Happy Valentine's Day!

Yep, I'm THAT behind on blogging - yes, Valentine's Day was a month ago....

These cookies were ordered by Corey for her little girl Savannah's preschool class.  TOTALLY a better Valentine than getting 4 million little cards at school.  Corey is the master at finding Etsy shops that create these graphics for her for the toppers and tags for treats.  

Another order I had for Valentine's was to do just plain heart shaped cookies.  This is a great treat idea as well as craft for a class.  The cookies are plain - but you buy a tub of icing and let the kids go to town - and voila!  yummy holiday craft!  

And below is another order I did for Corey recently that had another set of super cute bag toppers on it.  They make such a great little extra personalized touch to the cookies.  

Joyeux Anniversaire!

The 30th birthday is one of those special milestones!  (I've got mine coming this year - so we'll see!)  A good friend of mine ordered these for her sister's 30th birthday.  I was given the ideas of pink and Eiffel towers - so this seemed to work just perfect!  I was so thrilled with how they turned out - and I was happy to know that the cookies were a hit at the party.  These cookies were also an order that was frozen prior to the week of the party - and were taken out, thawed, and handed out as favors.  

Happy Birthday Landon!!

Now Landon LOVES the movie Cars!  So much, that I just realized that I've done Cars cookies for him for the past 2 years.  Last year was Lightning McQueen, this year, Mater and Finn.  There were some other contenders for this years' cookies, but these were the ones that made the cut.  

One other thing that came up was that I happened to be booked already for the date that Landon's mommy needed cookies - so she took these home a week early, froze them, and took them out to thaw the night before she delivered them to Landon's preschool class.  This is another option when ordering cookies!  I've had a bunch of people order cookies to be frozen - so that the can be eaten later.  And I've gotten feedback from many people saying that they think they taste JUST as good!  

HAPPY BIRTHDAY LANDON!!

And here are last years' Lightning cookies!  

Welcome the Family Home!

As new parents (or even just adding a new baby), transitioning from being in the hospital to coming home is a tough time.  At the hospital, your food is provided, you are taken care of, your new baby is taken care of every second of the day, etc.  But when it's time to come home, you have to get used to the household stuff again.  I know that when I was in the hospital after having my babies, I came home and was VERY lucky that I had friends and family to bring me food and help take care of me and the new babies.  One thing that I received was a box of iced cookies from my Aunt Anita and Uncle Jeff.  What a marvelous thing!  You have cookies to eat, give away as a "thank you" to everyone that has come by to help or visit, and you have a nice sweet snack in the middle of the night (when you are up 20 times...).  

A friend of mine ordered these cookies as a welcome home for one of her neighbors - and it totally reminded me of those awesome cookies from my aunt and uncle as well.  What a great reason to order cookies for someone!  

Happy 5th Birthday Claire!

I was asked to do cookies for a little girl turning 5 recently - Miss Claire! (ok, so I'm behind a little on the blog - so it's been a little while).  The request was for pink, pink, and more pink!  I did cupcakes and cookies for the party, and cookies to send home with the party guests.  The cookies to be sent home were little girls in sleeping bags.  Cupcakes and cookies - super cute pink designs - picked out by Claire's mommy.  I thought they all turned out great!  

Happy 5th Birthday Claire!!

Btw - BIG thank you to Cathy Graham for taking pictures for me - since I totally forgot before I left the house!!
