Mickey Mouse Clubhouse Cookies

One of my favorite kinds of cookies to decorate are character cookies, especially from kids shows. I do a lot of the Yo Gabba Gabba cookies but I got an order for Mickey Mouse Clubhouse-themed cookies so I thought it would be super cute to make "toodles" cookies. These were a lot of fun to decorate and I love it when kids recognize their favorite characters as a delicious cookie!

Summer is here!

I know that it's officially summertime when I get an order for flip flop cookies. These cookies were for a sweet little girl's 4 year old birthday party and they were so fun to make. I especially loved using bright purple icing this time! Don't these just make you want to hit the beach?

Unique Cookie Request

A week or two ago I got a really odd request from an etsy user that had a client in need of cookies. She'd seen my flip flop cookies and asked if I could make some that were feet instead of the flip flops. Yep, feet cookies. Feet cookies with MUD on them! This client of hers wanted to send them to her friend as a joke and I was happy to be the one with the business. So here are the muddy feet cookies. I just hope her friend liked them!

5 Blue Horses

My 4-year-old son is constantly telling us stories about his 5 blue horses (they can fly!) so I decided to feed his imagination (literally) and made him a blue horse cookie while I was working on some other projects. He was happily surprised, especially since he's always wanting to eat the cookies I'm working on for orders. And to say the least he loved and enjoyed it!

Tulip Flower Cookies

My family and I celebrated my grandmother's 95th birthday this last weekend. We wanted the party to have a fun, and spring-y feel so I made tulip flower cookies to use as favors and decoration. I loved that the colors turned out so bright and they looked great in their jellybean planters.

Tiara Cookies

I made these tiara cookies for a princess party for a little girl named Ella (isn't that a perfect princess name?). They were so much fun to decorate! They were so sparkly and girlie and just so cute. Check out how absolutely adorable the party was at Ella's Wardrobe and while you're there, browse around Georgina's blog- she's so creative.

Cookies from February

Here's a picture of a couple cookies from back at Valentine's Day. I think most of them disappeared before I had a chance to take a picture. Luckily my 3-year-old got the bottom one for me!

Guinness Cupcakes.

For St. Patrick's day I wanted to try a new recipe and make something at least semi-Irish. So what better than a few Guinness cupcakes! (Even though I don't even drink beer). They were pretty good, and although I could taste the Guinness in them they weren't totally overpowered with beer. It was more of a subtle flavor. Finished with a little green cream cheese frosting and coco powder.

Drum Birthday Cake

My husband's cousin asked me to make a cake for her to surprise her drummer boyfriend for his 40th birthday and I was happy to take on the task! I modeled the cake after his drums, which are sparkly white with a black drum-head. And the best part was that my husband and I also got invited to the show that he and his band were playing, so we also got to enjoy the music and eat the cake too- yum! Chocolate cake with vanilla buttercream frosting and fondant, sugar pearls and sanding sugar for decoration. Though I must say, the cake didn't look quite as nice once the knife got to it...

Ladybug Cookies

I made some ladybug cookies for a little girl's pink and orange ladybug themed birthday party. These went by mail this time and they arrived at their destination super fast (thanks usps!). I think they turned out really cute, especially once the ladybugs were wrapped up in bags with a little flower. I hope she had a very sweet and special 2nd birthday! Sugar cookies with lemon royal icing.

Valentine's Day Cookies.

I absolutely love Valentine's Day. Give me a day to celebrate with pink, hearts and glitter and I'm on board! I haven't started the cookies for this year yet, but I think they're going to be similar to the heart ones I did last year. I had so much fun just being creative and decorating all the different hearts that I can't wait for the ones this year. I also flavored them with a hint of rosewater to make them extra festive! Here's some that I made last year.

Preschool Snack Time.

I was in charge of snack at my son's preschool a few weeks ago and since the theme of the week was Firemen and Firestations and such I decided to let the kids decorate their own dalmatian muffins. I took in muffins that already had the frosting on them and the kids used chocolate chips for eyes, pink jellybeans for a nose, mini chocolate chips for dalmatian spots and Trader Joe's chocolate cat cookies as the ears. Look how cute they turned out!
