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!

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!

Tea Party Bridal Shower

These cookie favors were made for a tea party themed bridal shower.  The tea pot cookies were modeled after the invitation.

I loved the peach, mint green and light pink color scheme for this shower.

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!

Bunco!

Since it's Friday, and I'm off to play Bunco tonight, I thought it would be appropriate to share these Bunco cookies!  

These are big ole' 3 inch square dice cookies that I made for a Bunco-themed bridal shower.  If you're not familiar with Bunco, it's a super fun, no skill required dice game that (along with some wine) makes a really fun neighborhood get together :)

Happy Friday everyone!

Cute Girls' Birthday Party Favors

As a cookie decorator, I get requests for party favors for just about every theme under the sun.  These were two adorable themes for girls' birthday parties that I did a few months back and I just had to share them!




The zebra print cookies were created for a 60s themed birthday party at the "Groove Lounge".  The party location is covered in animal print, so we went zebra all the way :)




The peace sign cookies were given to each guest as a party favor and the large happy birthday cookie was used as a cake topper.  I love the hot pink accents!

The idea for this little girl's birthday party was based on her favorite Nick Jr show - The Fresh Beat Band.  We decided to do a party favor that looked like a "VIP access" pass and used the color scheme from the show.  I loved how fun and bright they were.

All of the party favors were packaged up and tied with matching ribbons.  The zebra print peace signs were accented with a cute hot pink ribbon.  What kid wouldn't love to take one of these home from a party?!

Barbie and Ken Silhouettes

It's no secret that I LOVE working with bright colors, so these cookies were no exception!  My Americolor electric color gels definitely get the most use of all of my food coloring gels.

I'm still digging through the archives and found the pictures of these cookies.  They were a last minute order for a coed Barbie and Ken themed bridal shower.  As usual, I was happy that I have a KopyKake projector so that I could complete the order quickly!

Overall I thought they were a fun idea and liked how they turned out.  I hope the bride and groom-to-be had a great time at their shower!

New Mother's Day Cookies!

Cookies are the perfect gift for Mom for Mother's Day, so if you haven't picked up a gift yet, check out our new cookie packages up on the website!


These cookies were inspired by my favorite gift to give to my Mom - coupons for chores.  I liked them because they were easy to make (though not as easy to fulfill) and free, and my Mom liked them because she actually got some help around the house!  I know this is the gift that I would want if I were a Mom :)

We also have a new Mother's Day tea set for the tea-drinker in your life.  Our sugar cookies are perfect with a cup of tea, so what could be cuter than tea-themed cookies!

Mother's Day orders need to be in by May 5th if you need your cookies shipped.  If you'd like to pick them up in Gaithersburg, MD, orders will be accepted until May 8th.


Thanks!

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!!

Princess Themed Birthday Party

Happy birthday Miley!  These cookies were ordered for a princess-themed birthday party.  The request was for pink tiaras with the birthday girl's name in silver.  I used my KopyKake projector to trace Miley's name in Chopin Script font.  I think this might be my new go to scripty font!

It's hard to tell in the picture, but I did all of the lettering and details in gray icing and then painted them with silver luster dust.  For a great tutorial on how to use luster dust, check out Bake at 350's post here.
Every time I decide to paint with luster dust, I forget how long it takes!  Oh well, I think they turned out really cute.  Hopefully the sparkle was worth the extra effort!

Girly Cookies

These cookies were ordered recently as a Thank You gift.  The customer was so sweet and wanted to make sure she included something for each member of the family.

Mom is a hobby photographer and Dad likes to go fly fishing:

And their 2 little girls love everything girly!

Hopefully the whole family enjoyed this collection of cookies!

Many thanks to Ali Bee's Bake Shop, for her great tutorial on how to make the ruffles on the princess dresses.  I love the extra dimension they add.  I see many ruffly cookies in my future :)

Surfer Girl Cookies

Last night I had a very depressing realization that it was only 7:30 pm and it was completely dark outside. Between the shorter days and the fact that it's been 45 degrees and raining here in MD is really making me miss summer.  At least I can still pretend with these fun surfer cookies...

These were made for a girl's birthday party with a surfing theme.  I thought they came out really cute and they're the perfect cure for the end of summer blues!

The color scheme for this party was super fun and it inspired me to create a couple of new summer packages on the website.  These are now available for purchase, along with the surfboards!

Mother's Day is just around the corner!  Just 2 weeks left to find your Mom/Grandmom/Wife a special gift for Mother's Day this year...
