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.

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!
