Father's Day baby cookies

These were ordered by a sweet lady for her husband's very first Father's Day. It was my first time doing baby themed cookies in gender neutral colors, since at the time I was decorating, baby had not been born yet (although he was due any day). Now that the baby has arrived I've learned that he is a boy, and a very cute one at that. Congrats Lillian and Dan and I hope you (and baby Xavier) enjoy the cookies!

Baby!

Another order (also for my sister) for thank you cookies for her midwife and doula, Parveen and Amy. My sister has delivered her last 3 babies at home and the last birth was the best yet, thanks to Parveen and Amy who are an awesome team. I really enjoyed making these cookies because 1. I'm obsessed with all things baby right now (nesting, maybe??) and 2. it's always especially fun to make cookies for people that I know personally, because I can try to add a touch of their personality in the cookies.

Onesies are so much fun because the possibilities are endless. Here are some floral prints:

And here are some whimsical ones. Which one do you like best?

And I'll admit, I went a little crazy with the pictures this order!:

I just loved these so much I almost didn't want to part with them!

 Amy and Parveen I hope you enjoy your cookies!

Thank you teacher!

My sister ordered these to give to her daughter's teachers as an end of the school year "thank you" gift. I had fun doing something new, and using my cookie cutters creatively to make the rectangles and pencil shapes. :)

 Because each teacher was being given 6 cookies, and I don't have any bakery boxes small enough for that number, I put them in blue lunch bags. I thought that, for a school teacher gift, they looked very fitting. :)

Coach handbags

These were for a lovely customer who wanted  to surprise her friend Marybeth on her birthday with a dozen purse cookies. I went with pink and soft brown, as well as some Coach symbols to add a little sophistication. What do you think?

 I used square cookies for the "word" cookies instead of the usual round ones, because I thought it coordinated well with the rectangular purses.

Happy Anniversary!

I made some cookies for a dear friend of mine for her 2nd wedding anniversary. It was a beautiful wedding and I was honored to be one of her bridesmaids, and I can't help but think that she is one of the most beautiful brides ever, don't you agree?:

Inspired by the loveliness of my friend Liesl (and with a little help from looking through her wedding pictures on my computer), I came up with these cookies:

 The blue and yellow color scheme, as well as the soft blue hydrangea flowers in the bouquets, were the details I tried to capture in cookie form. :) 

 I did LOVE Liesl's selection of deep royal blue for her bridesmaids' dresses (it's my favorite color!):

Just a few more of the cakes, which I think turned out lovely:

Happy anniversary to a beautiful couple!

Wedding cookies

These were made for a sweet Mother of the Bride who's son is getting married this weekend. They were ordered to be used as place settings for the rehearsal dinner, and I tried my best to replicate the actual wedding and bridesmaid dresses as well as the groom's dress blues and the groomsmen's tuxedos.

 I was up late making the cookies and so there was no natural lighting for the cookie photo shoot. You'll have to excuse the flash!

 We thought it would be fun to have the parents of the bride and groom have specialized cookies as well:

 For the rest of the family and friends at the rehearsal dinner, I chose wedding cakes because who doesn't love cake?

Here is a picture of some extra/bonus cookies in the sunlight today. I thought I'd use up the leftover icing and backup cookies to play around a little bit. 

I hope everyone enjoys their place setting!
