Happy Birthday (eve) to me!

Hi everyone!  This is an exciting post for me because it combines 2 very exciting things for me!  A Christmas gift and my birthday!  

Remember when I said that I got a Kopy Kake for Christmas?  Well, I am showing you the first cookies that I made with it.  Tomorrow (January 10) will be my 26th birthday!  So I thought it would be fun to make different "26" cookies.  

Below is the Kopy Kake projector.  You can take a design and project it down onto your cookie, so you can pipe it out nicely.  I am especially excited about my Kopy Kake for writing words and numbers.  I think that I have pretty decent handwriting and piping skills.  At my first pastry job that I ever had, I worked at a resort where I would make Welcome and Happy Anniversary/Birthday plates of chocolate covered strawberries and truffles everyday.   And I would write with chocolate on every plate.  So I got some good practice!  

Even though my handwriting is good, I would always get the spacing wrong or misjudge how much room I actually had to write something.  The Kopy Kake fixes that for me!   

Below is the 26 shining down on the cookie.  

Ta da!  I definitely need more practice using the Kopy Kake, but I am pleased with how my first cookies came out!  

Hope you enjoy my Happy 26th Birthday cookies!
