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.

More Yo Gabba Gabba Cookies.

So I have baked lately, just not new stuff. Here's another batch of Yo Gabba Gabba cookies that I made for a birthday party a couple weeks ago. I think they look great tied up with the ribbon!

Christopher's Birthday Cupcakes

Christopher had his first real birthday party this past weekend and it was a blast! Despite my planning every last detail I was finally able to relax once the party was set up and the kids were running around. Now he doesn't watch it all that often, but we did a Sesame Street themed party, basically centered around these cupcakes. Gregory's sister, Elaine, saw a picture of them and told me I had to do a Sesame Street themed party for Christopher. So starting with the cupcakes, we centered things around bright, bold colors, the letter C and the number 3, and all the Sesame Street characters.

The invitations said "Christopher's birthday party is brought to you by the letter C and the number 3." we had his cake done by Freeport Bakery with Big Bird and Elmo racing across it, these Sesame Street cupcakes, the kids played a stick-the-nose-on-Elmo game, and the favors were those little beach buckets with Sesame Street stickers on them, Sesame Street pencils, bubbles, Elmo lollypops, C & 3 cookies and those fun little crazy straws.

I know Christopher had a lot of fun and that was the most important thing :)

A, B, C... don't you want to eat me!

Got the snack cookies done! I did letters for first names of all the kids for my son's preschool class and some extra stars for the parents. I lost my list of their names but I somehow managed to remembered them all and everyone got the right letter (whew!) except for 1 little boy who was new, but luckily he was happy with one of the extra A's. And because one of the little gir's named Cate was absent today, a new little girl named Cassie got her C!

Unfortunately, little peanut woke up sick on Wednesday so he couldn't go to preschool today. He missed all the kids enjoying the cookies as well as getting the chance to eat his own! But no worries, I set his aside and he'll get to enjoy his blue C cookie when he's feeling better. Sugar cookies with royal icing and colorful sprinkles- I just love how the sprinkles look!

Construction Truck Cookies

These cookies were from the first cookie order I ever did! They were for a friend's son's 3rd birthday party with a construction theme. I love the dirt in the dump truck and the bulldozer (or is that an excavator? I'll have to ask my 3-year-old son!). They turned out really cute and all the little boys at the party loved them. My friend's daughter even said they were the best cookies she'd ever had! I think that was the best compliment I could have gotten from the 11 year old crowd! These were simple sugar cookies with lemon royal icing.
