Those of you that have been following for the last few months have no doubt read the occasional rant from me about the bathroom renovations (and since when have renovations not come accompanied by a rant?). Luckily the kitchen was a rather easy process and one that was relatively stress free. I was waiting for my oven for a while however. The kind people at LG had offered me the latest EM790SP (yes the one with a TV screen that I fell in love with at the Good Food & Wine Show) and I waited and waited for it to arrive. One month turned into two and then looked dangerously close to turning into three until it was confirmed that it might not arrive for a few months after that. They offered me the LG EM780SP instead which had all the features except for the screen and within 48 hours it was installed and I was standing in front of it like a proud owner. She was just like me in that she liked dramatic entrances and I’ve already decided it is a she, like our car is a she.
I tweeted about what I should cook and got some great suggestions for delicious sounding things but the one that struck me was one from @Fuchsia_D who suggested I make something out of cinnamon as it would make the house smell great. I thought about it and decided that she was absolutely right. What better way to commemorate my new oven than by baking something that would envelop the whole house with a sweet, baking aroma?
As the oven was a bit of a surprise delivery, I didn’t have a lot of ingredients to hand, mainly pantry staples so I consulted my “To Bake” list and found an idea that I loved – Silhouette or Cameo cookies that Dessert Girl had linked to. I was hoping to come across some Cameo cutters but saw that the original creator of the style had traced a picture and piped royal icing around it and filled it. So I googled cameo silhouette and found some and since I was without a printer (well we had one but it wasn’t connected and I was feeling lazy), I traced it on the computer screen (shhh don’t tell Mr NQN, he gets mad at me for doing things like that!). I made some royal icing and traced around the drawings and left them to set for a few hours. If they looked halfway decent, then I’d make the cookies.
The Cameos didn’t look too bad so with the green light, I made a Cinnamon cookie. I don’t have any oval cutters which I do realise would have made it look more authentic (think Milk Arrowroot biscuit size and shape) but the aroma did not disappoint. The cookies were buttery, sweet and cinnamon-y and fantastic and the smell while baking them drove me wild with desire.
My pull out pantry
My Slimline pantry (which would have been dead space as it was near the kitchen entrance). More shelves to come for my spices…
And as for my kitchen, allow me to give you a little tour of it. It was a tiny poky thing before we renovated it and I knew it had to be white (for better blogging photos) and also to make it appear bigger. The bench top had to be lovely snow white Caeserstone so that it could stand knocks and hot pots and the cupboards had to be up to the ceiling and the lovely people at Caeserstone helped me out with a trade price. I also had to have two pantries: a pull out pantry and a slim pantry making use of what would have been dead space. Is it possible to love a pantry? Yes, it is.
Sexy isn’t she! My new LG EM780SP 
And of course my sexy oven which can clean itself and has more functions than I could possibly learn about including a super fast preheat (although it only seems to take 5 minutes to reach 180c anyway) and a digital read so that I can see exactly what temperature I’m cooking at, a Pyrolytic self cleaning function (YAY!) , 16 cooking functions (although I’ve only tested convection now), a quadruple glazed door so that it feels cool when you touch it, 6 tiers and it probably walks itself.
Yes I need 4 kitchen timers – honest! And yes my Alessi has lost its “ears” 
So tell me Dear Reader, do you have any good name suggestions for my oven? Our car is called Elphaba (from Wicked) so any other names are welcome!
And yes I need 3 sets of utensils… 1 plastic, 1 wooden and 1 Nigella 
Cameo Cinnamon Cookies
An Original Recipe by Not Quite Nigella
Makes 15 x 8cm/3inch diameter cookies
- 85 g/3ozs butter, softened
- 140g/5ozs white caster superfine sugar
- 1 egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 180g/6ozs all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- Black (or cameo blue) colouring powder
- Royal icing mixture (see below)
For Royal Icing
- 1 egg white (30grams/1 oz)
- 1-2 teaspoons lemon juice
- 150grams sifted icing sugar
DIRECTIONS
1. Make Cameo faces first. Trace an outline of a cameo silhouette on a piece of paper (google it and find one you like the look of, generally ones with more definition for the chin look best – Mr NQN thought that one of mine looked like a dog!).
2. Make Royal Icing by beating egg white with lemon juice until foamy on low speed increasing to medium speed. You want two textures for the Royal Icing, a stiff one to pipe the outline and a runnier one to fill in the outline.
3. Add sifted sugar by the spoonful while beating until desired consistency is reached. You want it a little stiff in order to pipe the outline however, if it is too stiff, add a little warm water. Always cover your Royal Icing with cling wrap as it dries out easily.
