I am so in love with these pink gems!
The designs were sent to me by the mama, she found them online. I just mimicked them with my own style of frosting/icing. And they turned out better than I expected!
The cake on the cake stand is identical to the cake ordered for the party.

Does everyone know my friend Nate? His blog Nate Makes Cookies is not only hilarious, but it’s a fun creative take on food blogging. He makes only Martha Stewart Cookie Recipes and writes about his experience, (sometimes) problems, and how everyone loves each recipe. It’s honestly one of my favorite blogs to read!
Annnnyways… Nate recently emailed me asking if I wanted to do a “foodie pen pal” thing and send each other local foods and some homemade cookies. Of course I was on board!!
I made these cookies for Nate:
(if you go see his site you’ll see why I did this design!)
I also had to throw in some California cookies because he is in Oregon. I got my inspiration for these from Andrea of Cupookie. I saw these California cookies she did and knew I had to make my own version!
If you look carefully, the dot on the first “i” is right about at Sacramento. 🙂
So glad you loved your cookies Nate!!

My coworker asked me to make her some wine themed cookies for her friend’s birthday. I had all the cutters already, but I had not yet had the opportunity to use them!
I did 1/2 red wine and 1/2 white wine.
The birthday girl’s name is Rose so I came up with things on the wine labels to go with her name. The first I did a little rose, one said “Rose’s Vine,” one said “B-Day Blend,” and one said “Red as a Rose.”

The little girl that got the Caillou cookies is now 3!
Her theme was The Little Mermaid, but I thought that Ariel and Flounder were a little out of my comfort zone… we came up with a cookie that is more my style, but would still coordinate well with the feel of the party.
All of the decorations were pink and purple, but I added some bubbles to go with the “under the sea” theme.
Remember this baby shower? Can you believe that this little guy turned 1 already? Craziness how time flies!
Mama had a hard time coming up with a birthday theme idea, but somehow she thought of Tools! Perfect for him!
I am so in love with these cookies.
The colors were pulled from the plates she bought for the party.
I also made the lil guy a smash cake.
Simple and easy since it ended up like this anyway:
The baby that was in the belly at this baby shower (more treats here) just turned 1!
Blue’s Clues was the theme, so we made lots of blue sweet treats!
Of course there had to be cookies. These were bagged and used as favors.
I made cake pops, but we wanted them to have puppy paws on them. I came up with the idea of using an oreo pop mold that I found online. I will definitely be using this technique again!
I did the paw print darker blue. I squeezed candy melts into the paw print, then tapped the tray to settle it into the mold. This also helped get all the air bubbles out. Tapping is key! Then I put these in the fridge for a few minutes to harden up.
With the lighter blue I squeezed a layer across the bottom of the mold. Then tap tap tap!
I mixed up the cake pop dough like normal, but instead of rolling it into balls I flatted it into a thick pancake and cut circles out of it with a circle cookie cutter. Then I just dropped a disk of cake into each mold and gently pressed it into the candy melts.
 
Then I just squeezed more candy melts around the cake and across the top, tapped it against the counter, and popped it into the fridge to harden up.
Once they had hardened completely (maybe 20 minutes?) they came out of the molds really easily.
Look how fancy they look!!
I also made the little guy his very own smash cake… that will be forthcoming!
Last time I made lingerie it was for Valentines Day.
These were for a bridal shower! Wedding colors are eggplant and taupe. I got permission to throw in some hot pink to make them Pop! There were 3 dozen total, each a little bit different. Here are just a few of them:

These adorable elephants were for a baby shower!
I used the same basic design as the elephants for this circus party, but in boy colors!
I’m so obsessed with these I will probably do some for my own someday baby shower. (No I’m not pregnant so don’t get excited.)

I made these lovely treats for a woman who just finished radiation for breast cancer and was throwing herself a fabulous party!
The colors were PINK and BROWN. So cute.
Cookies…
Â
Chocolate Cake Pops…
Â
and Marshmallows!!
The pink ones were pomegranate, but ended up tasting nothing like pomegranate… I will have to try again one of these days because I love pomegranate!
 
I decided to try a little piped swirl for these. There were going to be a lot of guests at the party so the smaller the treat the farther it goes! I decided later that I’m glad I didn’t do the swirls with the chocolate mallows ….. 
These chocolate ones were a million times better than the first chocolate ones I made… dark chocolate is the key!
Â
I hope the party was as fabulous as it was sweet!

…flowergirl? …ringbearer?
A good friend of mine is getting married next year and wanted to do something special to ask her little ladies/gent to be her flowergirls/ringbearer. She came up with the idea of doing a large decorated cookie for each of them. I just love how they turned out!
Here are the girls enjoying their cookies…
