Why buy expensive decorations in the supermarket while you can make your own at home? Its quick and fast and fun and even cheap.

I came up with this to use for the Rabbit Steamed Buns in.If you decorate a cake or manju too early with these, the moisture may soften and melt the mochi. For best results, decorate right before serving. Recipe by Sumireno usagi

These su gar cookies are delicious. Use cookie cutters with shapes that match your party theme.

I wanted to make adorable Japanese sweets that were perfect for spring, so I did some experimenting with uiro dough, trying to make it not too stiff but not too soft. Finally, I thought it looked about right, so I uploaded the recipe.If you need to re-shape the dough, roll it into a ball, cover it with plastic wrap and microwave it for 30 seconds, then stretch it out. If you have too much of the shiro-an, it'll stick out of the sides, so be sure to match the amount of bean paste to the size of the circle of dough. My microwave is 600w, but yours may differ, so please adjust the microwave time in step 3 accordingly. The grains of flour shouldn't be visible, and it should be springy. When the dough dries out it gets hard, so you may want to cover it with plastic wrap while you're working. Recipe by Shiropiyo

I created this recipe because I like bread with a gentle sweetness.If you sprinkle powdered sugar when the egg mixture is still wet, it will melt, so do it when the egg mixture is a little bit dry. Recipe by kkomugi

I wanted to find a recipe that mimics Lofthouse sugar cookies. I came across one and tweaked it a bit. I hope you enjoy them as much as i do!

I'm a beginner, so if my recipe isn't clear please leave a comment. ;-)

I made a video clip of this "nerikiri" last year, but I did not write down the recipe. As requested, I uploaded the recipe.I hope you can brighten up your day with this sparkling Japanese confectionary during the rainy season.It looks more transparent and prettier if the snail shell is not too dark in color. For 2 servings. Recipe by decocookie

I didn't really like the simple coloring of baked sweets in general, and came up with this recipe while I was in grade school, thinking it'll be perfect for many celebrations, such as enrollment, commencement, etc. I've been using it as a gift during many occasions for many years ever since.Following a request I received, I listed katakuriko potato starch as a substitute ingredient for corn starch, but I changed it to cake flour since although using katakuriko starch made it easier to pipe, the grooved pattern didn't come out that well.The grooved pattern will come out better when the dough is firm.When using powdered food coloring, dissolve with warm water or water, and color it stronger.If the dough seems too firm during the winter etc., soften by adding water or milk (no more than about 10 ml) or by warming it up a bit.I made the dough in the photo by putting the colored dough between the non-colored ones.The coloring will come out nicely that way.

My mom's favorite Christmas cookie. I revamped my Grammie's recipe by adding walnuts

My grandkids expect cookies at Christmas time and so does the rest of the fam so I started off this morning with these. Super easy and done with a cookie scoop. I use shortening a lot because it’s more stable than butter and no cholesterol. Probably most have had these before. I made these with a sugar cookie dough instead of a brown sugar dough. I think They like them better🎄
