The Tale of a New Mixer

9:05 PM

I have always been a Kitchen-aid girl. My big Christmas gift the year I left for college was my bright and shiny new white Kitchen-aid. It has traveled with me through dorm room, apartments, and four homes. I still own that little mixer and it keeps on going. I've added two more Kitchen-aids to my army and I love them. At Cookie Con...

Tonight a cookie friend texted me and asked, "Do you ever struggle with the feeling of inadequacy with your cookies?" I thought on that question for a quick second and immediately answered, "NO!"

Do you ever start a cookie set with no plan in mind? You bake shapes and mix icing but have no idea what you will do? I am a "type A" organized planner. I rarely don't have a plan. But, every once in a while, I like to change things up. I like to sit at my desk and see where the icing...

About me

What happens when you take one slightly obsessive, artistic, and highly practical stay-at-home mom and introduce her to the world of cookie dough, icing and endless design possibilities? A perfect storm named, Andy Kay's Cookies. I am known for my mad coffee drinking skills, keeping two kiddos alive while creating custom sugar cookies. You can find me thinking outside the cookie cutter, usually with a paintbrush or piping bag in hand. And yes, it is a 101s tip!

I've decided to start blogging! There are plenty of cookie blogs out there that have amazing tutorials for all of us. This isn't one of those blogs! If you are a baker, cookier, or hope to become one, this is for you.
