Welcome to the Confections of an Aggie!

Right now I've got a cookie making obsession, and an itch to try some other fun treats, so I thought I'd start a blog to document it.  I'm also the proudest member of the Fightin' Texas Aggie Class of 2006, hence the title of the blog :)  I'm not sure where it will take me, or how long it will last, but I know that it will taste really good along the way - ha! :)

It all started when my sweet friend, Tracy, made some adorable cookies for a baby shower.  Once I tasted them, I KNEW I had to know how to make them.  She was so gracious that she hosted a cookie making party for those of us at the shower that wanted to learn how.  Once this happened, it turned from being something I wanted to try to an obsession.  I went home, and immediately (well immediately after my son went down for his nap) started icing the cookies I had baked prior to the "party."  I got a little frustrated with myself because they didn't turn out as nice as I would have liked, but after realizing it was my first time to attempt it, I was pretty proud of myself.  They also tasted DELICIOUS!

Would you like to see them?  No?  Well, this is my blog, so you get to see them anyway :) 

Then, I think maybe a week later, I made some for my friend, Erica's, son, Nate's, 3rd birthday party.  He is a very special little boy to me, and I was excited to make him some cookies.  He was having a Cars birthday party so I made some to go with the theme.  They turned out better than my first batch, but still not as perfect as I'd like.  I'm going to make you look at more pictures (although, I guess I technically can't make you, you could always not read the rest of the post - ha!).

Then, as if that isn't enough to prove to you that I'm a little obsessed - just for the heck of it, I decided to make some super cute cookies for St. Patrick's Day.

So far, those are the only creations I've made, but I have lots of plans for the future.  I really love this!  I have spent HOURS searching for different ideas, and reading other blogs/websites for other tips/techniques to help improve my abilities.

So if you like what you see, and want to know more about possibly having me make some for you, send me an email - confectionsofanaggie at gmail dot com.  Obviously, the "at" and "dot" are supposed to be the symbols for those, with no spaces, but I don't want to end up with a bunch of spam, so I did not want to write the actual email.  Also, feel free to leave a comment with your contact info if you would rather not email me :)


Well, I'm off to dream about more sweet ideas! (haha - get it?!  I know, I know - cheesy! :-p)
