I've Written A Book....




Hello, dear friends:
I've written a book, or maybe I should say, I baked a book.  Yes, for my little darling, Alek, who'll be starting school soon.  I thought it would a good idea , so he would practice his numbers.
I was so anxious wondering how long it would take him to realize it was made out of cookies.
Let me tell you, it took him a fraction of a second!!  He looked at me like saying, "you think I'm dumb, Momma?"

To make this little project, bake your favorite sugar cookie recipe.  Cookie size is 2 1/2 x 4 1/2.  I did not have a cookie cutter that size, so I used the lid of a small tupperware container.   Ribbon holes should be made before baking.  I made mine with a Wilton #12 tip.  Letters and numbers were made in fondant.  The numbers inside were 1 1/2  inches and the ribbon was 10 inches long.  Do not tie the ribbon too tight, this way is easier to turn the pages.  To make it manageable, I made it into three books, or else it would have been too heavy.
I had fun making this book for Alek.  I know the cookies and the letters are not perfect, but my love for him is.  Nothing is more gratifying than his beautiful smile.  Don't you agree?
