TUNDE'S QUILTS

These designs from Tunde Dugantsi were shared online in 2021 (click here to join her club), and I did try them once in the past but thought they needed improvement. I share today the outcome of my new attempt. Now I am much happier with the way they turned out! So, in cookies – as in life – if at first you don’t succeed, try again! The whole set involves nine square cookies, and Tunde provides a…

A BASKET OF FLOWERS FOR MOTHER'S DAY

Some cookie projects leave me paralyzed with fear and self-doubt. They seem too complex, and way out of my skill level. But I get that nagging temptation to give them a try, in part because deep inside I know that if we don’t try to tackle difficult things, we don’t improve. We stay where we are. Not that there’s anything wrong with that… Tunde shared this new tutorial, and after a lot of inner…

I'VE GOT THE BLUES

Tunde’s Glamorous Blue Cookies, that is… Originally she made them in green, I decided to change a bit and make a different color, but keeping the designs unchanged. Tunde’s creations are always full of details and often rely on fine lines to shine, so there is no way to sugar-coat the pill, they can be challenging. Some of my lines don’t fall smoothly, the curved shapes end up with some slightly…

TUNDE'S WHITE ELEGANCE

This was my first cookie adventure of 2024… A tutorial by Tunde Dugantsi, using one single color, white. Many different techniques for piping, I would consider this project medium to advanced. Fine line piping is definitely a big part of it. And by now you probably know how much I love the challenge of it… Only one design of Tunde’s seven cookie class is missing from my collection. I made a…
