Happy Birthday in Purple and Pink

I was busy this week making Birthday cookies for a special 10 year old girl. And of course, just like any girl that age I believe, purple and pink are her favorite colors. I brought out some of my sprinkles and disco dust for these fun little cookies!

What's a birthday party without a sparkly cupcake, right?
And what says little girls more than pretty shoes....

Tiaras.....
fancy dresses....
and purses? I thought they all would be perfect for a little girl party.
And don't forget the fun party cookies - cakes, candles, balloons and party hats!



Happy Baking.

Girls Night Out

I knew I couldn't go until after our trip without making some sugar cookies.

Did anyone have bets on me?

I made these girly cookies for a special group of ladies. I hope they enjoy them!

I must admit they are not my favorite cookies that I've made. I wasn't copying any designs and more "winging" it. That was my problem. I needed to borrow some ideas from someone!
Nothing says ladies like strawberries and margarita's!

Was trying to be a bit creative and make some cookies that looked like lipstick. Not too pleased with how they turned out and not sure you would know what they were if I didn't tell you. But hey, have to try, right?


Happy Baking.
I do have some cookies planned for next week :)
Another special occasion that I just couldn't miss making cookies for.

I've been wanting to try a chocolate chip sugar cookie for awhile....found the perfect occassion and the perfect recipe. From Karen's Cookies, HERE. I tasted this and it was just perfect....not too chocolatey but sweet enough. And I wondered how they would cook up and look once they were iced. As you can see they did good!

Some girlfriends of mine that are wild about my cookies have upcoming Birthdays. When I saw the idea for zebra print on my favorite blog I knew I had the perfect opportunity to try something new. The zebra print was pretty cool with Sugarbelle did it HERE. I watched her video tutorial and studied her pictures, thinking to myself this looks easier than it is going to be! I was right and this will take more practice on my part. But it was fun and I don't think it turned out too bad for my first attempt. Can you sort of see the zebra print going on here?
I got a few new cookies cutters and tried several of them out here. They were fun to use! My new Birthday cake cookie cutter.
Tiara's for my Princess friends!
There are so many possibilities I have with this purse cookie cutter!

Party hats!
I thought the dresses were cute and girly!
How old will they be? Hmmm...not sure but I know they are younger than me! Sigh...One friend is having her 3rd anniversary of her 25th Birthday I believe. She is stopping at 25 according to her! A good plan in my opinion.
I've used the shoe cookie cutter before but I think I found some cute details for these.
And here is the whole lot of my Zebra print inspired cookies. Always fun to step outside my box and try a few things!!!


Happy Birthday to my friends! Hope you enjoy the cookies!
