All You Need is...

...LOVE (cookies).

When I saw this cookie cutter in the Fancy Flours catalog, I knew immediately that I must have it.

You're probably familiar with this image. It was originally created by aritst Robert Indiana for a Christmas Card and was recreated into sculptures. I've always loved it...and you just might live near one. (Here's a list.)

Because we're friends. Because I trust you have embarrassing pictures in your photo albums. Because this outfit must never be recreated. I'm going to show you a picture of when my sister & I had our picture taken with one of the statues.

I know. The year was 1988-ish. This orange and white fiasco was my FAVORITE OUTFIT. (I'm not even kidding.) What you can't see? I completed the look with orange lipstick and nail polish. Oh, and the HAIR!!! Totally high-as-the-sky mall claw in front, crazy highlighted curls in a triangle shape the rest of the way around. Lovely.

{I wonder why I didn't date much?}

I was so deep in thought, wondering if I should share that picture, I forgot to take pictures for a cookie tutorial.

Luckily, it's a simple outline and flood with royal icing. I used AmeriColor Super Red, Deep Pink, Soft Pink & Electric Pink. And, here's a link to the cookie cutter again.
