Summer Fun

Here is what I've been working for a bit!
Some fun cookies for a ladies event. 7 dozen cookies!!!


Remember the book The Very Hungry Caterpillar as a child? Well, I had this funky cookie cutter that I didn't really know what to do with until my friend Amalia inspired me and used it as a caterpillar. And then I went to Grin and Bake It website and saw these cute little ones.
I thought they were fun and had great colors and would go good with this order!



Pretty Dragon flies.



Inspired a bit by the Painted Cookie. But when I make cookies I always feel like I need more to "doctor" them up so I added a few more embellishments!


Here come the ladybugs!

When making my ladybugs I found this cool design on The Cookie Jar's Website and had to try them. I thought they were fun little ladybugs running around that would be a different design and compliment them nicely. With all the details it took quite a bit more time than I thought!

Here are the 2 ladybug cookies together....
Here are some pretty pink flowers with disco dust centers.

Tried out my potted flowers again this week - made from the upside down Frosty cookie cutter. And this time I think my lady bugs on the side turned out much better. I made them differently than before -thus perfecting them a bit more! This idea came from The Sweet Adventures of Sugarbelle.

Hope the ladies enjoy the cookies!!!

Here go the Butterlies and Dragonflies!

More Spring Butterflies and Dragonflies off to a bridal shower this week! It's been a crazy week with all that I've been done!






I was in one of my favorite stores this week and decided to take a picture....imagine me taking a picture of something right? Funny! I love Baker's Rack for all my baking things. Cookie cutters, icing colors and lots, lots more - for cookies, candies and cakes. This is the best place in our area to get my baking things - a great assortment and she is a baker so she really KNOWS the good things!! I got a few new cookie cutters and some cool icing colors this weekend.


Happy Baking!

Spring Cookies

Nothing like having to post again....there was something wrong with Blogger...so this post I did the other day wasn't saved...so nothing new, just wanted to put it out there again on my blog.

Here's another Spring cookie order that just went out the door!! The event was today and I think they liked the cookies. Just an assortment but thought I would share what I've been up to. Some of the cookies are the same but I try something a bit different with each cookie...even though you might not be able to tell!

BZZZZ


There is a story to tell behind the finished product of the dragonfly. I was working on this order early, early AM last week. I was taking forever to decide which colors to use to go with the rest of them and had finally made my decision. Working nicely and about done with my flooding. When what should happen?? My WORST NIGHTMARE. My sleeve must have hit the cookie sheet that my cookies were on and they all went tumbling to the floor...and broke into little pieces. Only one dragonfly was salvaged. WOW. I wanted to cry. I think I did for a few seconds. Then just pulled out the mix master and made another batch of cookie dough, rolled out more dragonflies and started all over. You can imagine how devastated I was!!

Here is how they finally turned out. A lot of time and tears on my part!
Some butterflies....

Tulips with stems

More tulips.

Daisies

And the whole assortment together

Happy Baking!

Spring Cookies

Another Spring order. Like I said, the lady bugs have been popular this year! The bee was a new cookie for me to decorate. This first assortment was for a "bug" day at a children's school with the bees, ladybugs, butterflies and dragon flies.


BZZZZZZ.....


Hope you are enjoying the spring weather today! It is a nice one here in KC!
