Cookiepocalypse update/progress report!

[flange5]

So, since my past post, I have spent a minimum of 7 hours a day on cookies, and I'm still not done. I might finish by this weekend. But I thought I'd take a short break and post my progress

i love these cookies. and I'm looking forward to the Right Back to You costumes.

I am really looking forward to making them \o/ They sort of feel like the reward when I get done with this, honestly. I'm really not looking forward to all the boxing and addressing and mailing ahead of me ^^;

I am however, looking forward to regaining my kitchen and office spaces \o/

I am really hoping that will happen some time this weekend. The Boy is at a conference, so if I want to stay up ridiculously late to work on these I can, as long as it doesn't mess with my teaching. So I am hopeful that I can get a lot done in the next 4 days ^^v

God.
God.
God.

They are all so adorable.

I have nothing of any value to contribute to this conversation except to say...you should really consider making this into a business someday. @__________@

Thank you! *flails at you*

I'm glad you like them!

You know, I was having a conversation about the whole business thing with a friend, and she was suggesting I open an Etsy store . . . I just don't know what I would have to charge per cookie to make it actually feasible ^^; They take so long to make . . . and obviously, I make them for fun as much as anything, but . . . I wonder how long that would last if I were actually trying to profit from them ^^;

YOU ARE SOOOOOOO AMAZING!! I seriously cannot wait for my cookies to arrive! ^________^ Once again I am overwhelmed with a feeling of awe seeing the talent of Arashi fans shine through in this fundraiser. You have phenomenal icing skills, and my jaw was just dropped scrolling through all the pictures! Seriously, you should be a superhero, one that uses baking skills to triumph over evil. ;D

I also feel like kicking myself up the rear for not requesting a Yabai Jun (it brings tears to my eyes, ngl)!! I kinda gave up thinking of what to request and just asked for the dome ones because I'm addicted to shiny, glittery things (yeah, I'm definitely an Arashi fan X3). But I'm still looking forward to them A LOT! :DD

On another note, I agree that Ragdolls are one of the most adorably friendly balls of fluffy mush and affection ever! My neighbour has a pair, and one of them, I swear, has adopted our house. xDDD Jun should definitely get a pair! <3

I had never heard of Ragdolls before the kitteh decided she was ours, but they are lovely&hearts

We have frequent conversations to the effect that she's really a Golden Retriever in disguise ^^;

[flange5]

Awwwww!

Thank you #^_^#

I am now having an amusing time thinking of all the ways a superhero could use icing for good!

To be honest, I've never really worked with icing before, so I'm glad it's pretty forgiving, generally. I am surprised at how quickly one can pick it up. I don't have any particular skills, but . . . . they turn out well--I think it's mostly patience. Well that, and love of concert wear ^^;;

I did enjoy the Yabai cookies--I'd been planning them since before the fundraiser, so I was excited to get the chance to try my hand at it ^)^v

Food lord, this is really late >_<;; I'm really sorry; it's been hectic at work and home even without cookies, so I'm way way behind ^^;

[masteraura]

I can't imagine that someone will do this (because it's really hard). And you're the first person in my whole who did this!

Otsukaresama deshita! :)
Hands down to your patience baking skills and creativity! (and kicks myself for not having those skills).

All of the cookies are gorgeous! And I don't think I can eat them if ever I have one. :D

[flange5]

I am so late in replying O__o So sorry about that; the end of the semester and a work conference pretty much ate my life these past few weeks.

But thank you so much! I enjoyed making these! I can tell you that the baking is really simple, and the decorating . . . well, patience is a must but it's probably not as hard as it looks ^^; It just takes a lot of time and a great love of hilariously ridiculous costumes ^_^v

But I'm glad you like them! I was really surprised at how well-received they were! I'm just really happy that most of the people who got them seem happy with them!

[naeusix]

THIS. I DONT EVEN. YOU ARE SIMPLY AMAZING! *kowtows ;D

[flange5]

Thank you! I'm glad you like them ^_^v
