bright and clear and perfect.
it was chilly still, but the blue of them
had me pondering the lazy days of summer.
i was thinking of half circles of red,
enveloped in green.
of juice on your cheeks and seeds at your feet.

most adorable thing i have seen in a long while–cloudy days wont be so un-cheery for awhile
oh goodness. i'm so glad i ordered a cloud. can't wait to play. sort of thinking i may want to make a giant storm of cloud cookies for my wedding dessert table. i hope that's not too insane. :) very excited about the possibility of raindrops. as always, just completely love your post.
Lovely shots and great results. I will definitely give them a try. Love making and decorating cookies.
I just died a little when I saw these. You combined two of my favorite things — clouds and anything you bake. You are my favorite baker in the entire world. Pinky promise.

p.s. I am going to post some of these pictures on my personal blog (that no one reads) and link to your blog. Hope you don't mind.
perfection – as always. and esp. love the photos … fits the mood of the sweet little clouds perfectly!
These are so…so…so… lovely! They are not only cookies to our mouth but also tasty cookies to our eyes:-)
Hope the dark thick cloud in the sky can get away after you eat the cookie clouds all!
hi everyone, thank you!
honestly, you had me before, the fried chicken and collards, but i had to clap my hands, at that point.
oh, you are too good to me.
hugs
i sent you an email… it just said things like, how much i appreciate you. : ) wink!
i could do these clouds, right? : )
I love this post so much! photos are wonderful :) thank you and have a wonderful weekend…

Your cookie cutter arrived in Italy! My cookies are not as beautiful as yours, but all my friends loved them anyway. Here are some pics I took:
