MICKEY MOUSE Cupcakes

Well Christmas is over and it's almost time for a New Year.  Out with the old, in with the new.

Did y'all have a good Christmas? I know we all did here at my house. The kids loved everything they got. They had a box filled with different Mickey Mouse treats I made for them, a hundred Disney bucks each...

 and a poem to let them know......

WE'RE GOING TO DISNEY!!!!!!!!!

They were totally surprised and I've never seen them more excited.

The three older kids have been to Disney World twice already, but the two younger ones have never been.

We won't be going until February.....around Mardi Gras. Yes, I can't believe I'm going to give up Mardi Gras for Disney world....it's really unheard of.  I mean seriously in the heart of a New Orleans girl that comes right up there with Christmas. Mardi Gras is the end all be all of holidays......yes a holiday.

It's so much fun and unless you've been, you can't really understand where I'm coming from.

Well they will be plenty of parades before Mardi Gras day so I'll get my parade fix in there.

How was y'alls Christmas? Get anything special you were dying for?

Merry Christmas!!!!!

Merry Christmas to each and every one of you.

I hope your day has been filled with Joy and much happiness.

I know I haven't blogged in a while, but we traveled home to New Orleans for all of two days to visit the family quickly before coming home to wait for Santa. It was a fast, in a blink of an eye kinda trip.

So I didn't get to blog....but I did miss you and I did make you some amazing cookies.

Do you all have Julia Usher's new book,

Ultimate Cookies

? If not you must.....seriously she shows you some amazing tips. I've got three cookies to show you today. The first one I made from Julia Usher's book. GO order it now....it really is good!

Here's the first cookie I made....

SNOW GLOBES!!! I just love snow globes. 3D too....

Julia Usher

shows you how to make these in her

book too

!.....just one of the many techniques she teaches.

Next I made Santa cookies.....

I mean what Christmas would be complete without Santa cookies right? 

Then there were the green and red ornament cookies I made. Topped them off with some gold disco dust and ta daaaa they were done. 

  And last but not least were the Santa hats. They were fun to make and with the edible glitter they looked like the fur was on them for real. Cute huh?

Well I sure hope everyone is enjoying Christmas with the people they love most. I know I am. Today it's all about them.....tomorrow....back to cookies.
