Fertility Doctor Cookies

I love some of the requests that I get for custom cookies.  When a customer wanted to send a thank you gift to her fertility doctor, I just had to say yes.

I mean, it's not every day that you get to make sperm and egg cookies!

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 :)

Realistic Science cookies

I've done some cutesy science cookies in the past, but being a scientist doesn't usually involve very many test tubes and beakers.  Since I was a scientist in my former life, I get a kick out of merging cookies and real-life science :)  Here are a few of my recent attempts!

These were a Christmas gift for a biotech group that included some of the equipment that they use: tanks, chromatography columns, bioreactors.  I also created some HPLC and cell viability curves and some schematics of the molecule that they work on :)

These cookies were actually a gift for my husband's team who work on the Gardasil vaccine.  The silly little men are actually cartoon versions of the HPV molecules that the vaccine targets (which just goes to show that I can turn anything into a cookie, LOL!).  The other cookies are filters and other products that they use in the process to make the vaccine.

And finally, a gift box for a scientist that included more chromatograms and a Soxhlet extractor that he uses in his lab!

Football Season!

Are you ready for some football?!

Football season is here, so it's about time I shared some of the football cookies that I made last year :)

Cookies are great for tailgates!  These were for a Penn State vs Maryland game:

And these were for an Army vs Navy game (obviously for Army fans!):

Cookies also make great gifts for football fans!  These are my personal faves (since I'm from Philly and all):

Go birds!

Travel-Themed Gift

I recently received a request for a custom thank you gift for a travel agent.  The agent helped my customer plan a trip to the Grand Canyon and she wanted to send a thank gift for planning their fabulous vacation.

There were a lots of "firsts" for me in this package.  Believe it or not, it's the first time I've actually used my airplane cutter.  Also the first time I've done a globe, stacked suitcases, US Passports, and a hand-cut United States cookie!

Here they are all boxed up for shipment.  They're also available for sale on my Etsy page!
