Wedding

Going to the chapel and she's gonna get married! 

These were made for a lovely bride to be. Always fun to make cookies for such a wonderful occasion.

I haven't seen the brides wedding ring but I hope it's as big as my cookies, don't you? 

I found a design for these wedding cakes on Etsy here.

The flower bouquets are something I found last year on one of my favorite websites, The Sweet Adventures of Sugarbelle. You can find a wonderful tutorial here. She makes it so easy to try and recreate some of her fabulous cookie designs. She is always an inspiration to me!

For my tuxedo cookies I used a birthday present cookie cutter! Borrowing the idea I found on Ali Bee's Bake Shop. Isn't that clever? Cookie Crazie gave me the idea to use a heart cutter for the bodice of a wedding dress! Another fun idea that I found here.

 Happy  Baking!

Christmas Pops

Trevor holiday party is this week! A school singing program followed by a party with lots of treats and fun things to do. Nothing could be more fun! I made these lollipop cookies so the kids could take them home as a party favor.

I found the star and heart cookie cutter ideas from Mel's Cakewalk Blog here.


Cookie Crazie also has used the star cookie cutter for the holidays! I loved her idea for these snowmen.


Thanks again to Cookie Crazie for this idea.
I hope you can tell these are penguins!
Using Sweetopia's cute snowman, I changed her design up a bit from what I saw on her website.
Happy Baking!

Turkeys, Turkeys, Everywhere

I have been doing lots of Thanksgiving cookies! Just haven't shown anyone yet! I've seen so many cute ideas lately that I've had to try so many...I couldn't hold out anymore and NOT share them, so here are my turkey's so far...I've done several different styles!! Which one do you like best?I did a lot with the same colors only using different shapes. Loved Cookie Crazie's idea here. Using half of a daisy cookie cutter.... A 3-D turkey cookie from Bee in our Bonnet website here. Using a circle cookie cutter and then heart cutters for the feathers. Another Cookie Crazie idea.....here...I tried using the black outline and then the colored outline. I think I like the black because they stand out more. Traditional turkeys made the the actual turkey cookie cutter. My freehand drawing idea compliments of The Decorated Cookie, found here. This turned out much better than I thought it would! And using Bake at 35o's idea...2 different cookie cutter with the tutorial here. So now you can see I've had so many ideas come across my path for turkeys that I just want to try them all!! HAPPY BAKING

A Bit of Gold along with some Spring-pillars

I look at some many cool cookie blogs each week - get their updates automatcallly just like you might get mine. I never read many blogs before I started baking cookies and it's so fun to see what the real "experts" are up to and try to copy/borrow ideas from them!

I was once again inspired by some favorite blogs of mine to branch out and try new things! I wish I had such great ideas like so many people come up with!

I also tried a new chocolate cookie recipe so we'll see what the testers think how they turned out this week. I wanted more of a chocolate taste unlike last time. I like strong flavors and not just a hint.

I need to thank Cookie Crazie for this idea below. She calls them her Spring-pillars. When I saw them I thought they were so cute and just had to try them. They were really fun to make. I just cut out several circles and "smooshed" them together. For the head with antennas I actually used a bunny head and reshaped the ears. I thought they turned out pretty good!


Here was another out of the box idea I saw this week and I jumped on trying it because it looked so fun! This cookie was made with 3 different cookie cutters put together. A big circle, a small circle and a small flower. Cut them all out and "smooshed" them together to get the rainbow and pot of gold below. Pretty cool, huh?




Here's the finished product! This was inspired by The Sweet Adventures of SugarBelle. Everyone can use a pot of gold at the end of the rainbow, right?



I really liked the gold sprinkles I found that look like gold. Think I found the right touch for these!

Just a few more to finish up for St. Pat's Day! I'm hoping to find my pot of gold some day!

Last Valentine's cookies And a Fun use of a Heart Cookie Cutter

Always what to do with some extra cookie dough!! Here are some chocolate stars....my first time making chocolate cookies so hope they taste okay!





Someone showed me this idea...I've forgotten the website right now and have to know for next time that when publishing to a blog I need to give credit where credit deserved....made these out of a heart cookie cutter. R rated - we have lingerie - G rated we have swimsuit tops!



And here we have some R rated thongs and and panties; G rated we have some swimsuit bottoms. I thought these cookies would be perfect for a bachelor/bachelorette party.














The last of my Valentine's cookies. I was inspired by one of my favorite blogs - Cookie Crazie. These are 2 cookies put together. 2 hearts and a square cookie cutter. You can find the original idea here http://cookiecrazie.blogspot.com/2011/01/creating-unique-love-cookie.html.




Now I'm on to a few other things and putting Valentine's cookies behind me for the year. I will be making cupcakes for Trevor's school this weekend though!
