400 Gingerbread Hippos

Many, many, many hours and blisters on my thumbs and forefingers later we have Gingerbread Hippos. 400 of them are in this picture not including all the ones that the kids, my friend Nikki, and I ate while cutting, baking, and frosting them. So. Many. Hippos. But it was so much fun to do. Thank you so much, Nikki, for helping me frost them!

They were cute with just white granny panties on but for Christmas, last year, Santa brought me edible ink markers. How cute would polk-a-dots be on their panties?

Only SOOO CUTE!

350 multi-colored polk-a-dotted granny panties

and

About 40 Big hippos with Christmas Granny Panties on.

Full of Win!

Guess what I got in the mail today?

YES!!! HIPPO COOKIE CUTTERS! I am so excited. My life is now complete. Today my kids and I are going to make Gingerbread Hippos. I'll post pictures as soon as we're done. It might not be today. I have to make at least 200 probably closer to 300 cookies. I have an event on Friday and I'm going to be giving them away!

Wishing you tasty cooking,
