1. Very cool!

It's almost too beautiful to eat!

12. They really are pretty. I have a fascination with day of the dead/sugar skulls lately,

i've been looking at some folk art paintings which are gorgeous...the design would translate well to food.

11. Me too!

I may try and make a batch next time my sisters come to visit. They can help decorate!

10. They are gorgeous. Those mahjong cookies I found the other day were

too pretty to eat too, but i'd manage.

4. Very cool!

Time consuming, too, I'll bet.

9. Probably. But maybe not too bad if you did them assembly line style....

work each layer of the cookie from the bottom up...?

8. LOL I know the feeling.

I'm really slow these days, and I'd have to keep the cats out of my way, but it would be fun to make these cookies.

6. Beautiful!

nice detail work!

7. They really are. I saw some mahjong tile cookies the other day that were

also little mini works of art. That side of cooking really appeals to me now. I'll dig in and work for something detailed like this cookies occasionally...but otherwise I want simplicity when I cook.
