Almond Wreaths
Cookie part
1 cup butter
1 cup powdered sugar
1 egg
1/2 tsp almond extract
1/8 tsp salt
2 1/2 cups flour
Glaze
1 1/2 cups powdered sugar
1 tsp almond extract
1 tsp light corn syrup
2-3 Tbsp water
Combine butter an 1 cup powdered sugar in a large bowl. Beat at medium speed until creamy. Add Egg, almond extract and salt. Continue beating until mixed. Reduce speed to low. Add flour, beat until well mixed. Divide dough in half, wrap in plastic wrap, chill 30 minutes.
Heat oven to 375 F. Shape dough, one half at a time(keep other half in fridge) into 1 inch balls. Cut each ball in half, roll each half into 4.5 inch long ropes. Gently twist two ropes together and make wreath shape. Place on ungreased cookie sheet and bake 7-8 minutes or until edges are brown. Cool one minute, remove from sheets and place on racks over wax paper. Cool completely.
Combine glaze ingredients in small bowl, stir until smooth. Brush glaze onto a couple of cookies and sprinkle on decorations. Repeat with remaining cookies.
I will mention that you should only glaze 2-3 at a time and then decorate. The glaze dries quickly and the decorations won’t stick once dry.

the GazettE Live
Show: Maximum Royal Disorder
Song: Hana Kotoba [Flower word]
English Lyrics:
If I have to dry up, if I have to be trampled on then at least by you
It’s enough if I’m next to a beautiful flower, I just want to be beside you
A painful short life it will never change
Just loving loving you…
Every time you passed by you stroked me gently
On rainless days you gave me water so that I live strong
Then one day you disappeared now I’m blooming in vain
There’s no water for a flower that will wither away
There’s no light for the flower that will rot away
Just being scared of death I’m crawling in darkness
Looking for light I’m crawling in darkness
If you feel sorry for me then make a beautiful flower bloom
I want to be someone anybody can love
There’s no water for an ugly drying flower
A flower that only rots away won’t leave a bud behind
My eyes are covered in darkness I’m writhing I’m getting crushed
If it was you if it were you
I thought you would help me out of here somehow
I was crying in the revolving lantern
The feeling you gave me
Was it just a dream born out of desire?
I will soon wither away without ever knowing

From The Album
This Is What The Edge Of Your Seat Was Made For
Lyrics-
A cherry sunset blossoms,
But we’re not there to watch it fall,
On the vacant canvas, we should be waiting,
With our face down on the grass,
Staring till our eyes give way,
Let’s paint this city black,
While the night’s still young,
You,
This cherry sunset withers,
Our words, as frail as paper,
A dawn I thought we’d never see,
Alone, on this silent beach,
There is nothing we can do,
There is nothing we can do,
The sky, it burns itself out,
The sky, it burns itself out,
The sky, it burns itself out,
The sky, it burns itself,
The trees rot down to nothing,
Throats dry out and corpses fill the sidewalks,
These promenades, our graveyards,
The sky, it burns itself out,
The sky, it burns itself out,
There is nothing we can do,
The sky, it burns itself,
And I think we’re all about to ing die,
The trees rot down to nothing,
Throats dry out, and corpses fill these sidewalks,
These promenades, our graveyards,
Kneeling down on what’s left, sacrificed upon doom’s day,
Oh, if we could take it back and see one last twilight,
Take a picture, take a picture,
Take a picture, take a picture,
Take a picture,
Take a picture, take a picture,
Take a picture, take a picture,
It will last longer,
Our hands in prayer formation,
Our elbows on the bed,
One last try for Heaven,
Thinking who wants flowers when you’re dead?,
You’re dead,
When you’re dead,
Cherry, cherry,
Cherry, cherry,
Cherry, cherry,
Cherry, cherry,
Cherry,
A cherry sunset
