After baking, icing, decorating and wrapping 20 dozen of the pretty pastries pictured below for a posh little local boutique, I switched gears and decided to try something different to hand out as my personal Valentines this year.
I played around with a glace icing technique that turned out to be so much fun! I experimented with all sorts of designs, and found that Valentines Day is the perfect holiday for these type of cookie! Swirls and hearts are easy and beautiful and I even see EKG blips in the
Mille Feuille pattern!
I boxed them up for friends and found these adorable Vintage Valentines to attach!
I love Valentines Day, and even though for me this year it was stretched out to about two weeks long, I still couldn't stop myself from sticking to tradition and finishing up with my own Valentines to hand out. I feel like I can breathe freely now and I'm pretty sure I won't be tempted to make sugar cookie for at least another two weeks!
Giorno felice dei biglietti di S. Valentino!
(It sounds prettiest in Italian!)

I heart your Valentine's tradition. A lot.
A whole lot.
A holy-freaking-huge-amount lot.
And I heart you.
Tammy--they are both beautiful! The boutique is probably bummed they didn't get them ALL! :)
Such beautiful sweets for you sweeties! I'm telling you Tammy your beautiful cookies remind me of stippling on a quilt.
Where did you find the vintage valentines? I love them. happy Valentines day friend.
I heart you too. Tammy, you are such a wonderful person. The world is a better place with you in it. My life is better with you in it.
Your blog makes me so hungry. Those are beautiful. Happy Valentines
Today ended up being a very traumatic and sad day for me. I broke a piece of equipment that cost close to $700 after only using it twice.
Needless to say, when I came home from my shoot and found your cookies, I:
1. Cried like a baby girl.
2. Took pictures immediately.
3. Devoured a bite out of each cookie...just making sure they weren't different flavors.
I love you. erin.
I love how great your zucherro cookies turned out!!! Va Va Bene.
Tammy!
You cookies were FANTABULOUS!!!!!!!! Was that a hint of amaretto I savored? Amaretto in a cookie is even better than chocolate in my world.
I'm excessively grateful to share a part of my world with your world. Hope your valentines day was as good as mine after I got your cookies!
