Nice Article About Toronto
Who knew we were so much fun? Glad the Rebel House got a shout out, but now I am craving those spinach cheese pennies they make. Mmmmm!

Cookies
Made some cookies for a wedding shower we had for a friend at work. I was inspired by Mango and I thank her for the pictures she posted on her blog. Got the same cookie cutter at St. Lawrence Market- wedding cake with a heart on top.
Used thick royal icing to outline the cake shape.
Flooded the cookies with thinner icing- used a squeeze bottle, which made it really easy.
Here's where the student could not equal the teacher- the icing I made for the decorative piping was too thin, but I did what I could. At this point, I'm not even sure they look like wedding cakes. The BF said they looked like the Capitol Building in Washington but with a heart on top. I called him an idiot, and got back to piping :)
The final cookies. Actually, I think this cookie cutter could be used to make some pretty nice Stanley Cup cookies!
