Spring Seedling Cookies

We just started working on our vegetable garden over the weekend, so this week seems like the perfect time to post my seedling cookies.

I've been wanting to try my hand at these cookies ever since Sachiko of mimicafe posted her adorable fondant sprout cupcake toppers. It only took me two years to get to it! You can see Sachiko's sprout cupcake topper tutorial on her YouTube channel.

Allow the icing to dry about 6 to 8 hours before handling the cookies.

Here are some photos from my gardening adventures. That's me helping to dig up the garden (my husband finished the job after I dug up that little patch).

We'll be ready to plant these seedlings once the weather warms up a little bit more. I'm very new to gardening, so this is all kind of experimental. Last year's garden was thriving up until about mid August when everything started to die off. I'm hoping this year goes better. Wish us luck!

  1. These are so cute! I loved the little cupcake toppers that inspired you as well. It was fun to see them, because I just posted photos of or seedlings on Facebook yesterday. Ours are sunflowers and morning glories. I don't grow veggies from seed too much. I cheat and buy the tomato plants, but I have done it. When I lived in Portland. OR gardening was so much easier. Here in Texas, it's a challenge! Good luck on your gardening adventure.

    1. Thank you, Julie! 😀 Last year we bought our tomato plants, but this year we're starting everything from seed! It will definitely be an adventure. I'm sure I'll learn a lot!

  2. Pelease tell me all about Youtube cookies
