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 :)

Bringing up baby!

Someone I work with wanted to take cookies for her daugter's baby shower. Her theme is pink and brown. These cookies made it safely on a plane from here to Oklahoma(carried on of course!)

Birthday cookies!

My favorite 4 year old wanted princess dresses to take to her school for her birthday. I came up with a variation of our wedding dress cookies for her in Cinderella blue of course! The boys needed something other than dresses so cupcakes it was.

Apples for the teacher!

My friend(who is a teacher) wanted these for the teachers at her school. I love their little personalities!

Nice Meeting You

We have many cookie fans that we never get to meet. Our friend and neighbor, Pam, has delivered lots of cookies to the nurses at SGAH, so I never had the pleasure of meeting some of our biggest fans. That changed last week when I became a patient of theirs. I made these to thank the staff for their excellent care.

It was nice meeting everyone, hope I don't see you again :)

Ship Happens!

My daughter is leaving for Shippensburg University in August. We had a "Ship you off to Shippensburg" Party for her in lieu of the traditional graduation party. We had great weather and great fun surrounded by friends and family.

Catch of the Day

New, quick and simple were what I was thinking when I decided to make these for a beach party we are hosting this weekend. I wanted to do something besides beachballs, sunshines, flip flops and starfish. Now I just have to come up with a cocktail to match!

Crab Feast

These are a nice cookie compliment to a crab feast Anna is hosting for friends. I made the "button cookies" to help break up the color of all that red. I'm happy with the way they turned out. As you can tell, I couldn't quite figure out how I'd platter them, I'll leave that up to Anna.

Say Yes to the Dress

Have you ever seen that show? It's one of those I sometimes watch and don't understand why I wasted an hour. Anyway, these remind me of that show, just without the annoying friends, realtives and bridezillas.

Thanks to Kim for your order, and to Laura for keeping me company during this decorating session.

Fourth of July Cookies

I was going for fireworks when I made these cookies. Some people have said they are tye dye stars. Either way, they work to celebrate the 4th of July. Thanks to Tatyana for ordering these cookies. They were FUN to make!
