Sombrero Cookie Tutorial

May 14, 2014June 17, 2021

The boys’ favourite Cinco de Mayo activity this year was without a doubt the sombrero cookies; which is great because it was also the simplest activity to provide for!

Cookies (we bought ours)

Marshmallows (we used white)

Frosting (we used vanilla)

Icing gels, sugar sprinkles and jelly tots

Here’s how we did it. I modelled one, and they got the idea very quickly. Baby Dragon spent a great deal of time mixing the sprinkles and jellytots.

They turned out to be very delicious, apparently!

OUR FIRST BACKYARD BBQ OF 2017

I had no idea that we were going to be enjoying our first Backyard BBQ of the year this weekend – but when I woke up on Saturday, Gav casually mentioned that he’d already invited his parents over for just that – that afternoon. After the fastest get-your-clothes-on-and-get-out-of-the-house-and-into-the-car performance in recent history [second only to the…
