Christmas Lights

I had a couple errors on the cookies, one of which is hard to see, so I won't point it out, the other is on one of the blue lights. You can see it in the group of three on the bottom right. While piping the border, the tip got clogged and it caused me to mess up. Because there was just enough for the intended recipients, I had to make do. It's also hard to see the base of the treads, but I used some edible silver dust on them to make them sparkly. The actual treads weren't dry yet, but once they did, I added some silver dust to those as well. I loved the sparkly result! I added a closeup so you can see it better.

Snowmen

These have a slight mess up...I was impatient waiting for the whote to completely dry before piping on his eyes, which is why they bled into the white a little bit.

Indiana Jones inspired

The theme for the cookies was Indiana Jones. I wasn't sure what to add, so I put a whip on each cookie.


Christmas Trees

These were ordered for twins for their first Christmas as party favors.




WoW cookies

Not your everyday request. These are "hearthstones" from the computer game, World of Warcraft. It was explained to me that hearthstones are what the character player uses to take them back to "home".

Baby Onesies

I'm sure you're all familiar with the onesies I do. Same concept, just different colors. These were designed to be unisex.

Fashionistas




It's not fashion without Coach purses right?
I included this picture of the Chanel cookies so you can better see the quilting in the bag. I'm very proud of the quilting! Haha.

You are a ray of sunshine on a cloudy day




I feel as though this is the only one that warrants explaining. It's supposed to be a desert sun, cartoon style.

Fouled Anchor Cookies

The fouled anchor is basically what you see, an anchor with a sloppy chain (in this case "rope") wrapped around it. In the Navy it's used to represent Chief Petty Officers. These were completed for a Navy spouse for her Husband's homecoming.

Dragon cookies

Probably some of the more challenging cookies I've had to make. I think they came out pretty good and like all cookies I make, I can see where I could have improved. Overall I love the finished product though!

Spiderman Cookies

I just completed an order of Spiderman cookies for a Birthday party this weekend. I love how they came out! Here's a few different pictures...the first one was a progress shot of just the web before I put the eyes on, a group shot, closeup and then I packaged one to show the finished product. I think the blue ribbon is a great Spidey touch and am happy I went with that over a red ribbon. The grand total of Spiderman cookies was 40!

Yellow Support Ribbons

I fulfilled an order for a military spouse whose Husband is returning home from a deployment. Instead of "support our troops" written on the yellow ribbons, I put "welcome home." I love how they came out and even more surprised that my handwriting held up while using icing. I tend to not have very good luck with that.

New infant onesies

I was contacted by my friend DeAnna's friend Rose (sounds confusing) about making some onesies for DeAnna's baby shower. I gladly accepted and made her pink polka dot inspired cookies. I was informed that they were a hit at the shower!

Forgot to add the Katana's!

Someone asked if I was able to make some Katana's (samurai swords) for her. Her Husband is a collector of swords. The difficult part was I had to hand cut each sword out of the dough as I couldn't find a cutter. Personally I think they resemble knives instead of swords, but I was happy with the final result.

Cinderella Inspired

My friend DeAnna came to me asking if I can make some favors for her Daughter's Cinderella Birthday party. I made some glass slippers and also mini pumpkins (her coach to the ball) that she can use to decorate the cupcakes with. I love how the pumpkins came out!

Fit for a teacher

Bombs and 8 Balls

The picture isn't the greatest, I took it real quick to share with the client (love how professional that sounds) and forgot to take a better picture of both. I love how the 8 ball came out, but the bombs I had to do a little differently than the last ones. The "fuse" on the bomb needed to be completely on the cookie instead of hanging off because they were being shipped. They would have easily broken otherwise.

Tractors

I had two different requests for tractors, some John Deere and Farmall
