The Boys of Fall

Laura, one of our biggest fans, ordered football cookies for her son's end-of-year party via e-mail. I was baking acorns, so to make life easier, baked the footballs at the same time. I knew since both were brown, decorating would go a lot faster.

As we talked on the phone one day, Laura mentioned when she'd like to pick up her football bouquet. Bouquet? I never even thought to put them on sticks. Being the good sport she is, she said it didn't matter. Being determined to please one of my favorite customers, I knew I had to add sticks. I little icing to act like glue on the back did the trick, not too pleasing to the eye, but delicious! I told one of my kids it was white glue, it's non-toxic you know--edible. I still haven't told him that I was just kidding.

Fall Foliage

I think I made a million fall cookies this year. I'd say this fall collection is one of our biggest sellers. Thanks to everyone for their donations.

More baby!

Cake pops for sale? Not usually!! Since cake pops need to be made at the last minute, it is not something that I can say yes to very often. It depends on my work schedule. It did put a different spin on all the baby cookies that Audrey and I are making. Hope everyone at the shower enjoys them!

Something in the Water

Three baby girl orders in one week, there must be something in the water! Joan has a baby order too, including cake pops. I believe that the colors are green and brown--boy or girl? Guess we'll have to wait for her post to see.

Happpy Birthday Patty

When Myrta asked on Thursday if I could make a birthday bouquet for Monday, I told her totally impossible unless they could be fall colors as I was planning on starting my fall decorating. So these are what I came up with. A bouquet for the birthday girl and minis to share with guests.

Thanks for your donation to Operation Second Chance.

Halloweeniest!

I was late getting ready for Halloween this year...so Audrey baked all the cookies. I decided to make a neighborhood favorite---cake pops!

Ween

I had to put the ween in Halloween myself. Joan is very busy preparing for her annual Halloween party--lots of good eats, chocolate covered pretzels, and cocktails of course.

Hallo

Hoping Joan provides the ween!

Pink Ribbons

Cookies in a jar are the newest fad in cookie decorating; I've been waiting to try them myself. I'm sold! The possibilities are endless. I'm quite pleased with how these turned out. We're now in the market for cheap cookie jars. This jar is one of eight that Joan and I found at a yard sale--deal of the day!

These are for my friend Bee who is all too familiar with the symbolism of pink ribbons.

Operation Second Chance

I made these for our current good cause, Operation Second Chance. They are having an event this weekend and asked for something patriotic. The hearts and stars look nice plated together.

90!

Kitty is turning 90!

Her daughter describes her as an avid reader, hospital volunteer, bridge player, and has a heart of gold.

This was one of those orders that I was free to make whatever I wanted. So I thought I would incorporate some books into the bunch. Thanks Kerry for your repeat business.

Cuter Than A Cookie

Is it okay to use a gift before you give it? Well, I just browsed through it and took a few pictures, didn't leave any stains.

Bakerella (www.bakerella.com) just released this book and I knew the minute I saw it I had to get it for Joan. I am cake pop challenged, she's a pro. There are some really cute ideas in the book, lots of tips too--maybe if I follow a few I can get better at cake popping. With Halloween and Christmas approaching, I thought I would share my two favorite ideas from the book. I hope someone makes them for me :)