4. Spoon some of the royal icing into a piping bag or a strong ziplock bag and pipe a fine outline around the cameo outline on a piece of parchment placed above the drawing. Repeat and allow for extra as some may not turn out as well as others. Allow to set a little for 20-30 minutes. Add a little water (not too much and using a small spoon, fill in the edges. Place aside to set for several hours (or overnight). Cover remaining Royal Icing for later use.
5. Make cookies. In a large bowl, cream together butter and sugar until smooth. Beat in egg and vanilla. Stir in the flour and cinnamon. Cover, and chill dough for at least one hour (or overnight).
6. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Roll out dough on floured surface 1/4 to 1/2 inch thick. Cut into shapes with any cookie cutter. Place cookies 1 inch apart on ungreased cookie sheets. Bake for 5 to 8 minutes in preheated oven. Cool completely.
7. To decorate, tint remaining royal icing black or blue (whichever you’d prefer). Pipe an outline around the edge with the firmer royal icing and allow to set for 30 minutes (reserve the piping bag to pipe the dots on later and place it in an airtight container to avoid it setting). Add a teaspoon of boiling water to the royal icing and stir well and fill in the outline with this slightly runnier (but not runny) icing. Very carefully peel cameo silhouettes from parchment and place on top. Pipe dots with reserved piping bag of firmer royal icing.
N.B. I also tried doing this with blue chocolate melts which weren’t quite as smooth as you can see but tasted wonderful!

I can’t believe that these cookies are edible..very creative Lorraine!
The new kitchen looks so pretty good luck with it!
If you tweeted about it, now I tweet this article
Cheers!
Gera
What cute little cookies! Jewel-like!
I’d love such a big pantry!
Cheers,
Rosa
Beautiful cookies! And your kitchen looks now so nice also.As for the name,how about Tabitha?
They look delish.
A new kitchen would be equally as delish!
And how lucky are you to get a free oven! Oh my.
The piping line to keep the icing in is something we have to try as we learn how to decorate. That’s probably the key! Your kitchen looks great. How nice to be able to cook in all that new space.
I don’t know what’s prettier–your kitchen or those cookies! Congrats on the new kitch!
Thanks so much for your kind comment, Lorraine. I try to make it special for the family every Sunday. It is so fun that they all want to join together each week with all of their busy schedules so…I treat them like “guests”…which indeed they are! The table is always carefully set, candles are lit …and NO PAPER PLATES!
Hugs, Carrie
congrats on the new kitchen – looks lovely and airy – wishing you many happy hours there!
mmm i love the smell of cinnamon!
I am very jealous of your oven, mine is tiny and the temperature guage is very wrong, i cook everything on 50 degrees and it burns half the time *sigh*
glad to hear you named your car, mine is called oscar, some people find it weird when you name things like that…. but they need a name…!
ooooOooO nice new kitcken…I am a fan of your pull out pantry!
I approve of the Donna Hay cookies in your pantry too… I haven’t tried using any of her premade stuff yet.
Gorgeous cookies too!
They do remind me of the old ladies and gents signs
Congrats on your lovely new kitchen, Lorraine! And I love, LOVE, L.O.V.E. your sexy new oven! I want one. I feel like her name should be Giselle, lol. Your cameo cookies are so elegant and sound scrumptious!
Loving the oven and the pantry and everything about your new kitchen. Congratulations! I know you will be walking on cloud 9 for some time. Can’t wait to see what your new kitchen brings. And the cookies look good enough to eat and wear!
aww they look so pretty! and I love your pantry, I want something like that too!
I haz a jellus. I want a new kitchen, or at least a new oven. Interesting that you didn’t go with a gas stove, can I ask why?
And yes, it is perfectly possible to love a pantry. Lorraine, do you have the Bake Me I’m Yours cookie cookbook? I do and I could bring it next Sunday if you like. Amazing cookie decorating.
‘sigh’… I want a new and bigger kitchen… ‘sigh’
Glad you’re renovations are going so well – love the kitchen and cookies
Love the cookies- such a cute way to “christen” the kitchen. It was also very lovely of you to show us all your kitchen. I am always very nosey when it comes to looking at what fills up others pantries.
I didn’t realise those were the cookies at first, lol!
I love your new kitchen, especially the smart storage bits. I suffer from major lack of storage space in my kitchen – always a problem when I tend to buy something each time I walk into a homewares store – so I love how your kitchen has been set up.
And I think that that KitchenAid themed timer is just so cute! Where did you get it?
P.S Maybe you can name your oven Glinda
They look fab and so does your kitchen!! Oven looks very swish – I’m still jealous it’s self cleaning!!
