Lincoln Nebraska Bakery |S’more Cake |Valentine Cookies with Allie

As a Lincoln Nebraska Bakery, in addition to making cakes, I also enjoy making cookies. This year I was in Utah and had the pleasure of making valentine cookies with Allie, my grand daughter. She has become very good at mixing the dry ingredients while I mix up the wet ingredients in separate bowls. We make good working partners! She looked so cute in her chef’s hat and new apron from Spoons n’ Spice.

We chose a sugar cookie recipe that we received from my daughter, Alexa. It is a very good recipe that includes almond extract and takes very little time to make. The recipe calls for butter, sugar, flour and baking powder. We rolled out the dough and cut out the cookies in the shape of hearts. With Allie’s help, we baked them in a 350 degree oven for about 10 minutes. We frosted the cookies with a powdered sugar and milk mixture. Each cookie was decorated with pink frosting, assorted sprinkles, and white pearl sugar beads. They looked very cute.

We thought it would be fun to have a valentine’s day portrait session with Allie in her little red and pink tutu, eating her cookies. She is very proud of herself and will enjoy looking at her pictures. They will remind her of the fun time we had together. Pictures have always been very important to me, something that I learned from my mom.

I have enjoyed my time in Utah with my family. I will treasure all of my experiences here, the great recipes and cake decorating that I have done with Niki and Allie. We enjoyed many fun meals and picnics at the park. The portfolio of my cakes for my website look great and I appreciate the memories we have created.
