Guest post from Hanielas…A Picket Fence Cookie!

We are so honored to have the fabulously talented Hani with us today! If you have never visited Haniela’s you are missing out on some of the most amazing confectionary eye candy on the web.  Her Eiffel Tower Gingerbread Centerpiece is a true work of art!  Today she is showing us how to create these delightful…wait for it…Picket Fence Cookies! 

Thank you so much Hani for visiting us today and teaching us some cookie decorating tips and now we’ll turn it over to her!

I’m so super excited to be guest posting on At the Picket Fence, thank you Heather and Vanessa for having me over, I’ve been a fan for a long time, I always find a great deal of inspiration here.
When I was deciding on  what to make for my guest post I was certain of one thing, I knew it had to be a fence.A fence is like a cherry on the house, it adds charm to an old cottage, house, farm.  I live in a farm country with plentiful fences around and during Christmas property owners decorate their fences with fresh garlands, wreaths or red bows in a very festive style.

  9. I am a true fan of Hani’s work. She is such an artist but on top of her amazing delicate delish designs, she is very thoughtful, visiting and commenting on smaller blogs. That is cool, she is a class act. These cookies are just lovely.
