Apples and Bees Themed Bridal Shower!!!

This happens to be one of the cutest themes for a bridal shower I've ever heard of! The bride and groom met while working at Applebee's, so the mother-in-law-to-be decided to host an "apples and bees" themed shower! It makes me smile each time I think of it...so creative! :) 

After chatting for a while over the cookies, we decided to go with just apples for the favors.  (We talked about adding a bee to each cookie, but decided against that.)  And I think they turned out just perfect, even with no bee!

These apple cookies make the perfect party favor for a bridal shower or teacher gift, whichever suits your fancy. :)

I wish I had taken photos of all the apples packaged up, but it was late at night and not very good lighting for a decent photo.

Thanks Dorinda for the order! Glad to hear the shower was a success!!!

Tangled Cookies!

I'm just going to skip right over the part about being absent for a while and head on into the cookies! ;)

This was an order for some Tangled themed cookies that I shipped out to Michigan for a very special little girl's birthday! Thanks for the order Abby!!!

Obviously, this isn't my design for Pascal.  If you are at all into cookie surfing, you probably already know it's from Callye at Sweetsugarbelle.com.  :) She is absolutely amazing and I love looking at her little works of art! :)  So, thanks to her, when my customer sent a picture of the Pascal cookie she wanted, I was able to deliver. :)

 The flower is a design I did come up with a while back for another order of Tangle themed cookies.  The swoop of golden hair just makes these little flowers so pretty and fun.  Perfect for a little girl's birthday party!

Thanks again, Abby! What a fun order and so pleased to meet you!!!

Butterfly Cookies...Dot Style

Thought I should let everyone know I'm still here. :) I have had a few weeks with no orders, but that doesn't mean I didn't have past orders still left to post. ;)

Here are some butterfly cookies I made last month.  They were ordered for a 1st baptism party.  Cute little butterflies with lots and lots of colorful dots.  So cute!!!

 I have a few cakes and few more Easter cookies to post, but will try to get to that later in the week.  And, graduation orders are about to get into full swing.  The end of school is almost here, yeah!

Easter Cookie Class!

Just wanted to share a quick post about the Easter cookie class I'm teaching at Sweet! Baking Supply in Topeka on Wednesday, March 28, at 6:30 pm.  Please contact Sweet! if you are interested! I'll be teaching basic cookie decorating techniques and you'll get to go home with a dozen cookies you've decorated!

 Here are the samples I made for the class.  You can stick with these designs or create your very own.  Don't miss out! It's going to be tons of cookie fun!!!

Hope to see you on the 28th!!!

Pink Mod Monkey Birthday Cakes!

I am so excited to get to share my latest cake with you today.  It's a Pink Mod Monkey cake for a first birthday for some very close friends.  Their little girl just turned one and her mom was using this for her theme.  I can't wait to have kids of my own so, someday, I can plan birthday parties like this! What fun!!!

We decided on a sheet cake to serve the guests and a small "smash" cake for Peyton.  I was so happy with how they both turned out, especially since I had never heard of the Mod Pod Monkey! Shhh....don't tell! I'm sure someday I'll know all the "in" characters, but until then, I leave it up to the parents to tell me what the heck all these fun creatures are!!!

So, here are the cakes!

This is the "smash" cake for Peyton to dive into at her party.  I can't wait to see pictures of her little face!

 And here is the sheet cake for the rest of the guests.  Pink and green never looked so cute!

And both cakes together! I think she's going to have a great 1st birthday!!!! 

Thanks Darren and Valerie!!!

Valentine's Day Cookies 2012 Part Two!

I mentioned yesterday that I had a few more Valentine cookies to share, so here they are!

Valentine's Day Cookies 2012

I hope you all have a wonderful Valentine's Day! My hubby asked me what I'd like and I told him I didn't need anything and didn't want him to buy me anything.  I think he was excited about this and then I asked him to help me deep-clean the house. I used the excuse that it would go so much faster with his help.
And you know what? He was happy to do it. :) What a great hubby! And honestly, he really is a good cleaner...I just need to get him to do it more often! :)

So, whether you receive roses, cookies, or a helper for a deep-clean of your house, enjoy your special day with your loved ones. 

And here are some pictures of Valentine's Day cookies I made over the weekend!

Hot pink sanding sugar and disco dust were added to these little guys!

And how fun are these?!!? Conversation heart cookies for a grade school class.

 Very simple lines, but they make the cookies so cute!

 The standard toothpick squiggle. :)

 Polka dots are simple and elegant and o so pretty!

And another version of the toothpick squiggle!

I have a few more pics to post tomorrow, so be sure to come back and check out the other decorations!

Happy Valentine's Day!
