My First Cookie Pops...And "Bouquet"...

This was my first attempt at cookie pops...

And a bouquet.

First and foremost, I was happy I had a good experience with the Royal Icing on this particular occasion.

Because, afterall...it was for my momma for Mother's Day!

I start out trying to insert the sticks into the dough...

Without much success.

And then...

I saw a tutorial online on how to just attach the sticks to the wrappers!

I'll have to find the link to that tutorial.

Because it has really helped me.

I think this was the first time...in my baking/decorating journey...

That I was actually PLEASED with the final outcome of my project.

You see...

I am a perfectionist by nature.

And not only a perfectionist...

I struggle with seeing any good in my work.

I always think everyone's is better and mine will never be as good as the professionals.

So you see...

For me to be happy with this project...

Was a HUGE step in my journey!
