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!

pretty baptism cookies

Changing it up from the last few posts to show you these sweet baptism cookies.  The pale pink, green and white color scheme was so pretty for these cookies.  I wish that I took more pictures!  I think that the monogrammed "E" with a subtle floral background was my favorite.

Surfboards and Hibiscus Flowers

I made these cookies so long ago that I don't even remember what they were for.  I'm pretty sure it was to celebrate a new addition to the family.

I guess I was just waiting for summer to roll around again before I shared them :)

P.S. Don't these kids have such cool names?  You can totally tell that they have a hot mama and a cool dad :)

Spring Cleaning

I'm doing some "spring cleaning" this week and found lots of cookies that I never blogged.  So here's a mish-mosh of what I've been doing over the past several months!

These were some updated Facebook cookies to celebrate a big milestone for a popular restaurant chain:

Birthday cookies for Nurse Suzanne:

A new Mother's Day package (I loved this plaque design!):

A "thank you" cookie package that will hopefully make it onto the website soon:

More thank you cookies inspired by Cookies with Character:

And finally, cookies for a high school graduate who's going to be a freshman at Temple University next year:

Brush Embroidery Shower Favors

As you might imagine, I'm typically responsible for providing the favors for any parties that my family hosts these days!  So, these were the cookies that I made for a bridal shower that my Mom hosted a few weeks ago:

I included the bride's first initial "N" in Edwardian Script (using my KopyKake projector ) accented with a brush embroidered flower in her wedding colors.  Don't worry if you don't have a projector, you can get the same result by tracing the letters and make royal icing transfers.

I've gotten so much inspiration from Ali Bee lately, first with these ruffle cookies, and now with brush embroidery!  I've been wanting to try this technique for a while and thought this would be the perfect opportunity.

Overall I thought it was fun to do and I was happy with my first attempt.  I can't wait to get more practice this weekend at Spring Fling with the master herself!!
