummm… you can see I’m blessed already and don’t need too much.
Books, books and more books.
I love the holidays. The being together as a family. I am looking forward to seeing my boys open their gifts and smiling and just enjoying being in each others company.
I want a double jogger so I can lose baby weight and holiday weight while spending time with my 2 month old and 2 year old outdoors.
A chance to rest up and get ready for what’s ahead in the new year.
For Christmas, I’d like an all-expenses paid month-long trip to France… and if that doesn’t work out, I’ll take some new flannel pajamas. : )

Jen V
jenzima@aol.com
I would like a new Canon 5D.
Well I get to have my 6yr old daughter Christmas morning for the first time in 3 years. Since her dad lives so far she is usually there for her break so I get to be her Santa this year which is more then I could ever ask for BUT….A new Coach purse wouldn’t hurt either.
I want to win! If I can’t win than a Nikon D5000
There isn’t really anything specifically i want!! Surprises are my favorite :)
I want cookie cutters in every shape imaginable! I love making cut-out cookies! Gingerbread with minty icing is my favorite!
I want to win this giveaway! That’s all I want for Christmas!!!
I want to be able to pay cash for Christmas and not use the credit card :)
I would love an iPod touch to entertain our daughter with on our upcoming trip!
I want to see non-stop smiles and happy dancing from my 4-year-old son this holiday season as he gets to see his Grandpa–who he hasn’t seen for a year.
Love the cookies, by the way! They are adorable!
My wish is for a less stressfull holiday and to possibly re-connect with friends.
I would love a cancer free Christmas for my family!
I would like to find a job by Christmas, so I can really enjoy the holidays. I also want to thank you for your posts. They are inspirational and give me warm fuzzy feelings! :)
I really really really really want my husband’s store to sell!
Best holiday memories: making sugar cookies with my mom, brother and sister… eating the dough and sprinkles until our stomachs hurt! Good times! What I want is to start sharing these traditions with my son… on his first Christmas!
I want a pair of snowshoes to give to my coworker who has been asking me (jokingly) to get them for her for the past 2 christmas’.
I’m celebrating Channukah, starting this weekend..but wishes still apply..and since I am hosting 2 family brunches that double as housewarmings, I wish for them to go smoothly! A cookie-making kit would surely help :)
My husband mentioned he might get me an ipod touch. I hadn’t even really considered it because of the cost, but now I’ve got my hopes up =)
I’d love to spend one more Christmas w/ my grandmother. This may sound odd., but there no longer w/ me. I’d love to tell them that I love them and thank them for everythingthey did for me. I had wonderful grandmothers. So this Christmas I get to spend my holiday w/ my family and our new addition – my future son-in-law.So every body just take a min. to tell all your loved ones how much you love them
I really only want to spend time with my loved ones. Cheesy, but true.
I would like to start my months of dental work I need done. Very odd, but true. I’m not gonna lie, I so dislike the dentist that I cry every time I walk in the dental office.
So cute! I just want there to be no snowstorms this year for Christmas while I have to travel… and I’d like to not get sick for once !
What I really want right now (probably because it’s almost lunchtime and my stomach is growling) is Christmas Eve ham at my grandmother’s followed by her annual spread of Christmas cookies. mmmmm
My ultimate Christmas wish would be to spend Christmas with my family that is up in Canada. It’s been 7 years since we spent the holidays together.
I would love a Kitchen Aid stand mixer, but I know Santa already got me that so I’m going to say Sock yarn. You can’t have enough sock yarn!!!!
i’m only the 4,000-something comment…wow!
christmas wish this year?
that 5 year old kate from http://www.prayforkate.com heals completely and that she and her family have many many more precious years to spend together. (that one was “serious”)
not-so-serious:
that santa brings me the answer to “what’s my life’s calling?” – all wrapped up in a beautiful big bow…that way i can just get focused and get on with it! *wink*
I want to spend this day with my family, my sweetest boyfriend and lots of friends! But I have to study too and that’s no fun at all!
I realy hope i win this!
xx
I want a tropical vacation!
I dream of spending Christmas in Hawaii!!
I tell my husband every July “hey it’s a good time to buy tickets to go to Hawaii for Christmas.” He says “ya but you would be sad when we get there and there is no snow for christmas.”
I would like snow!
I think your items are dewishes! For Christmas I want my friend Laurie to win your stocking because she likes to bake things just like you.
Merry Christmas
Bakerella
I want cookbooks for Christmas so this would make a great addition to my collection!!!!
What a fun giveaway! For Christmas this year I would love to somehow be able to buy a house.
I want a red kitchen aid mixer that PW is currently giving away on her site. I came here to get your recipe for cake balls, because the giveaway asks you to link to a favorite recipe and I wanted to put that one. And here I find another giveaway! Tis the season :)
I want my oven fixed so I can start baking cookies! Had a generator blow on our street and killed our oven. Bad timing!
A normal, sane Christmas please!
All I want for Christmas is for our home renovation project to be done in time to put up a tree in the living room. We might make it. Well, that and a happy and healthy husband and me in the new year.
Please pick me! All I want for Xmas is some new computer speakers.
I would like for my christmas to not include the pantless toddler of thanksgiving, and for time to bake. Christmas is busy season at my job and I usually don’t have the time to make all the cookies that were part of christmasses past.
I’m hoping our new home will be done soon – living out of boxes during the holidays is tough.
This Christmas I want to just “relax” and be spoiled by my boyfriend. =)
I want Beatles Rock Band for my WII – so silly, but fun! :-)
…and for serious, i want to have my three girls together, spend our first Christmas with the middle one’s serious boyfriend and hug my pug and my husband.
for christmas? i want a warm hug.
I want a puppy!
:)
For Christmas, I want to be with my family and all who are traveling to be safe! I love this time of year! :) Kids make it a lot more fun, too!
I want bliss…just hanging out with my family, thinking of nothing more than family fun at home…that is my bliss. :o)
Hmmm…. for christmas…. I need a vacuum. I want a puppy.
I would like nothing more than to see the smiles of my 3 children as they see what Santa brought them tucked under the tree.
