News on the Foodbuzz Project Food Blogfront: My kid’s cookie decorating dinner party got me through to round 4! Though I’m not sure how many more rounds I’ll survive. The competition is pretty dang impressive. But another huge and hearty THANK YOU! to all who voted for me. The next challenge: use photography to create a step by step, instructional photo tutorial.
As my daughter has been obsessively watching Wizard of Oz of late, and as it seems appropriate for Halloween, I thought of the witch’s legs after Dorothy smushes the wicked witch with her house in Munchkinland (accidentally, of course). So I made tiny little bite-size cookie stackswithsparkly ruby slippers.Step-by-step instructional tutorials are, as many of you know, a crucial component of this blog. But, I usually rely on my little drawings. So, this is a bit of new territory. Buthere goes. A photo tutorial…
how to make witch leg cookies
step one: bake your cookies
step two: prepare your frosting bag
step three: stack your cookies
step four: make your ruby slippers
step five: assemble your witch legs

You are too darn cute! I love the picture with her legs sticking out of the house, your daughter sure is a lucky girl!
How fun are those!!! What an incredibly creative idea, I love it! Your instructions were so clear and very easy to follow. Fantastic job! Best of luck.
Oh my goodness, that is so very cool! Perfect instructions too, just right.
Adorable!! What a fun tutorial
Wow! This tutorial is amazing! And the cookies are so cute. Thanks for the wonderful inspiration!
OMg, these tinny legs are perfect, I was looking for some ideas for my Baby's next month birthday and these one are definitely a must, thanks for sharing
Davvero un'idea molto simpatica, cercherò di rifarle per mia figlia ^_^ come sempre grazie per condividere con noi tutte queste meraviglie!
A presto

Such a cute idea! Congrats on making it to Challenge 4.
Those are so darn cute – love love love
I really like your step by step directions with the photos. I think that is very helpful and one thing that the Internet can do better than a traditional cookbook. That many photos would make a book crazy expensive.
OMG Meaghan this are fabulous! I LOVE them!
Cute cute CUTE! And just in time for Halloween.
MEAGHAN! I AM TYPING THIS IN ALL CAPS SO YOU WILL KNOW THAT I HAVE BEEN SQUEALING WITH DELIGHT FOR ABOUT TEN MINUTES OVER THESE. I LOVE. LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE. I HAVE TO REPOST ON MY BLOG AND CREDIT BACK TO YOU (OF COURSE). TOMORROW. YOU ARE MY COOKIE HEROINE.

This is absolutely adorable and so perfect for Halloween! Also, it's the kind of thing I'd NEVER attempt if it only featured one final photo. But since you explain it step-by-step, it makes it feel much more obtainable. Good luck!!
