Creative Cookie Contest

LilaLoa is holding a fun Creative Cookie Contest.
Basically take a present cookie cutter like this one...
 Bake a cookie and come up with any design other than a present.
You can flip it, turn it...whichever you like. 
Here is my design I came up with...

Stop on over to her blog and check out all the amazing designs. You will be impressed. I know I am.
So much creativity & talent out there in the Cookie world.


Magical Fairies

Fairy themed cookies for a women's extravaganza. Hmmm well I knew I didn't want to do a girly cartoonish fairy so I went with a silhouette fairy. Chose the colors of bright pink, blue, green & purple. Airbrushes the edges with a darker color for some added dimension. I wanted these cookies to be magical. Added teeny tiny dots as fairy dust and painted on some stars with a dot of royal icing to make the stars twinkle like. I love the way they turned out...Magical Fairies ;)

April cookies

Wow April is a popular month for cookies. Birthdays, baby showers, fun events. I really enjoyed decorating these fun cookies for friends events. I wish I would of made a tutorial on some of them but I didnt :( 
I made some really cute horses for an event at Harmony Farms. They turned out really cute I think. 
How cool to throw a Black, White & Red cherry themed birthday party for a girl? How fun is that? I was able to make some cookies for this event and I am so happy with the way they turned out. Black & white checkerboard background with double cherries on top. They were time consuming but so worth the end result. These are the kind of cookies that when I finish its all worth the time that goes into my designs. 
 A friend of mine wanted to send some her Dad some fun birthday cookies for her Dad who is turning 60. She requested a cookie that looks like a Geritol bottle HAHA how funny is that!
I love my friends & family fun event and party ideas. I enjoy making them cookies for their events. I mean think about it...my cookie jar can only be so full. Cant eat all the yummy cookies alone!
Happy baking to all my fellow Sweets. Enjoy your weekend. XOXO

3D Bunny

Easter was creeping up on me so I figured I better get with it and make some Easter cookies for FUN....cuz we all know Easter & cookies together is FUN! I had a few ideas of what I wanted to create but didn't get to create all of them. Maybe I will at another time. Is it weird to see bunnies & chicks popping up in August? I mean people love Christmas but it would be kinda odd to show everyone the pretty Christmas and Santa Claus cookies I did for July? HAHA...anyways moving along....

I made this cool little 3D bunny and let me tell ya...even though it came out pretty cool it was more nerve racking than playing the game of operation when I was a kid with no steady hand HAHA! The royal icing flower transfers were so delicate and yes I broke many. Thankfully some made it through to stand tall.

Rainbows, Shamrocks & Clouds oh my...

Well its almost that time of the year again...St. Patrick's Day. I heard on TV the other day that St Patrick's Day is the #1 drinking day of the year. Wow and I didn't even make any green beer cookies lol. So this year before making cookies for this holiday I was inspired to do some rainbows. Something fun & colorful. I also wanted to make cupcakes. Im usually a cookie making machine but I have a big spot in my heart for cupcakes too.
Colorful Cookies....
I share with you some of me pot o' gold
Rainbow Cupcakes...I sure would like to find a cupcake at the end of a rainbow ;)

 Enjoy your Fun & COLORFUL Weekend. Happy St. Patrick's Day!

Cupookie Cookies

I have been wanting to make cookies like this for some time now and finally came around to it. I wish I would of had some nice pink paper for the background but i didn't have anything that would fit as the cookies were layed out. But they turned out cute I think. The funny thing is even thought these are not too detailed I was having a hard time eating these because once you eat one it screws the whole set up. So I started with one of the BIG cupcakes then it was the "C" after I ate the "C" its been all down hill from there haha. So yummy !!
