Oh my!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I think I gained about 20 pounds just looking!! You are the BEST cook...wish I were closer, but my waistline is probably thankful that I am not!!
Thank you for posting!

Hi Kathleen,

Your cookies look spectacular!! I was just browsing around, looking for some good ideas for Thanksgiving decor and lo and behold, here you are with those AWESOME desserts. Where did you find the acorn and large leaf cutters? Also, please share your recipe for that amazing apple dessert, I am currently wiping drool off my chin:-)
Happy Friday!!
DONNA

Hi Donna! Fancy meeting you here! Hope you are doing well!
WMSonoma has the leaf cutters, but I think Michael's might also! Use your 40% off coupon too!
I am posting the apple dessert on the CF, since it is a bit OT for here. The ladies here indulge me...it was slow here, and it was fallish!

OMG....soooo yummy looking! Would you like to open up a bakery next door to me? I would be your best customer!! :)
You are such a great cook!!

Thanks, Mary, you are very kind! I didn't do much fall decorating, no vignettes etc, so I baked some fall goodies!

Kathleen, I think Fall food trumps Fall decorating any day! All of that looks so pretty and so yummy! Do you eat all these wonderful goodies that you make? I'm with Jaybird, I think I gained a few pounds just looking at them! ;o) Luvs

Kathleen, one of these days I'm going to learn NOT to open your posts when I'm hungry or it's late at nite & I'm thinking of cookies!!!!

You can come decorate my house anytime with food! LOL

LOL, no we don't eat it all...it was for a party at a friend's house.

The cookie cutters are available at Joann Fabrics too...they are on sale for 40% off :^)

The last of the black eyed susans, bday cake for friend...Susan..

Yum!!!!

kathleen, Wow, everything looks delicious as usual!

Judith, I got the BIG cupcake today! Can't wait to try it!

Kathleen, you will love it, I have seen some done on another website and they look so yummy and cute!

Kathleen, Could you package some of your energy and mail it to me? Your goodies look delicious. What a lucky friend you have and such a labor of love. I just know your friend will be over the moon when she sees the cake. I am heading to CF right now for the apple pie recipe. I love to cook and that forum lead me to this one. Baking might must keep me busy enough so tht I am not looking for and purchasing more dishes. LOL

DH is going to scream if anymore dishes enter our home. He's already worried the cabinet in my office is going to come off of the wall from the weight:,).

Keep posting, you are an inspiration for those of us who like to cook/bake as well as decorate our tables!

SOOO yummy. My banana for breakfast suddenly isn't cutting it.

Labmomma, thanks, and I hear the same thing about the shelves from the weight of the dishes! I told him to find better clips to hold them!
The apple recipe is in the WFD thread, not the one that has just started, the one before!
Sorry, Jenn! Bananas are your friends! lol

Ok...now I am drooling DELUXE!!!!

Kathleen - how delicious your baked goods look! That cake looks luscious! I have made cut out acorn and leaf cookies before - I used to have this really good recipe - it was a butter cookie with fresh orange zest and orange liqueur with a chocolate glaze - I've lost the recipe darn it - those cookies had a kick!

Anyway, it is refreshing to see someone who still bakes beautiful homemade goodies - very, very nice!

Hi Catie, welcome. You found us. Hope you will join in!
Cattknap, thank you, I love to bake and cook. I just got a new mold from Wilton, it is a really big cupcake.
Catie, how perfect for you. When I make it, I will post a pic.
