How to make Leprechaun cookies – SugarBelle

How to decorate your own St. Patrick’s Day cookies

I love cookies, but I rarely make them and when I do, you better believe that there will be chocolate involved, so no fancy cookie decorating skills here. SugarBelle has more than enough to compensate for me, though. I’ve only been subscribed to her for a few months really, but it always amazes me to see what she can do with regular old cookie cutters.

St. Patrick’s Day is just begging for more of these to be made. Adorable.

Facts About Food Friday – Heart cake without a special pan

Yay, Of Home and Muse had a picture example. Easy enough, right?

Who needs a heart-shaped cake pan if you have a square one and a circle one? Bake a cake in each, cut the circle one in half, turn the square so it’s facing like a diamond, and then add each circle half to the top sides. Yay, a heart!

I don’t bake cakes often, but I wish I would’ve thought of this one a long time ago. I’ve been lugging around a large awkward shaped heart cake pan for many years now, just because I thought maybe I’d need it at some point. It’s had a few uses over the years, like the time my mom made a Mickey Mouse cake using a heart as the base. But you have no idea how much of a pain in the butt it is to stack in a cabinet. It would never lay flat. Boo. :(
