T-rex & triceratops’ space adventures in gingerbread

by Sab on December 25, 2011

I found some delightful T-rex and Triceratops cookie cutters at Lady Kitchener in Claremont last week. They were so cute that I had to make gingerbread immediately with them. I was having a pretty average day until the invasion of these wonderful dinosaur cookie cutters, after which my day improved drastically.

For the gingerbread, I used the CSR Gingerbread mummies recipe which turned out delicious, I would definitely use this recipe again.

I wish I had a stegasaurus cookie cutter, stegasaurus is my favourite dinosaur with the plates along his spine and spiked tail. Still, I love all dinosaurs!

The triceratops cookies here remind me of beached whales, awaiting their time in the oven. Whale cookie cutters are what I need next.

Dinos all done!

Baking Day II

by Sab on November 15, 2011

Some shots from our baking day last week, unfortunately I had to leave just before the rainbow-layered cake was constructed so I’ve just uploaded the photos I took while I was there. Disappointed that I didn’t get to practice my icing but there will be other opportunities :) Since exams finished I have been taking so many photos that I have quite a backlog to get through, so expect more updates to come. For now, enjoy the baking photos:

For lunch, we had turkish bread, celery / carrot sticks and dip. Nothing too sugary, that side was sorted with all the taste testing and bowl-licking that was going on.
