I started my holiday baking early this year. The first batch of cookies I made are a favorite of everyone who has tasted one. They are chocolate chip, toffee chip hazelnut cookies.

This past weekend I made roll out sugar cookies. This was the first time I decorated the cookies with gel color by painting on the details. The process was much quicker than embellishing them with different colors of royal icing. My favorite cookie out of this batch are the angels adorned with edible gold glitter.

Cherubs or putti, Italian for small boys is a design motif which originated in Italy during the Baroque period. The chubby infants are seen in paintings, sculpture, giltwood carvings,  vases, tapestries and textiles. One of my teachers in design school referred to them as "fat flying babies." Here are some examples I found today of this lovely design. Cherubs are often seen adorning cards and ornaments during the holiday and Christmas season.
