I was so excited to do something fun for Lilly to hand out to her pre-school friends for their Valentine party. Lilly attends a fabulous pre-school just up the road from our house called Rocking H. Lilly's school has a very specific snack list to ensure that snacks are healthy and do not contain a high amount of sugar. As a parent I absolutely appreciate this emphasis on keeping snacks healthy, however, when given an opportunity to send in a fun treat for a special day like Valentine's Day.... I am ALL OVER IT!
Look at this smiling face! This face is why I love an opportunity to make something special! I absolutely knew that I wanted to make heart shaped sugar cookies with Royal Icing! Before the holidays I saw a royal icing tutorial on one of my favorite food blogs Annie's Eats and I instantly knew that I wanted to learn and perfect decorating sugar cookies. After decorating with Royal Icing just a couple of times I felt eager to decorate again. I decided that a solid color, simple design with Lilly's school logo would be perfect!
After taking advantage of an online coupon from Zulily I was able to order personalized Valentine cards from Tiny Prints for both of the girls for only $20. I thought this was a great deal considering how super cute both of the cards turned out (you will see Kyla's in my next posting) and how many I had to order for Kyla's class and teachers. I think they turned out great!
