Decorated Nautical Cookies!

The fleet is in!

Are they nautical wedding cookies? Nautical Save-the-Date cookies? Nautical birthday cookies or nautical baby announcement cookies?

Let’s signal L.O.V.E.

Save-the-Date for a nautical wedding or to announce the very special arrival of a new member of the crew.

The Scrabble possibilities are endless when you know the nautical alphabet or you can make up your message flags.

I made these cookies quickly and just for fun because I’ve had the idea for while. If I had more drying time I would have used royal icing on the fondant flags instead of using the food markers but they are fine too, just a different look.

The rope is made from fondant. I rolled it over a fine spring to imprint the lines and then brushed gold luster powder over it to bring out the impressions.

Dear friends,

I've had little to slow as a snail internet this past week so I was unable to comment and thank you for your very nice words of encouragement. Thank you! xoxo

These are *amazing*, I love them, and of course pinned them all over the "Nautical Inclinations" board I have on Pinterest. (With linkage back to you.) They're just fabulous!

Sending you a smile,
