I kinda crispified these little stars but I’m sure my grand babies won’t mind. A super simple Christmas Tree made with my Star Stack of cutters. Just cut two of each size and stack them on top of each other with some yummy white chocolate drip, a sprinkle of icing sugar and there you have it! A sweet little centre piece for your Christmas table. I hope your Christmas baking isn’t sending you mad beautiful bakers. Stay tuned for some more easy peasy Christmas cookie ideas xo #christmastreecookies #christmasbakingideas #homebaker

Still one of my most favourite Christmas treats… white chocolate and Gingerbread stars. Super easy and equally delish!

Sometimes less is so much more. Did you know that you can use my acrylic cookie stamps for your cookie dough too? I just love a naked cookie, especially in our Gingerbread Recipe. The rich colour, that gorgeous smell. I’m keeping our family Christmas super simple this year with naked cookies, homemade bakes and preserves and to be honest I feel so less stressed already.

One last pic for the grid on these stunning Autumn leaves by @crumbswithlove_ Stay tuned for some of my gingerbread favourites coming up this week xo #cookiesofinstagram #fall #gingerbread

Who else is all hands in the air with this humid weather at the moment? Seriously a fondant cookier’s worst nightmare.
Not everyone has a dehydrator and without one it can be tricky to get those gorgeous creations set and ready for packaging.
Here’s a couple of tips you can try.

Use a Fan: Set up a fan in the room to increase airflow around your cookies. A gentle breeze helps to evaporate moisture from the fondant, speeding up the drying process. Position the fan so it circulates air without blowing directly onto the cookies, which can cause them to dry unevenly.

Place Cookies in a Cool, Dry Area: Put your cookies in the driest, coolest part of your home, ideally away from the kitchen’s humidity or any heat sources. A room with air conditioning or a window that’s not directly exposed to sunlight is ideal. You can also try placing them on a raised cooling rack, which allows air to circulate underneath.

I’ve been MIA…. Quietly catching up in the background, creating, recharging, refocusing. This time of year can be all consuming, so easy to fall head first into the whirlwind of crazy. This is my little reminder that’s it’s ok to step back and breathe. I’m sure we all feel the pressure to be present on social media, particularly when it’s the core of our business but we don’t close our doors at 5pm and clock off. One thing I’ve learnt this year is that it’s so important to take care of you! I hope you can take some time out too. Even if it’s just for a moment to do something or nothing. I’ll leave you with these gorgeous Autumn leaves by the incredible Bridget from @crumbswithlove_ and stay tuned for more of Bridget’s gorgeous creations coming soon. Our store will reopen at 9pm tonight. Have the most wonderful day in every way xox Catherine #crumbswithlove #fall #autumn #cookies #cookiestamps #cookiecutters

Yes it’s official… I have the attention span of a 2 year old. Because I’m not busy enough right! I get these wild ideas and just run like a lunatic straight at them.

EXCITING NEWS. Introducing Vintage Sugarcraft Stencils and Royal Icing Transfers. I’ve only ever really used stencils with fondant. Whether it’s been to roll a pattern or texture or apply a lustre dust. I’ve been playing in the background for the last few months, trialling product materials and designs until I was absolutely happy that I could offer a premium stencil product…. crickets 🦗 … life got busy and I shelved it for a while. Then came along the amazing Mel from @cookieretreats with a high energy pep talk and a passion for Royal Icing. Mel gave me the motivation to push on and think outside of my neat little controlled fondant universe. So I dragged it all out, persevered and pushed on. Our packaging has arrived and I can’t wait to show you the finished product. Perfect for traditional stencilling, royal icing transfers and so much more. Watch this space- you’re going to love what’s on the way! And if you aren’t already… check out @cookieretreats and see everything wonderful that Mel has planned for us all x

When life gives you lemons….or oranges in this case. We’ve all been there….. that pesky little breakage or we are one cookie short for an order. I’ve baked a whole new batch of cookies because I’ve been one cookie short……aarrrgghhhh. Try this simple little microplane hack to save you time and money. This is not my original idea. I saw it years ago when scrolling Instagram and it’s absolutely kept me sane when things have gone wrong. Have you tried this hack?

Well it’s official! I’ve put my big girl pants on and stepped away from my comfort zone and into the big wide world of BLOGGING. Crazy but true 🙈 Why, why, why?? Because this cookie/cake/social media journey has changed my world. From a career in criminal justice to cookie decorating to creating my own baking products and establishing @vintagesugarcraftbycatherine With the encouragement of Sarah @poppinscopy (who by the way is the most fabulous social media/copywriting/website Guru I know) I wanted to share what brought me to this point in my life and create a community where we can have real conversations that are authentic and honest. The first blogs a bit of a back story but I’ve got so much juicy content planned. Pop on over if you’re so inclined, I’d love to share my journey with you. You can access my blog via the website with the link in bio. Oh and there’s the best damned Carrot Cake recipe you will EVER come across tucked away in there too. How do I know it’s the best? Because my beautiful Nan said it was and this is her family recipe passed down through the generations xo Have the most wonderful day beautiful bakers xox #blogger #foodie #myjourney #cookieblog #cakeblog #community #itsnevertoolate #family #generations #familyrecipe #carrotcakerecipe

Finishing off the grid with Bridget from @crumbswithlove_ Christmas Village and Font Tiles. When I designed these little Font Tiles I had no idea how popular they would be. Maybe it’s the simple elegance of a single rolled colour 🤔 I don’t know but they have definitely been my most popular seller this season. I hope your Saturday includes some time just for you.

I love the gorgeous colours Bridge has chosen with this Nordic Christmas Bundle- a set from our first ever Christmas release.

