Most of the year I'm not a big coffee drinker.  When Christmas time rolls around, I love it!  It might have to do with Starbucks peppermint mochas and cranberry bliss bars.  This year Starbucks has a new Chestnut Praline Latte which is delicious.  To celebrate my love for coffee at Christmas time, I made some cookies. 

I used this coffee cup cookie cutter.  For the coffee with the whip cream, I used the cupcake cookie cutter from this set.  Before baking, I cut the top off the cupcake and coffee cup, then attached the top of the cupcake to the coffee cup.  I started decorating the cookies by piping and flooding the cup red, allowing that to dry overnight.  The next day, I piped and flooded the lid and whipped topping.  While the whipped topping icing was still wet, I added crushed candy cane.  I also piped and flooded the brown sleeves, allowing it to dry overnight. 

I found this coffee cup shape for my Silhouette.  I cut it out to use as a stencil for the design on the coffee cup.  I used wax paper to cover all the areas of the cup I did not want to have design.  I used silver sheen to air brush on the design.  I added a message on the coffee sleeve.  I took one of my Christmas scrapbook stamps and stamped it on the sleeve with white food coloring.
