Some pages feature one gloriously decorated cookie, while others might feature two or three interpretations of the same shape — ornaments in complementary colors, Christmas trees decorated in varying styles, or gingerbread men wearing a rainbow of colors and patterns.

Decorating instructions are as simple as tinting cookie dough green before baking Christmas trees or as intricate as piping hair on a gingerbread grandma, creating a frilly pattern for her apron, and decorating her dress using a pretty feathering technique. Techniques are described in full in a Decorating Glossary, and cookie and icing recipes are included.

Fresh inspiration and fabulous decorating ideas fill the pages of this handy little sourcebook. It’s the perfect gift for anyone who has ever picked up a pastry bag.

Publisher's Note:

The chart on page 17 gives ingredient quantities for making royal icing with meringue powder. Please note that you should use only 4 teaspoons of meringue powder for 2 cups of confectioners' sugar in both the piping and the flooding recipes. (The table incorrectly gives the meringue powder quantity as 4 tablespoons.) This will be corrected in reprints of the book.

Our thanks to an alert reader for finding and pointing out this error and our apologies for any inconvenience this may have caused.

LEHIGHTON-Douglas fir growing at Crystal spring tree status Mahoning Township, is about the most famous tree in the Americas.

Last week, the White House officials went to Carbon County farm, if they chose as the official White House Christmas Tree Evergreen.

"This is it," Rear Admiral Stephen Rochon, Vice President and Chief executive of the place of residence, said before the usher of the tree was attached to the Red velvet color band signify the honor.

Rochon mentioned so many beautiful trees, you can select an owner Chris Botek does not proceed to the selection procedure easily but grand champion trees growing seems par for the course Botek family, who provided the White House tree, four years ago, won the National Christmas Tree Contest, to earn the honor for the first time.

Botek said again, he was "necessary" for more information about the farm, he co-owns her with their parents to provide the wood for the White House in the blue Room.

"Words does not describe how the feeling," he said.

Rochon came after 9: 00 and after greeting Botek at barn property, he asked, "do you have some of the trees in the US?"

"Make sure that we do," Chris said then into pickup trucks climbed and led the White House officials and an Entourage of the media and the dirt roads in three-color FIR, hill. Botek said one he "had in mind" the White House and wood measured just over 20 feet long.

"This is definitely a nice shape" Rochon said.

C?l?bre la Saint Sylvestre (Celebrate the New Year)

Warner's muse was a modern-day professional, which suits the contemporary setting. While some streamlined Christmas decorations remain, the look is pared down for a New Year's Eve celebration. Tasting dishes mimic the shape of the sleek table from the Speed Up collection that was conceived by a former car designer.

"People are working harder these days," says Warner, who likes to keep things simple yet sophisticated, with an emphasis on smaller portions and smaller crowds.

Warner says it's easy to re-create this look. "Start with a beautiful table and chairs," she says. The crisp black-and-white combo goes one step further with animal print dishes and an ottoman with a laser-cut design.

"Throw in a splash of color such as red," Warner suggests. The bold shade appears in a painting and an adjustable-height end table. "Less is more. Try two accent pieces that are balanced." And don't be afraid to toss in one traditional element, like a chair, for a touch of the unexpected.

30th Anniversary and A New Beginning

Lachman created a masterful mix of antiques with contemporary pieces. "The antiques are mostly from my own personal collection, including crystal and flatware from a trip to Paris," she says. The orange centerpiece makes everything pop. Mirrored placemats shine atop the Macassar ebony table. "I've been using them for the past 25 years," Lachman says. "All you need is a little glass cleaner to polish them up." French utensils are placed face-down, European-style, she says.

Putting everything together shows a different view instead of sticking to one theme, Lachman says. "If you have antiques passed down from generation to generation, they can make a spectacular setting."

A second vignette features orchids strewn about the table without a container. Lilies rest in a large vessel on the buffet. A candelabrum from the 1800s is filled with contemporary candles. Crystal accent pieces sparkle alongside mirrored placemats. "Keep it simple, mixing old with new," Lachman says. "People don't think to take out their antiques and use them with other things, but you can, and you should."

Engagement Party -- Manhattan Condo

This intimate engagement party features a beautiful blend of French and Italian elements. "They are both wine countries, so there is a subtle wine theme," Whitman says. Depression glass from the 1920s features the "Block Optic" pattern, a more contemporary design that has an iridescent quality, the designer notes. The green glasses are mixed with newer varieties in purple.

Napkins were made from Duralee fabric and the furniture is from the Stately Homes collection by Baker. A trio of gorgeous blooms by Blumz in Ferndale sits inside metal wine coolers for a striking centerpiece. Clusters of green and purple grapes hang from the arrangements, while mums float inside finger bowls. Tealight candles in little votive holders are placed in larger containers for more impact.

"Mix it up. It's much more interesting that way. Stack it up and pile it up too," says Whitman, who keeps her entertaining pieces together for easy access. "I have one big cabinet that I go to for candlesticks, etc. Just bring out some of the things you have at the house. It's more you. It's more personal."

