Happy Birthday

Here are some birthday cookies for a dear famiy friend, a.k.a. "Captain"!

Thank you hearts

What better way to say thank you than with a box of cookies? These might be some of my all time favorites, and I have a feeling I'll be making more in the future.

 

The Music Man

I made these for my not-so-little little brother who is away at college studying music at SUNY Fredonia. This officially marks his first time living away from home, the 8th of 10 kids to leave the nest. I wanted to send him a care package of cookies carefully personalized for him with his name as well as some, ahem, affectionate nicknames. :)

Hope you enjoy these, Francis! Love you, Farmboy!

Zoo animals

A dear friend of mine ordered some zoo animals for her son Matthew's first birthday party. I added a few birthday cupcakes with the number "1" to tie in the birthday theme. :) I also included a cookie for the birthday boy as well as one for his big brother Joseph, who are two of the sweetest boys around. I hope they both enjoy the cookies and have fun celebrating Matthew's first year!

 

 Happy birthday Matthew!

Happy Birthday

Here is something a little different, a box of "Happy Birthday!" cookies for a gentlemen turning 66 years old. His birthday celebrations involved a trip to San Francisco and the Napa Valley so I tried to make this a theme for the cookies. 

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. :)
