Cookie Exchange Party

I hosted my first cookie exchange party today, and it was a success! Each guest was asked to bring 4 dozen of their favorite cookie. We had snacks, drinks, and sampled all the cookies...then each guest made a variety platter to take home. We sipped on egg nog, cider, and of course, chocolate milk. There were 3 contest categories and prizes for each: "Best Looking Cookie", "Most creative/Unique Cookie" and the ultimate "Best Tasting Cookie". Each guest recieved a potholder tied up with a bow and an ornament as a party favor. It was a delicious afternoon with family and friends, and got us in the Christmas spirit. I think I will be making this an annual event.

Halloween Cake Pops

Thought I'd try making some Halloween cake pops. If you've never had a cake pop, they are basically cake and frosting rolled into one delicious bite. They taste soooo good!

A "champagne" toast...

This was an order for my popular bridal cookies, but this time they were requested in a champagne & chocolate brown color scheme. I was loving this since these were the colors of my own wedding. The cookies were brushed with an edible gold dust to give them a little shimmer.

Packaged up as favors for a bridal shower. Congrats to the bride & groom!

Toy Story Cookies

These were made for a 5th birthday party. Buzz Lightyear was my first real character cookie, and I was pretty pleased with the end results.





























Here were the "testers" I did the week prior. I sent them to my sons's daycare for his birthday week, and the kids loved 'em!

We appreciate teachers!

I donated a basket of cookies to the local Staples where my husband works for "Teacher Appreciation Day".
















Know a teacher that needs appreciating? Have a student that needs some well wishes for the upcoming school year? Send them a school-themed cookie gift set!

Back to School!

Is it that time of year already?

Sweeten up the season with some school-themed cookies. These will be packaged up in sets of 4 cookies each. Makes a really great first-day-of-school gift, or a perfect care package for a college student.

Sweet 16 Surf Party

Made for Emily and Matt's 16th birthdays - they were going to be surprised with surf lessons and a party on the beach. Ah, to be 16 again...

Cuter than cookies

Check out the adorable baby shoes my sister makes for her etsy site

If you order some, tell her I sent you :)

Bachelorette Party

I made these "Sex and the City" themed cookies for a bachelorette party. Boxed them up in sets of 4 - each girl got a shoe, purse, martini and dress.


The boxes are new, and I like them because they are made from 100% recycled box board. Eco-friendly packaging.

I also made more of my popular wedding dresses this week - with yellow accents - for a summer bridal shower.

Off to the beach....

see you in a few!

Dance Recital Cookies

These are two of my favorite things - dancing and making cookies - so these are a match made in heaven. These will be sold at the concession table at Jazziak's Dance School's recital.

One cannot go to dance class without a cute dance bag

And dancewear,

And the proper shoes.

These are for all the star dancers

And the little princesses that always steal the show.

Batman!

These were made for a Batman-themed 6th birthday party.

Baseball Jerseys

Girls' Night Cookies

Shoes, purses and sweets..........what more could a girl ask for?

These would be so cute for a bachelorette party, girls' night out, bridal shower, or special birthday...


And the possibilities of colors and styles are endless.

Dance Logo Cookies

Made for some dance students for their recital. The purple dancer is the logo for the Cathy Taylor School of Dance.

Barefoot Babies & Butterflies

I made these for a baby shower to (roughly) match a bedding set called "raspberry swirl". It reminded me of spring, hence the butterflies and baby toes. Added in some onesies, and the cookies came out adorable.

A photo of the bedding set is in between the two butterfly cookies.

Bridal Shower Favors

I made 75 of these for a bridal shower order....white dresses with light blue accents. So pretty!!
