Sunshine and Flip Flops

These cookies were so fun to make and just make me smile! I've made this design of suns before but think they are so cute and cheerful!

And nothing better says summer to me than a pair of flip flops!

Happy Baking

Cookies for Fun

I got the chance to try some cookies just for fun and be able to give them away....I think I pulled out all the cookie cutters I had just to see what I wanted to make!!! It's not often that I get a chance to decide with the orders that I do. So I pulled out quite a few the last week and just made a summer assortment.

A very neat idea I saw on Picket Fence Confections website here. With my new baking tips, putting the details on the very small lady bugs was a bit easier. But I do have to tell you, I wish I had a steadier hand! The little lady bug is a smaller cookie "glued" on with icing.
Just like a little kid, when I got this new cookie cutter I was anxious to try it out!!! Looks good enough to drink!

Sugarbelle inspired me one again with the flip flops. I have a larger flip flop but to make this smaller one I used a butterfly cookie cutter. Quite creative, right?
The future's so bright, gotta wear shades!
Nothing says summer like a slice of watermelon.
Another Sugarbelle idea - for a palm tree - take a cross cookie cutter and cut off the top portion and you have a smaller palm tree.
My fun Bouquet Cookies were another brilliant idea. Sugarbelle took a tree cookie cutter and turned them into a gorgeous bouquet. I used a few different techniques that Sugarbelle described on her website which was fun to practice.

Here's the whole assortment!Happy Baking!
