Summer is over...Back to School!

 As I'm trying to go back and post pictures of past cookies that I have done, I found that these would be perfect today.  As all of the kids go back to school, you can't forget the teachers!  As a former teacher myself, I would have loved to have a personalized present like this.  This was actually made for an end of the year present idea for a teacher but this would be great for any time of year - beginning of the school year, teacher appreciation, end of the year, or heck, anytime in between!

This was made for the teacher with a personalized drinking glass with her name on it and cookie pops coming out of it.  And below is a more up close picture of the cookie pops themselves.

The next pictures were cookies that were made for the assistant teacher.  I used the same design as the teacher present but didn't make these cookie pops.  I packaged them in a box with a "Thank You Teacher" tag and matching ribbon.  There were 8 cookies in the box (even though only 4 are shown).

Connor's Spiderman Party!

If there's one kid that loves his superheroes, its Connor!  This weekend he celebrated his 5th birthday with an awesome Spiderman theme.  I know he had a great time bouncing around with his friends at Extreme Play.  Here are the Spiderman cookies that he gave as favors to his friends!  Happy Birthday Connor!!!

Little Ladybug Maiya turns 2!

Over the last 8 months, I've gotten to see little Maiya grow.  She has really grown up a lot in this time.  Especially lately, she has really started to get taller and start looking more like a little girl (rather than having the little baby face).  We were able to celebrate her birthday with her this past weekend and her mommy did a fabulous job on all of the food and decorations - from creating our own bugs with craft supplies to the red candy covered pretzels with black sprinkles (along with all of the yummy red food).  I was asked to do cookies and cupcakes for the party and here they are along with a picture of precious Maiya blowing out the candles!

Ava turns 6!

Right down the street lives sweet little Ava.  It's hard to believe that she is already a year older.  I had the pleasure of doing cookies for her birthday last year, so it's just hard to believe that it's ALREADY been a year!  Since this blog wasn't around then, I'll add last year's and this year's pictures.  

Last year, she was big into My Little Ponies (I used to LOVE these when I was her age too!).  So last year, she had rainbow cookies. 

Well, this year, we stuck with her favorite colors, pink and purple!  I mean what little girl doesn't like their pinks and purples???  And this year, they ordered the cookie pops.  I mean a cookie is great, but kids LOVE the cookies on a stick!    

 HAPPY BIRTHDAY AVA!!!  

Minnie & Mickey Cookie Pops!

I was asked to do cookies for a super special little girl's 4th birthday.  And what better cookies to have than Mickey and Minnie cookie pops?!  All of the Minnie's had a red bow made from fondant and were all tied with red polka dot ribbon.  The best part of doing cookies is when the birthday girl (or boy) sees the cookies and their little faces light up!  I was so happy to be able to meet the special little birthday girl!
