Rainbow Pinwheel Cookies

These are not quite the perfect look that I was after but they have gone down so well with the kids. It was definitely time to put the Baker perfection in me aside - we had such great fun assembling these cookies that I decided to show them ...

Lime Charlotte Cake Above View