But Bridge has taught me a valuable lesson… we don’t all see things through the same lens and how absolutely wonderful is that! Stay tuned for more of Bridget’s work this week. I can’t wait to show you how versatile Bridget has showcased our new Scandi Adventure Calendar. Super gorgeous.

Cake by the ocean! I wish. I’ve had a super productive weekend, working through my long list of kinda started, almost finished etc etc. These little Sea Shells have been on my to do list since forever and will join our Starfish and Clam in both mini’s and full size. Super easy to two tone and look ever so sweet as cupcake toppers or teeny tiny cookies to complement your sea themed sets. It’s a public holiday here in Victoria tomorrow so who knows…. I might even get these loaded onto the website. Have a fabulous evening gorgeous bakers.

Happy Saturday Beautiful Bakers. Finishing off the grid with this super muted Magnolia. Our latest collection of florals is available now with 15% off all floral designs this weekend. You can find us via the link in my bio. Simply enter the code FLORAL15. Have the most wonderful weekend xox #floralcookies #handpainted #cookiereels #cookiesofinstagram

Happy Friday! Come along and paint this little leaf with me.. no real technique here. Just start light and build depth of colour as you go. This little Magnolia Leaf will feature in our soon to be released Boho Christmas Wreath. It’s the simple things in life xo have a lovely day beautiful bakers xox Catherine #leafcookies #cookiebouquet #paintedcookies #cookietutorial #cookiereels #cookiereel #cookies #cookiesofinstagram #cookiestamps #cookiecutters #floralcookiestamps #bakingsupplies #selftaughtbaker #homebaker #magnolia

Ok so along with my many flaws which include spending way too many hours in my pajamas...I do tend to get easily distracted. So distracted in fact that this set of Magnolia’s was only ever supposed to be ONE Magnolia. I needed just one Magnolia for a twist on a Christmas wreath that you guessed it... I am yet to finish. I got distracted and a little carried away after I finished that one design. I’m kind of glad I did because I am loving this as a new collection of florals. It’s a sweet little side step from Christmas for now and I can’t tell you how good that feels xo I’ll pop these up on the website over the next couple of days. #magnolia #magnolias #magnoliacookies #floralcookiestamps #floralcookies #cookiestamps #cookiecutters #cookiesofinstagram #handpaintedcookies #cookieart #cookiedesign #bakingsupplies #cookieinspo #fondantcookies

And that’s a wrap on the grid.. Florals up next because I haven’t done a bouquet in a while and leading up to this time of year I’m sure we all know someone who needs one x Christmas isn’t all bells and whistles for everyone. It can be a difficult time for so many people for all kinds of reasons. It’s easy to forget that when everywhere you look is Christmas Central. I’ll be bringing back another little Kindness stamp tucked into your orders over the next few weeks. Go gently. Have a wonderful evening beautiful bakers xox Catherine #christmascake #bekind #kindnessmatters #joyofbaking

A quick close up because my OCD will not let me move onto my next theme until I tidy up my grid. Can anyone else relate 🤭😂 #terracehousecookies👍 #housecake

I love the creativity that baking allows. I can indulge myself and try new things. I’m always pushing myself to think of ways that my stamps and cutters can be used across multiple themes but it’s time I stepped further out of that safe zone. I’ve been playing with cakes lately and this one was super easy because you get to hide all those perfect imperfections ❤️ You know I don’t do “commercial”. Well for the most part I avoid it where I can. I want to offer designs that are timeless and multi purpose. Stamps and cutters can be costly so you want to be able to get the most value out of your purchases right? I guess that’s why I love texture so much… it never goes out of style and it’s so versatile. I’m absolutely loving these Terrace Houses and I’ve used them here for Cake inspo. I’ve teamed the little Village House from last Christmas’s Collection and I’m in love with this simple standout Christmas Cake. I must admit the icing sugar drift was my favourite part and I just had to film it for you. Have the most wonderful week however you choose to spend it xo love and kindness always xox Catherine #cake #cookies #cakeinspo #cookiereels #christmascookies #housecake #terracehousecookies #terracehousecake #cake #cookiedecorating #cookiestamps #cookiecutters #cookieinspo

And if you’re wanting Advent Cookies for Christmas, Steph’s got you covered. Pop on over to @sweetandpetite.cookieco give Steph a follow and check out all things Christmas. We have three variations of Advent Calendars available this year. From our OG traditional to our latest Scandi inspired options with and without numbers. I hope you’re having a wonderful Saturday. I’m off to research cupcakes and cookies for Halloween as I’ve just been informed by my grand babies that that’s my job this week because they’ve promised their friends. Give me strength… lucky they’re the loveliest little things in my life xo #adventcalendar #adventcookies #cookiedecorating #cookiedesign #christmascookies #cookiepackagingideas #community #bakerslove #cookiestyling #cookiepackaging #ribbonsandbows #christmas #christmascookies #cookiestagram #cookiestamps #cookiecutters

Update: PREORDERS OPEN FOR DISPATCH NOV 8th.
Dreams can come true...because of YOU! Only 16 Gingerbread Cottage Kits left 🥹❤️
I can’t begin to tell you the raft of emotions I’ve been through with bringing this project to life. From the sheer joy and excitement of getting to collaborate with my absolute industry idol, Debbie from @little_bikkie to that ever present feeling of “can I really do this?”.

Launching a new product can be a scary venture for a small business and one woman show but it’s been the unconditional support and encouragement of this beautiful baking community that spur me on to be bold, take chances and follow my heart.

I truly am forever grateful to each and every one of you.
Have the most fabulous weekend Beautiful Bakers xox
Much love and heartfelt thanks