I do believe we have the same mixing bowls too.. and I’m SURE you’ll be needing more shelf space in your condiment cupboard before we know it (Or is it just me who keeps collecting all kinds of things even though I don’t have the space?)
You are so creative! I have fun copying your great ideas. Thank you!
can i wear them..? Too nice to eat!
I love those cameo cookies, they look great! Would be excellent for a tea party. Could you tell me where you got the mixer looking timer from? I just got given a KitchenAid for my birthday and it would be cute to get a timer to match as the one on my oven doesnt work.
Thanks, Zoe
wow, great kitchen – lovely and fresh-looking. 16 cooking functions on the oven?? I didn’t know that many variations existed! Not sure of a name suitable for something so sophis. Great cookies, very grown-up looking!
Congratulations Lorraine on your new kitchen, you can now cook gleefully in your own special space. A few name suggestions for your oven Jemmima , Esmerelda or Gloria ! I totally agree on cinnamon filling the house with a lovely aroma, last night quite late at 10.00pm (as the day just flew and before I knew it was that time)I baked a crostata ( jam tart) and Cancellatta ( Italian Baked Ricotta Cheesecake ). My eldest daughter Stephanie was swooning from the aroma and had to show real restraint not to eat it straight out of the oven. We all had some for breakfast this morning with a hot cup of tea. Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
LOVE the new kitchen Lorraine!
Please tell me about your cooktop. Is it induction??
wow what a beautiful oven and i love your kitchen Lorraine i can’t wait to have one of my own that would be the sole purpose of me moving out LOLs
Congrats on your new kitchen & new oven!!!
Your brand new kitchen looks fenomenal & is cool white!
have fun in & with it!!
Your cookies look excellent to me!! a lot of work though!! Pretty too, Lorraine!
I love my pull out pantry too- just wonderful.
You have some fun ideas- thanks!
I love your pull-out pantry. I’ve already told hubby when we buy a house, I have a pre-requisite of a walk in pantry where I can have all my different shelves – baking, spices, back-up of the staple ingredients used every day, OMG I could go on.
The cookies are gorgeous!
Loving your new kitchen and how lucky to get such a great oven! Renovating is a real pain but at least you get to design your kitchen the way you want it, especially I’m sure in your household it is the most utilised room!
The cookies look so fantastic! You did such a great job with the cameo silhouettes!
Congratulations on baking in your new kitchen! Your cookies look fantastic.
How about Keziah? (or Kez for short). It’s an old Hebrew name meaning ‘sweet scented spice’, derived from the word cassia.
- It would be a continual reminder of your first ever baking experience together!
lovely new kitchen! that oven is… amazing! a digital reading alone would make me so happy, but all those other features.. wow. have fun with it!
Oh, what a gorgeous kitchen! And such pretty cookies too! Hmm..if the car is called Elphaba, surely the oven must be Glinda – always one for a dramatic entrance and positively magical in her abilities!
I can only think of naming your oven ‘The Cauldron’ but that’s not very feminine, is it?!
Wow what gorgeous little biccis!!! Love that new oven…and what a cool new kitchen you have♥x
Swoon at your new white kitchen… oh and the LG oven!!
Beautiful cookies and fabulous use of space in the new kitchen!!! Love it!
Congrats on your new Kitchen! Neat
How about Mr. T as a name for the oven? Mr. T could do anything.
also, as well as lovely cameo shapes, I can see Casper the friendly ghost and a sea lion on your cookies!
Those look pretty – and with cinnamon in the dough, they must have been heavenly!
Oh, and if your car’s Elphaba, wouldn’t Nessarose be a fitting name for your oven?
Oh Lorraine, I loved every bit of this post! Loved the beautiful cookies, LOVE your pull-out pantry (I have a tiny baby version fro my spice cupboard), love your oven…so much love going around.
I reckon your oven should be Aphrodite – the goddess of.
Aaaah I love these so much! They would be so perfect for tea and biscuits with my cameo-collecting friend.
Love your kitchen, especially your timers and the big sunny window. My kitchen sink looks out over a beautiful leafy park in the east and it makes washing up so much more fun!
Your kitchen is a dream! Love the pull-out pantry, and the spanking cool oven
Beautiful cookies to boot!
Don’t think I ever saw anything so unique and pretty. I could not eat them with all my heart. Gorgeous kitchen;-)
I think really you’d have no choice but to name your oven Glinda. Love the cookies, the kitchen and I have a huge case of pantry envy. sigh
Isn’t the smell of cinnamon baking in the oven the worst? Drives me nuts.
Great looking kitchen! The oven sounds fantastic. Hope I can get a nice one like yours after I graduate!
