The Christmas holiday season is now upon us.  Making an Advent wreath cookie is one of my favorite cookie traditions.  This is my eighth Advent wreath.  I love making Advent wreaths because the wreath contains two of my favorite colors: pink and purple.  This year's edition had a few firsts for me.  I didn't have any leftover purple icing but I had navy blue, which is the secondary color for Advent wreaths. 

Every wreath that I've made so far has been circular.  This year I wanted to do something different.  I started looking for images of Advent wreaths and many had all the candles lined up.  I hand-cut this cookie based off a sketch I made.  I airbrushed the cookie to give the candles their glow.  I piped the poinsettias with a 65s tip.   

The weekly themes of Advent are Hope, Love, Joy and Peace, all virtues we can use more of during the busy holiday season.
