The Wavin' Wheat Sure Smells Sweet

Can you hear the tune to the theme song "Oklahoma" in your head yet? I have mentioned before that I never thought that I would miss the Midwest EVER but since stumbling upon The Pioneer Woman, I finding myself searching all kinds of things in the Midwest. Go figure! (I know my mom is shaking her head right now in complete udder disbelief in what she is reading. She might even re-read it a second time for clarification.)

Well, this week has been no exception. I had a bakery order come in this week for some desserts to feed about 80 guests. So to get into the spirit of spring and to make me feel a little happier since suffering with a sinus infection and bronchitis (did I mention that both our children are sick too with ear infections and sinus infections?), I decided upon making some beautiful sugar cookies decorated in bright spring fashion.

I knew I needed to make some royal icing to adorn on these precious gems, but I wanted to see how the "experts" were decorating these days. So I hopped on over to The Pioneer Woman's site and stumbled upon a posting of...you guessed it cookie decorating, which eventually led me to this awesome baking supply company called Sweet Baking Supply. I was shocked by their product line and their prices. It was my kind of store. Then upon further searching I found out that the actual store front is located in my state of origin...Kansas.

As I placed my first order today, I had a flash back memory of my Ama and I standing in her kitchen decorated still in the 70s wallpaper (gosh I miss her) making one of her amazing cakes! Then looking out upon the sweet waving wheat fields of Kansas. I feel like that every day that passes I become more and more such a sentimental sappy mommy. Oh, well, Samantha Grace and Elijah are just going to have to deal.


Any ways...I encourage all my baking and non-baking friends to head on over to Sweet Baking Supply. They even have some awesome freebies! You never know, you just might find that inner baker inside of you!

P.S. I wish I had some awesome photos to share with you of the flowers, but I neglected to photograph them in time. But they must have been divine because there were only 3 brownies left!
