Wedding Cake Cookies

I made these wedding cake cookies for a bridal shower, to be given out as favors. I really enjoyed decorating these cookies. They were very simple, but turned out great!


Baby Shower 3

I had the fun opportunity to make cookies and cupcakes for another friend's baby shower.The cookies were my standard sugar cookies with royal icing. For the cupcakes, I made vanilla bean topped with my favorite icing, a cream cheese/buttercream blend. My super talented friend Nicole, made the tutu-inspired stand. How cute is that? I had fun making these sweet treats!








First Birthday/Daisy Cookies







I made these daisy cookies for a sweet little girl's first birthday party. At the party, her mom put the cookies in flower pots, which is such a cute idea. I am very proud to say that these cookies were made, including the icing, all natural, no artificial ingredients or dyes were used.

Onesie Cookies 2






I made these cookies for a friend's baby shower at work. She did not know the gender of her baby at the time of the party. I threw in some pink with the blue, because she has 4 boys and jokes about how much she dislikes pink. Well, I must have been on to something because she is expecting a daughter, ha!

Onesie Cookies







I made these onesie cookies for my precious friend Ashley. She was unsure of the gender of her baby,so I used neutral colors. I also threw in some cherry blossoms, as she has a love of Japan. This is where my love of decorating cookies really began to take full effect. I had so much fun making these, and I love how they looked and tasted.

Peanut Butter Cake Balls




These cake balls are filled with a mixture of peanut butter and cream cheese, and dipped in white chocolate. They are SO good, and every time I make them, they disappear very quickly.

Peppermint Cupcakes





I made these cupcakes for a wedding shower in December. The cake was vanilla bean and peppermint. The frosting was my own cream cheese creation complete with vanilla extract and crushed peppermint on top. The result was a wonderful balance of sweet with just enough hint of peppermint without tasting overwhelming. These would be good any time of year, but I think they will continue to be a holiday treat...
