Now that summer is half over, I decided to post my fresh picked goods... Wanna see?
These goodies are not bound to be cooked though. These are for a picnic! Where did I get the fruits?
Pluck! I get them right off the tree! Well, maybe in my mind :)
You see, the colours of summer are so vibrant! I love to think of how the green, blue, yellow, pink and all the other colours of summer come out. Even storms have colours. We had a lovely rainbow right after our storm last night. It was perfect! With the ground still moist, I picked some lovely apples.
I also had a little strawberry bush in my home which was blooming! The ripe strawberries are ready to be picked:
A whole bowl full! He Hee!
For these cookies: Sugar cookie dough with vanilla royal icing. I decorated them using kelly green (Wilton BOO) colour paste and Christmas (BOO) red paste (also from Wilton). I would love to try the Americolour gels. I hear they are much better. I hate having to use a butter knife to scoop out the gel paste from the Wilton containers. It makes a huge mess. Americolour gels have a squeeze top! What a great idea!
Your apples and strawberries turned out beautiful. I've got back to school cookies on my mind and these apples are perfect for first day teacher treats!!
ReplyDeleteI love them! My perfect full serving of fruit.
