IT IS FIESTA TIME!

And the ear worm is courtesy of Sally Newton, just for you! As this song plays loud inside your head, let me take you through a few cookie designs to celebrate this day…

A fiesta needs music….

Will not lie to you, the guitar cookies shaved off about 8.5 months of my life expectancy, thanks to the fine line piping… Haniela really outdid herself with this design, you can check all the details in this video from her recent live.

A fiesta needs food…

A fiesta needs proper attire…

Girls better dress to dance…

Decorations everywhere….

For the large cactus, I followed the same Haniela’s live I linked above. The little banner is made with Royal icing transfers, she provided the template in her ko-fi shop.

They were a lot of fun to make and would go nicely in many different cookie designs, so I saved the leftovers for the future. This is such a joyful set of cookies, it just makes me smile!

    Well, this is a fun lesson for a European gal living Down Under ! What lively colour in dress and hats and food and ‘ouch’ the cacti all beautifully visible . . . thank you for sending the Cinco de Mayo across the Big Pond for us to enjoy also . . . I can hear the guitars right across it . . .

      I had never heard of the Cinco while growing up in Brazil – maybe “real” Mexicans do not celebrate it, but hey, why skip the opportunity to make such colorful cookies?????

        Oh yes, they do. Vicki Challancin lived in Mexico for some 30 years and sent gorgeous posts from San Miguel de Allende every year – you are perfectly correct !

      I love those too! They were from the past, made for the baby shower of my grand son Leo, the whole party was Tex-Mex…
