The doctor theme continues! These medical / golf-themed cookies were made as a gift for a doctor's retirement.
I don't actually have many doctor or golf cookie cutters, so I had to get a little bit creative for this package. It seems like there's a cookie cutter for everything these days, but it's also important to remember that lots of cutters can be improvised to work for other things. That way, when you get a last minute order you don't need to worry about rush ordering cookie cutters! Here's what I used to make these doctor cookies:
I was lucky that I had a fire truck cutter, so it was pretty obvious how to turn this into an ambulance - just cut off the ladder! The doctor coat was also easily modified from a onesie cutter. And the bandaid was actually a flower that I cut the sides off of.
I made some similar modifications to create these golf cookies:
I'm sure you can tell how the golf shirts were made - that onesie cutter comes in handy! The golf bag was a baseball hat turned on it's side and the flip flop cutter made a perfect golf green. The clubs were made by slightly modifying a candy cane cookie cutter.
So next time you want to try something new, put away your credit card and go digging through your cookie cutter collection! You might be surprised what you find there (or at least I usually am)!

New Doctor Cookies
I made these cookies recently for a new doctor who just started his residency in the ER. He's also an avid fisherman, so the request was for a combined package of medical and fishing-themed cookies. I pretty much had free reign to design any cookies that I wanted, so they were a lot of fun to make!
Best of luck in your residency Sammy!

Happy 4th of July!
Happy 4th of July everyone! I was a little short on time and ideas this year for Independence Day, so I decided to make these flag cookies that I saw on Sweet SugarBelle's blog. She has a great tutorial that I followed pretty much exactly. They were fun and simple, just like she advertised, and they were a fun project for my Mom and I this weekend!
I hope everyone enjoys spending time with their family and friends this Independence Day!

Tooth Cookies!
How nice is the Mom who ordered these cookies!? Two of her sons just had their braces removed, so she wanted to thank the orthodontist for "straightening out" her boys :)
Each tooth got a different color rubber band and the "braces" were painted with silver luster dust to make them look metallic. I remember having braces, and choosing your rubber band colors was always a big decision. Of course, I was a child of the 90's, so I'm pretty sure I usually had some sort of horrible neon combination :)
The cookies were packaged up with matching ribbons and shipped off to the doctor's office. Hopefully the orthodontist and her staff enjoyed them!

Animal-themed baby shower
Recently, I helped host a baby shower for a good friend from work. Her nursery is decorated in a super cute jungle theme, so we did a jungle themed invitation as well. To stick with the theme, I made some mini animal cookies and some chocolate sandwich cookies for dessert.
These little guys remind me of animal crackers:
And here's a shot of the combined cookie platter:

These chocolate sandwich cookies are one of my favorite varieties. Way better than the well-known store-bought variety!
