Fun!

Just saw my mints on Bake It Pretty!  Over the Christmas holidays I made these:

I took the pic with my cell phone so it didn't pick up the colors so great, it was way more blue.  Anyway, the snowflakes are a butter mint recipe that I found off  Bake It Pretty.  She talked about her grandmother making those mints for weddings and I was like, "OMG!  So did mine!"  My grandmother would make the leaves and roses.  I remember her making them and lining a Tupperware container with wax paper and layering them in.  We (girl cousins) only got one if there was no room left.  So it won't surprise you to learn that when I made them I kinda gorged and made myself sick.  Later I made dough again and divided it up, colored one green and one red and then added coconut flavoring to one and raspberry to the other.  DELISH!!  Then I got the bright idea to just make vanilla "mints"  (thanks mom)! I bought a flower mold and made several bright colors.  To see those check out the Bake It Pretty Blog.  I am #6.  :-)  And by the way, if you are not reading the Bake it Pretty blog regularly, you are totally missing out!
