Spring Cookies

I'm a self-taught baker and have done designer cookies for several years.  I started out baking cookies to treat the gang at work on holidays.  I got better and better at it and people were telling me, "These are wonderful, you need to go into business."  So, I took them up on it and started Sharon's Edible Art.  Now it's a paying hobby.  I try to design "outside the box" by trying different ideas to bring more 3-D images into the cookies.  I live in Carlsbad, NM.

The butterflies are "in flight" with their wings raised.  You achieve this by cutting the shapes out, then slice them down the middle of the body and bake the two halves separate.  After the wings are iced and dry, you prop the wings together at an angle and glue them together with icing.  The dragonflies shimmer with the luster dust I painted on with vodka.
