I’m a little early with this post since we’re not officially April yet but I’m gearing up for the rainy season. At least I’m hoping we have a rainy season after the drought we’ve had. It’s actually raining as I write this post so maybe this is a sign.
Below is where my inspiration for this collection came from. When I saw these boots on a recent shopping trip I knew they needed to be cookies but I didn’t want to just make boots. I wanted an umbrella and raincoat too. These cookies are simple to make and would make great additions to your spring cookie collections. I’m going to quickly show you how I made them.

Love this post! Hi from Sweet Baking Boutique!
Thanks!
Those boots and the umbrella are adorable!! I love the way you did the flowers:)
I have a hard time with light at my house because the mountains block the sun so I made my own sunshine! http://thebearfootbaker.com/2012/01/you-are-my-sunshine/
Thanks Lisa!
I have a little sunshine but I made it before I knew about your little sunshine. The top is open & I didn’t trim the sides. It’s not pretty. When I first saw your little sunshine post I thought that didn’t work for me. Well I went back & looked at it again & I’ve decided that I’m going to give sunshine a try again except this time I’m making one like yours. Also, I’m surprised you use regular light bulbs and not photo bulbs. I have two photo lights on little tripods & they don’t seem to give the proper lighting. I’m definitely going to look into those clamp lights. Thanks so much!
AMAZING! I wish I could flood so nicely and smooth like you! Can never do it :(( xoxo im following
Thanks Michelly! You’ll get it. Just keep practicing. Thanks for following 🙂
These are gorgeous!!! I love them!!!
Thanks Callye! Phew what a day! Thanks to you and a couple others that shared my picture my FB page was busy today. I don’t know how you do it with over 26,000 fans. I feel bad if I don’t like comments or like people’s pages that have liked mine. It’s hard to keep up with it all. I’m finally relaxing now.
What was the cookie recipe that you used – i am still looking for the perfect one!
I’ve been using SweetSugarBelle’s recipe since the time she first posted it. In fact I raced home from work and tried them the very day she shared the recipe. I couldn’t stop eating the undecorated cookies. Try them out & see if you like them.
She re-posted the recipe here with some helpful tips

In my book they are too. Without your stalking I wouldn’t have my bestie 🙂 I’ve met my stalking quota though. I only had room for one. Lol

Hi! Your cookies are gorgeous . Just wanted to share some information- you may already know this by now but using a food dehumidifier helps so much with preventing icing craters. I have had great luck with mine. Your cookies are very inspiring!
Did you hand cut these or do you have these cutters? Your cookies are so beautiful! I’m definitely going to try this! Thanks Amanda