As always, your creations look delightful and I can only imagine how good they tasted from reading the ingredients!
I want that pull out pantry!!
A pantry is a girls best friend! We have recently renovated and converted a small room into a walk in pantry – it is 3m long and 2m wide and has a very long bench. I can keep all my electrical appliances in one section, food in the other three bits, and even built in wine storage. There are 6 powerpoints, including one exclusively for the dust buster. I put a magnetic board in it too so we don’t have to deface the new stainless steel fridge with school notices etc. My kitchen now always looks neat and I use the pantry for food prep. Got to love it when you can renovate to what you want!!
Wow these are such pretty cookies! Congrats on the new oven and kitchen. I looked forward to seeing what wonderful creations you come up with nest!
These are so gorgeous Lorraine! I adore cameos, they are so whimsical. I had an absolute fetish for them in my teens and racked up quite a collection (but never an edible one!)
Hi, Lorraine your new kitchen looks really neat and nice..I love your new oven, pantry..everything! you did a really great job on the cookies too, they’re pretty!
Adorable cameo cookies!! And oh my goodness, FANTASTIC KITCHEN GOODIES! I want that oven, and that clean-line look! My roommate and I are quite different in our styles of decorating, so we settled somewhere in between — not clean/fresh colored enough for me. Hope you’re enjoying it!
So pretty! Both the cookies and the kitchen are stunning =D.
Thanks for the peek into your kitchen, and I can just imagine it fragranced with cinnamon cookies!
You should name your oven Louella. The name reminds me of a country lady in a floral pinafore apron, with a smudge of flour on her nose.
Your kitchen looks great – especially your fancy high-tech oven! It even looks like it has a face – the knobs for eyes and the oven door handle for the smile hehe. I love how your utensils are separated in different tins according
Hey Lorraine! So happy that my suggestion helped! I L-O-V-E ur oven! I’m moving soon n my new kitchen is ready n it’s very similar to urs! We got a slim pantry next to the entrance using up dead space too!! Weird coincidence!
That kitchenAid timer is cute! Tk care!
- Fuchsia_D
that is my dream kitchen. One day, some day!!
And boy, you could have fooled me with those cookies, because I totally thought they were jewels at first!
Love the cookies. You could have made them for my wedding – you’ll see what I mean shortly!
So glad the oven worked a treat. And a spanking new kitchen, too? I have those pull out pantry shelves, too. They are fantastic for fitting everything in!
Hehe, hubby also constantly thinks that he need ‘just one more utensil’
I got inspired by the Pyrolytic function of your oven, so I suggest calling it ‘Pyrus’.
And I love both your new pantries – ‘reachability’ is key!
Congratulations on the kitchen. So much fun to have a new toy isn’t it…well, in your case, new toys! I love those pharmacy cupboards and it was something I insisted on when we redid our kitchen. It’s so easy to find things. Am veeeery jealous of the new pantry. So much space to keep things hidden. A name for your new oven…methinks Emma is nice. It must be the cameos that make me go with a Jane Austen flavour, Emmaline or Esmaralda. Enjoy your new work and play space!
I love that I am not the only person who has more than one of the same utensil (I have 6 whisks!)I am however, very jealous of your pantry as I lost about 9inches from mine as per the showhouse as my oven and range is 4ft wide.
I call my Fisher&Paykel 1200range “The Mothership”
I love her.
Happy cooking!
You’re the coolest cat I know, Lorraine, and your kitchen is even cooler! I’m putting on my dancing shoes in honour of your new kitchen and spiffy new oven!
Oh, and the name? What about Nigella’s daughter, Mimi?
Cookies look awesome! In our house that we renovated and sold we chose a pull out pantry too to save space! Loved it, though I wish I had had an extra pantry too like you for the small stuff! We also did it white and with white speckeled ceasar stone. Too bad I live in a rental now laminate everything and a Chef oven
. Oh well! Here’s to your new kitchen! Enjoy! For some reason the name ‘Ophelia the Oven’ came to me, it means ‘help’ and I guess an oven is a help!
I was going to suggest you name the oven the Wizard – seeing how both are full of hot air but forgot your oven is a She. Maybe Princess Fiona? I remember when we got our new oven installed after not having one for 10 years, we didn’t stop using it everyday for about the first 3 months!
Firstly beautiful cookies will add these to the ever expanding list of things I have to make that I read about in your blog!!
Secondly congratulations on your new kitchen – always a joy when it all comes together. For the OCD pantry organiser that I am can I suggest you look at the Tupperware modular mates (No I don’t sell it nor have I ever) but I started to buy these sets when I first got married (12 years ago) I have all my ingredients in different containers and labeled, no boxes or packages. You end up having soooo much more room!!
