Thank you teachers!

The end of the school year is here for Trevor. Wow....did that go by fast or what? He has loved being in Pre-K with a wonderful teacher, Mrs. Binder. And now, drum roll please....we are going to be off to Kindergarten in the fall. I can't believe it, can you? To thank the teachers in Trevor's classroom I of course decided to make some cookies. They have 5 different teachers that all have 12 kids in their group. While Trevor only has one teacher, those other teachers have certainly spent time with him this year and gotten to know him to. So I couldn't forget them.

Strawberries to thank the teachers BERRY
much for all they have done for us this year. I'm glad I have my new cookie tips that are small so that I could make the details on my little worms on the apples! Tedious let me tell you! I got the idea for the little worm from Sweet Celebrate. My happy face apples.This idea came from one of the first blogs I even looked at Bake at 350. She is wonderful and has so many neat ideas and beautiful cookies too. My inspiration from this was my favorite baker friend, Amalia Standard. She is FABULOUS and the best decorator I know. (not to mention wonderful at everything she does - mom, friend, wife, etc). She has a great blog that you should check out. Cookie Construction. Everything she does is amazing. She recently made the cookies below and I had to try them because I thought the idea was so neat. These bees are made out of a circle and a heart cookie cutter put together. Pretty clever, right? I made a few different sizes and had fun making something outside the box! Amalia was inspired by another blog for these...Flour and Sugar Thoughts.

Have to thank our teaches a BZZZZZillion times for all the thing they do for us during the year. Teachers are so very important in this world and Trevor really had some wonderful ones! These flower pot cookies were an idea I got from The Sweet Adventures of Sugarbelle. She had another great idea. See the Frosty cookie cutter? Well, turn it upside down and it becomes a flower in a pot! How neat is that? It requires some free hand decorating which I definitely need more practice at, but these were fun to make.
I added some tiny ladybugs to the pots for fun too. Here's the whole assortment of cookies for the teachers.
Here's Trevor carrying the baskets that I put the cookies in. He was so happy to help deliver these! I found the cute little baskets at the dollar store and thought they were neat....that place has some of the best things if you ever stop in there! Thanks teachers! You've brought Trevor a long way - he can write his name, knows his alphabets, numbers, colors....that's my boy!!! And here's to a fun summer session at Brookridge Day School for him. HAPPY BAKING.
