Pearls, Lace and Ruffles

Today I'm sharing one of my favoritest orders ever.  I mean, how gorgeous is this first birthday theme!?

Little Arielle turned one, and her Mom had the most swoon-worthy birthday party that was filled with ruffles, lace and pearls.

So gorgeous and girly!

I just love these ruffly little onesies :)

I've made buttercream roses on cupcakes before, but never on cookies with royal icing.  I love them!  The gold painted edges really made these pop.

And here are a couple of pics from the party!  I love when my clients share pictures :)

That paper flower wall by Designs by Oochay makes my heart so happy :)

Happy birthday Arielle!  You are one lucky little lady!

90th birthday cookies

Seeing as how my grandmom is almost 91 years young, I think it's about time that I shared her 90th birthday cookies!  My "Mom-Mom" wears a lot of different hats and means so much to so many people.  I wanted to capture her many names on her cookies!



I had fun recreating these poppy cookies for her from the party supplies :)



Happy (almost 91st) birthday Mom-Mom. I love you!

1st Birthday Pow Wow Party

I seriously have the best customers who send me the most adorable, creative party themes to work with.  How cute is this "pumpkin pow wow" party theme!

Roland's mom bought him this teepee from the Land of Nod, so we made matching teepee cookies for the party.

The party colors were black, white, kraft brown, orange, turquoise and gold.  The customer wanted to incorporate lots of arrows and triangles in the designs, so this is what we came up with!  I think the "ONE" cookies were my favorite, and I just love the pops of color and shine.

Roland's mom was also kind enough to send some pictures from the party.  How adorable is this table?!

Happy first birthday Roland!  I'm looking forward to making lots more birthday cookies for you over the years!

Gymnast Cookies

Just a quick one today to show you these super cute gymnast cookies that I made earlier this year!

Love all these adorable little gymnasts!

I Love the 80s

When I got a request for 80's cookies right before I closed for maternity leave, how could I say no?!

I'm a child of the 80's and definitely loved rocking the mix tapes on my boombox :)  I was never allowed to watch MTV when I was little, which of course meant that I watched as much as possible every time I was at a friend's house ;)

I also REALLY loved my Nintendo.  The old school one, no Super Nintendo over here.  Mario and Tetris were two of my faves, along with Mega Man.  Remember him?!  No cookies of him this time, but there were some Donkey Kong and Zelda in this 30th birthday package :)

Kids' character cookies

I have been such a terrible blogger lately!  There are so many cookies that I have to share with you from the past year.  I'm trying to get better though, I promise.

The benefit of neglecting my blog saving up pictures for a long time is that I have a lot of cookies to share for each post.  Yesterday's theme was football; today it's character cookies!

These cute little football-shaped Dora faces were thanks to Sweet Sugarbelle's awesome Dora tutorial.  Character cookies can be very daunting, so thank goodness for Callye.  She is the best!

I made these Thomas the Tank cookies last year for my son, Oliver's 2nd birthday:

I kept them simple by just doing the side view without any faces.  He loved them!

These adorable personalized Curious George cookies were for one of Oliver's bestest friend's birthday party :)

These might not technically be characters, but close enough ;)  I loved how graphic these Monster High party favors were!

Superheroes are definitely one of the most popular cookie requests that I get.  Hulk was a new one for me in this set:

And of course there's Olaf.

Because who doesn't love this happy little snowman?

And just in case you need a few snowflakes for your Frozen party:

Disney Princess Tea Party!

For her princess tea party, the birthday girl requested tea pots and cups, princess dresses, and Frozen snowflakes.  She specifically wanted:  purple for Sophia, blue for Elsa, green/blue for Ariel, yellow for Belle, pink for Aurora, and Snow White.  So, here they are!

 I couldn't make Disney princess cookies without including Cinderella, so I threw one of those in too :)  

Love that shine on Elsa's dress!  

Happy 6th birthday, Quynh-Chi!  I hope you had a great day!

Sesame Street Cookies Part 2

Yay!  I got to make more Sesame Street Cookies!

This time it was Cookie Monster, Big Bird, Grover, Zoe, Abby, and Elmo for a 2 year old birthday party.  To see the other Sesame street cookies check out this post.

The newer characters like Zoe and Abby (oh Abby) are so much more complicated than the older ones.  I'm blaming computers for that one.

I attempted to capture Abby's crazy hair by swirling pink and purple icing, letting it dry, and then piping purple on top for texture.  Top that off with some yellow flower barrettes and she was finished.  I think she turned out OK.  I'll still do 100 Cookie Monsters over Abby Cadabby though!

I was way more happy with my Sesame Street sign this time.

I used slightly thicker icing along with my dehydrator, so no annoying icing cave ins.  It ALWAYS makes my day when I come down in the morning and find out my icing didn't crater :)

Science Cookies

How fun are these colors for a science-themed 7th birthday party?!  I loved the atoms, test tubes and flasks that the birthday girl requested.

I also recently created these science-themed cookies for a PhD graduation party.  More test tubes and flasks, as well as beakers.  The customer also requested some periodic table elements, which I LOVED!

Here's a few of the elements, in (very) loose periodic table order:

As a former scientist, I always get a kick out of making science cookies :)

Caps for CAP

I made these police cap and captains hat cookies a while back for a fella named Cap :)

I'm pretty sure it was his birthday, but really I don't even remember anymore.

I DO remember those teeny little logos though!  That was a challenge to capture the Montgomery Co Police logo on a tiny little hat :)

Little Girls' Birthday Party Favors

Here's a quick round up of a few birthday party favors that I've done recently:

Frozen cookies for a combined first and eighth birthday party.

Princess tiara favors for a fourth birthday.



Party favors for a fifth birthday party.  The customer requested white ponies, hot pink, and zebra print.

Happy birthday to Janelle, Gabrielle, Emory, and Aniya!

Bird-Themed First Birthday

I was going through old cookie pictures and found this one in the archives.  I loved these little bird cookies!

Fiona's Mom sent me this picture of the favor tags and wanted similar cookies to match:

I love having adorable inspiration to work with!

Sesame Street Cookies

When a friend asked me to make Sesame Street cookies for her daughter, Walker's, first birthday party, I was thrilled!

Character cookies can be a little bit scary, but once I got started I knew these guys were going to be a lot of fun.  I love how they turned out!

And of course, the birthday girl needed a cookie of her own - "Walker Street"!

I love when I actually get to attend the party with my cookies, and I'm happy to report that the kiddos went nuts over these cookies!  It was so much fun to see them enjoy their special treats.

Thanks for letting me be a part of Walker's big day, Allison!