Thirdly – how about AVA, in honour of Ava Gardner, easily one of the most beautiful women in the world and she was very sexy and supremely cool just like your oven!! Lol…. Happy baking Lorraine and thanks again…
Those are cookies?! How awesome
Food you can actually eat! They are absolutely beautiful and oh-so-chic! Brava! I look at your perfect kitchen and I am green with envy!!! ;P Congats!
So pretty….
i’m impressed (lovely detail work—i’ve never owned a cameo, but i immediately knew what you intended to depict) and pleased (hello, cinnamon!!). tis a good day.
At first when i saw those cookies i really thought they were real cameos. My goodness you are so talented! Your kitchen is looking awesome. By the way we seem to have the same hob top
.
Have a lovely weekend. HH
I’ve just been through a kitchen rennovation and yes its possible to love a pantry. I have a pull out and 2 slimline cupboards – one for spices and one for spinkles! They make be stupidly happy. I’m baking cinnamon cookies this weekend too!
oh and if my kitchen was allowed to have a name, she’d be Delores.
Love your new oven. I’m thinking of getting some new ovens. How are the buttons on the oven? I’ve seen some touch-screen control panel as well. What would you recommend?
Love the pantries, they rock! (haha, I accidentally typed “love the panties” and then luckily realised my mistake).
My name suggestion is Gabija, the Lithuanian Goddess of Fire and the hearth in homes, and apparently it also means “careful, dilligent and skilled”
WoW! Those cookies look great!…thanks for all the tips! and hearty congratulations for the new kitchen and that sexy oven. Ah! Now it’s time for me to start dreaming. I’d just call her SEXY
Your new kitchen look great! And the cookies are so neat, love those!
I have consulted with your twin sister, Jennifer, and we feel that the new oven should be named………….Winky! With Winky’s help you could definitely create magic in that beautiful new kitchen! The cookies are lovely!
xoxo
Mum
I love the cookies! They’re so cute! I wish I had a well-stocked kitchen – foodwise and utensils wise!
Beautiful pieces of art. Like you, I am waiting for my kitchen to be ready too! No kitchen to use for the next few weeks. Feel so naked!
Fabulous biscuits, fabulous kitchen
) I remodelled my kitchen 2 years ago & I’m still loving it!
those cookies look so beautifully realistic…what a good job u did..n creative too! Lovely post
)
wow what a introduction for your oven to your cooking! these cameos are so sweet – if you can do these in your new kitchen anything is possible, it looks great (although your stove looks electric and I am a gas girl through and through) – I love your oven timers – made me want to go out and buy a new one. Now I just need to smell that cinnamon aroma…
Hurray for your new kitchen! Your pantry looks like Nigella Lawson’s where she takes her crew and does her signature “Hmm ugh, I love the smell of this wonderful spice” lol
those cookies are looking very beautiful, too pretty to eat!
Happy new kitchen! I love your slim pantry, a very good idea I might just copy for our new kitchen.
And I love that you name your things, I do too. How about naming the oven Brigid, goddess of fire, craftmanship and the home and hearth? 
What a nice new kitchen! I love the white – but no gas?? The Caesarstone is great too – I think that’s what we’ve got at the new place.
Hmmm – what to call the oven….What about Dorothy? Since you’ve got the Wizard of OZ thing going….or something from the much darker Return to Oz (love that movie, have you seen it?)
Brilliant cookies Lorraine. Very kitsch and creative. Congrats on the new kitchen.
Lovely kitchen! I’m sure you’re going to have a lot of fun cooking there
I am so jealous with all the space that you have in your kitchen! The pantries (pull out and slim) are to die for and the counter top etc. I have the exact chef timer with yours. hehe. I have three timers already in my tiny Japanese kitchen, I’m catching up with you! Now about the oven, how about calling it Julia, from Julia Child.
I’m glad you found some inspiration on my site! Cinnamon cookies sound wonderful!
Hooray for the new kitchen! Those cookies look too good to eat!

Hi NQN,
I am interested in your experience with your LG oven, having had time to test it out. I need to replace my oven, and LG is one of the models being considered. Unfortunately, I am restricted to looking at only freestanding cookers. There are not many reviews of LG ovens, and I am wondering if this is because they perform pretty well, or simply because they are not the most popular ovens, as LG are not oven specialists.
Keep up the posts, which I am immensely enjoying!
Thanks.
Kind Rgds,

If I were you, I would name my new oven Bunce, or Bruce or Schmick .. it a sturdy robot that takes complete care of itself and you too.
I think I would go with Schmick as it’s schmicko.