Tying the Knot

This classic combination of white and gray is embellished with pops of chartreuse. "It's a very modern, clean approach that's kind of whimsical and fun," Sinistaj says. Low voltage lights from Resource Lighting dangle above the cozy head table that has a bench for the newlyweds. Napkins with a lip logo pack a graphic punch as do placemats with a geometric design. Utensils are neatly tucked inside what the designer dubs her "napkin origami." An organic flower arrangement completes the look.

White rectangular plates echo the other shapes. "I was trying to play with geometry," Sinistaj explains. Favor boxes resemble neckties, while seating arrangements appear on small stones. Planters hold beverages. "I like refreshments situated outside in random places," says Sinistaj, who designed a decorative pillow made from woven ties.

Comfortable seating is a must for any occasion. "I am a huge fan of lounge seating. Take a sofa and bring it outside. Use whatever you have," says Sinistaj, who is not afraid to learn from her mistakes. "Definitely try things. That's how you get something unique and beautiful."

The Gathering

Jones loves the mix of old and new, especially when there are one-of-a-kind or found objects involved. "It makes the space warm and unique," she says.

Her homecoming theme contains holiday d?cor that is rather timeless and can be used year-round. "Use things that are special and unique to you," says Jones, who likes a little edge of sophistication. She particularly loves the texture of plants and trees. "I like neutrals and adding just enough sparkle," she says. "I also like mixing what is specific for the season with something less expected like real with artificial."

Margot Hunter from Margot's Custom Floral in Sterling Heights created the arrangements for the forest-like environment that she describes as "warm with a little glitz." A moss runner lines a spectacular glass and wrought-iron table creating a lovely contrast. Other moss-covered objects are juxtaposed with shiny mercury glass.

"The wreath could be up year-round and is made for outside," Hunter says. Oversize globes join a variety of feathers and bulbs, while stately garden statues and urns make a lovely statement.

The neutral colors don't jump out at you, says Hunter, who is a big believer in abundance. "Oversize objects have a presence," she says.

The Tartan Christmas

Beautiful botanicals set the tone for this well-dressed holiday table, where even a stag statue gets done up for the occasion. Plaid ribbon serves as the inspiration for the theme. Plates feature a plaid pattern too. "It's an elegant vignette of a warm Christmas dinner," Segasser says. "It can remind you of an old English holiday." The ribbons wrapped around the chairs are embellished with pine cones and holly berries, which are repeated throughout the space. The repetition of materials ties everything together.

The designers like to take everyday items, such as books, and add a berry spray for the holiday season. A decorative box is filled with holiday greens. Ornaments sit inside dessert cups, while the centerpiece can be used year-round.

A painting from Marie Howard accentuates the colorful theme. "This is not your typical Christmas. There's a sense of elegance," says Segasser, who likes to have a little symmetry. "It gives balance to the space."

An impressive wreath displayed on a large piece of furniture gets more attention than one left outside on the front door. "It's too pretty. You want to enjoy it," Wood says. "The unexpected is always a great treat."

La Festa Italiana

The designer presents a vibrant housewarming party inspired by his clients. The new VIETRI collection is from The Italian Dish in Birmingham. "I love the colors," King says. A metal tray made by a local artist holds vases filled with candles and stones. Corkscrew-shaped pasta is scattered about for a touch of whimsy, while other edibles bring color and texture to the table.

The designer's Italian clients hosted a large housewarming party when their project was complete. "This is my miniature version," King says. The furniture is from Henredon and the lively VIETRI silverware comes from The Italian Dish. Tiny cards clipped to photo stands can hold a special note for your guests.

King managed to merge three different collections together. "I encourage people to use their creativity," he says. "It doesn't all have to match." Certain layers remain constant for a more cohesive look.

"Make the food your decoration. Notice there's not a flower on the table," King says. "You can do a casual space like this and still make it a fabulous space."

The Olympian's 2010 list of local bazaars is a work-in-progress

It's that time of year again!

Advertise your non-profit bazaar in The Olympian's annual listing of local bazaars. This is what we need to know:

Name of Bazaar, sponsor, time, days, dates, street address, description of what you're selling, and the name and phone number of a contact person. Also, let us know whether or not you have space for others to join your bazaar, and what the cost might be.

Think you're a good cook?

Prove it. Start cooking and enter the Puyallup Fair.

The fair sponsors close to 100 categories of food contests. It’s free to enter. First- and second-place winners, and in some cases third-place finishers, win products, gift baskets or cash prizes of $3 to $200.

Walking tour of the city by the bay

SAN FRANCISCO – San Francisco is one of the world’s great walking cities, but it can seem like one endless climb. So we found a springtime walk that mostly heads downhill – and two ways to do it.

The first is to follow in our footsteps, although you are free to take detours and explore places that catch your eye.

The second is more structured; for that one, you’ll have to sign up with Shanghai San Francisco. The 3-year-old company hosts a street-theater walking tour and interactive scavenger hunt along a route similar to ours. Whichever path you choose, you’re in for delights and discoveries.
