My first post ever!

OK so here goes! My first ever post for my new blog.I dont even know what to say (which is unusual for someone who can talk under wet cement). I guess the aim of this blog is to share my new passion for decorated cookies. I don't even know much about blogs and how they work but i look forward to learning along the way from the blog veterens out there!

I have always loved cooking and I have my mum to thank for that. I would always help out in the kitchen where I could and I guess I picked it up along the way without even knowing it. So how did I get the idea to start making decorated cookies you ask? Like most people, I have a full time job, and I never usually buy from the book club at work, until i saw all these pretty cookies in this book and i HAD to learn how to do that.

Well my first attempt...lets just say they tasted better than they looked, I had NO idea how to work with royal icing on cookies, so the research started and its all history. I have only been doing this for about six months, I cant wait to see my skills develop and I look forward to this journey. If only i could quit my day job and do this full time.....one day!!

Stay tuned for my upcoming cookie ventures, I look forward to what the future has to hold!

PS - Pictures coming as soon as i can figure this all out!
