A couple of weeks ago, I received an inquiry about making 400-500 cookies for a children's production of the Wizard of Oz. Unfortunately I wasn't able to take the order as I'm only a one woman operation and they needed the cookies in less than a wee. Plus they needed to be shipped a few states away. I was crazy enough to consider doing it though. If only there were more than 24 hours in a day.

Funny enough a few days later, I got another inquiry to make Wizard of Oz cookies for a baby shower in CA. This time the amount of cookies was much more manageable. The only worry was shipping fragile shaped cookies to CA. I think I read every blog post and tutorial about shipping cookies that exists. Thankfully, they arrived safely and the client was pleased. Phew!

This is my second attempt at the Wizard of Oz themed cookies. I added a lot more sparkles to the ruby slippers. Overall, I'm pretty happy with the finished product.

There's no place like home...

I've loved The Wizard of Oz movie for as long as I can remember. I made these cookies for a housewarming party. I figured the theme "No Place Like Home" was a close enough fit to justify making red ruby slippers.

If only I had red shoes that sparkly

Sorry, Cowardly Lion!

I didn't have enough time to make a medal of courage for you.
