Oat cookies I baked earlier 



I don't make many sweet bakes, but I had okara to experiment with.  This is the soy bean grounds left after making soy milk and you can use it fresh, dehydrate it or dry it in the oven.  I did the oven as it was on for other stuff and subbed half the oats with okara.

Yum - and I'm claiming them as health food as they have soy meal in them.  Perhaps this is a stretch if I scoff the lot

They look scrummy & very moreish

[mumofstig]

Oh no! I shouldn't have looked, now I fancy something sweet to eat 

[New shoot]

Help yourself girls    They are very moreish and I need saving from myself

Very pretty indeed    The rose ones are just lovely 

The big rose ones are the easiest cos it's just piping buttercream 
All the others are fondant tops of differing colours, each with a different shape embossed in them, with different moulded flowers, and that all takes ages to do. Love doing it though!

I think I should have been baking & icing cakes for a living, rather than spending all my working life in an office

Shows what I know    I'd have been over the moon with all of them.  They look very professional 

[snowdrops]

I saw a lovely way to present the rose ones the other day on Facebook.  They'd filled a ceramic pot with oasis, then stuck in cocktail sticks then impaled the cakes on them, pre iced, then I filled with green tissue paper, I think I'd stick the cocktail sticks in the cakes first, there seemed to be 2 sticks to each cake
