Happy Anniversary

I had fun making wedding anniversary cookies for a wonderful couple, my brother Christian and his wife Michelle. I looked at their wedding pictures for inspiration and this is what I came up with:
 The coffee mug is a replica of their wedding favors, and the wedding cakes match their actual wedding cake, which I remember being especially tasty. :)
 I'm particularly happy with how this wedding dress cookie turned out. It looks just like Michelle's dress!


Happy anniversary you two lovebirds!

The rest of the Christmas cookies

So maybe it's a little late, but I figured I could still post these pictures of my last Christmas cookie orders of the season.






 And these were thrown in one of my orders for a cookie gift box given to diehard Notre Dame fans:

Sports and Christmas

Just a few snapshots of the latest cookie orders!:
I've been VERY busy with Christmas cookies, and I'm lovin' it! 

Ornaments seem to be a popular shape. They are really fun to make:






It certainly is the most wonderful time of the year. :)

Birthday Princess

My lovely sister placed an order for her daughter Catherine's 5th birthday party this weekend. Her theme for the party: princess and horsies, Catherine's 2 favorite things! This is what I came up with:




Party favors? Why, magic wands, of course! These were my first attempt at making "cookie pops":
 I've always been afraid of making these thinking that they would break easily and my hard work would go to waste, but they actually held up quite well! They survived the entire party and were a big hit with all the sweet little princesses who took them home. I can't wait to make more "pops".
Happy birthday Catherine!

Sweet baby girl

The following pictures are of an order from one of my best customers, in honor of a new baby born into the family. What a great reason to make yummy, adorable cookies!




I almost ran out of "It's a Girl" ribbon, but had just enough...time to go ribbon shopping!
This order marked a momentous occasion; my first time using my "official" packaging, since we finally received our printer in the mail and were able to print out my business cards, which was the missing ingredient all this time. I was very pleased with the final product:

 And let's not forget the cute little sticker on the mailing box. I think it adds a nice little touch. :)
