...Fancy Flours!!!

Okay, okay...so I know that I said yesterday we were celebrating the age old adage April Showers Bring May Flowers but I decided to take my own creative license on today's post to talk about our fun Fancy Flours Challenge for May.

For our everyday readers you will remember that last month Claudia announced a fun, monthly event we will be embarking upon which requires you, the readers to challenge Claudia to take the most amazing, most bizarre cookie cutters and find a way to link them to a holiday in any given month. Each month you will also be invited to browse the Fancy Flour website for the most outrageous, most unseemly, most ridiculous cookie cutter you can find. Her challenge? Use the winning cookie cutter (determined by most votes or random drawing) to bake, decorate, package, and deliver a treat that connects your cookie with my holiday. For example, last month she had to connect porcupines to Earth Day.

What most of our readers don't know is Cheryl and I are competitors through and through and there is nothing we love more than a challenge. As such I'd love to throw a serious challenge Claudia's way. Last month she managed to pull through with some really cute porcupine cookies but bumbled it all by wrapping Earth Day cookies in cellophane...this month I'd like us to come up with something that will be impossible to connect.

So here's the scoop. I'm doing my part in this throwdown of sorts by naming the holiday for May, "National Backyard Games Week" Seriously, how specific is that!!! She'll never be able to link that to some of the crazy, kooky shapes at fancyflours.com! So now it is your turn. Scour the pages of www.fancyflours.com to find the most unique, most creative, most CHALLENGING cookie cutter you can find and let's see if Claudia can pull this one out of that creative hat of hers.

And for our Derby treat today...one lucky reader will win the cookie cutter that Claudia is challenged to work with courtesy of Fancy Flours!
