I’m working on a ton of new things now, and I’m pretty sure you all will like them. I’ve been designing and making cookie cutters that are in my Etsy Shop. I’m working on a new cookie-cutter store that I’ll be sharing soon. My blog site is being redone and updated by Purr Designs, and I love their work. They’ll be finished next week, and I can’t wait to share the new changes with you.

I plan to add new tutorials and hope you will continue to follow me, but before I dive in, I want to say thank you and revisit what you all have done for me. You helped me get rid of “Bouncer the Brain Tumor!” My brain is still healing, and I have a few other newish issues, such as seizures, but I’m getting stronger and healing more and more every single day thanks to you and your prayers. I love every one of you, and I’m thankful to have friends like you!

Now let’s go back to Bouncer, the Brain Tumor Cookies Tutorial:

Remember, I’ll be opening the new blog look next week, and I hope you join me. I have a lot of new cookies and step-by-step tutorials that I’m working on, and I’m pretty sure you’ll like them. Until then, enjoy a little visit to my celebration post from seven years ago: It’s “MY BRAIN, and You Can’t Have it, BOUNCER!” flashback.

Love you all!

Cover it with a large royal icing ribbon rose, of course! I keep ribbon roses on hand for occasions like this. It’s a great way to use leftover icing and turn a mistake into a cute cookie. If you’d like to learn how to make royal icing ribbon roses, follow this link: Ribbon Roses Video Tutorial. Again, it’s a great way to use your leftover royal icing. Store them in an airtight container away from the sun so they’ll be ready when you need them.

As you can see, the roses in the image above are not the same. We will make all of them eventually, but today, we will focus on two. They are both made with the same piping tips and the same consistency of royal icing.

Where have I been? That’s a good question. I’ve been here working on various cookie-related projects, and I’ve been thinking of you all every step of the way. I’ve been making cookie cutters, helping to build an addition to my house that will be used for teaching cookie classes and other purposes. I’m learning to make and produce food-safe cookie stencils, working on my July 2025 – June 2026 Planner, and completing many behind-the-scenes tasks. You may not see me, but I promise you I’ve been working hard behind the scenes for you.

Let’s talk about the July 2025 – June 2026 Academic Planner. I need help keeping things organized, and sometimes I rely on notes to help me remember all the details. This Academic Planner/Calendar helps me stay on track. We all know each month needs a theme, so I’ve worked hard to make that happen for us. It’s hard to say which is my favorite, and I don’t have to because I have all twelve of them. I listed some of them below so you can get a sneak peek.

You have a simple Santa hat or witch hat cookie cutter that will allow you to make versions of the cookies. You could even turn it into a birthday hat or an elf hat cookie. The possibilities are endless. Well, maybe not, but you get the idea.

I was going to do individual posts on all these cute little reindeer, but I decided to make Ralph, Rex, and Rudolph all at the same time so we could get along with more Christmas cookies. Let’s think about this for a second. It’s “the most wonderful time of the year” for a reason and I think cute Christmas cookies play a huge part in spreading Christmas cheer. Don’t you?

Before I start singing Christmas carols and handing out cups of hot cocoa, let’s make Rowdy Rex, Radiant Ralph, and Reliable Rudolph.
