What a delightful and fun book, especially for anyone who loves the "crafty" side of cooking. With this as your guide, you'll be able to turn out professional looking decorated cookies that will enchant children and adults alike. These cookies will make welcome homemade gifts or gift basket additions. Some of the projects are so simple you might even use them for class or scout projects with the kids (or for family bonding time in your own home).

Every major holiday and season is well represented in the imaginative designs, as well as lots of whimsical "all occasion" cookies (like the two sample projects below). While the results are spectacular, they are not difficult to achieve. The authors give detailed recipes and instructions and include 50 step-by-step photographs of the design process, to insure that you, the reader, can replicate the process at home. Also included are all the patterns you'll need, along with the authors' invaluable decorating tips and instructions for the basics of cookie decorating, including necessary ingredients and tools.

Cookie designs include: Birthdays, Wedding, Baby Shower, Valentines, Easter, 4th of July, Halloween, Thanksgiving, Christmas, Hanukkah, Kids, Flowers and Fruit, Bees and Bugs, Sports, and Fashion.
