Plumeria for Mission Possible

Project Hope

This week I had the privilege to make cookies for the graduation ceremony of Project Hope's Green Collar Job Corp.  The youth involved in the Green Collar Job Corp have spent their summer cultivating small plots of land sprinkled throughout the West Central Neighborhood.  Each of these children devoted their summer to growing vegetables in exchange for a scholarship to help support them throughout the next school year.

I was so impressed with these kids and the beautiful gardens they created.  The sunflowers sprinkled throughout their garden inspired me to make these cookies.

Gerber Daisies!

I decided to depart from my usual pattern and make these fun gerber daisies. Of course, I had to throw a few swirls in there on the hearts. It funny how I always think that my cookies are going to look terrible when I'm half way through making them and then they always (well, usually) turn out so cute!  Thanks to Jackson Romie for the beautiful photo!
