Some of the people I love the most live too far away for frequent visits. My favorite way to connect with them — besides phone calls and Zoom sessions — is to bake for them. These sweet Deep Blue Sea cookies carried my hugs and kisses far and wide.

Do you have a special person in your life...someone who knows you and loves you anyway? If you can sit with that person for hours and not have to say a single word, if that person just “gets” you and you “get” him/her, well, that’s your lobster. With the amount of time I spend baking and decorating cookies, I’m always happy to find one that makes me smile and these quirky lobster cookies did that for me.

Summer always means a day (or longer) at the beach for me. This year all things Under the Sea tickled my fancy and the adorable clownfish inspired my cookie-baking tribute to ocean-dwelling creatures. These cute and colorful cookies were fun to make and delicious to eat. Don’t worry, I strictly limit my clownfish eating to the cookie variety so no clownfish were harmed during the making of these tasty bites. By chance I happened to find a clownfish cookie cutter, so I set out to populate my own underwater world with a nod to the most famous clownfish in history, Nemo.
