Coloring Book Cookies

I wanted to create something fun and whimsical for a little girl we know who is in the hospital. What do little girls like? Well, rainbows, hearts, and butterflies, of course! I hope she will find this activity amusing as she colors in the cookies herself and then gets to eat her creations. These cookies should go a long way to combat hospital boredom. Please join me in keeping this sweet family in your prayers! We hope she will come home very soon.

Summer Citrus Cookies

What's perfect for the summer heat? Refreshing citrus cookies! Lemon flavored and inspired by the wonderful and talented Sweetopia. I whipped these up last night for a potluck and I hope everyone loves them as much as I do!

Picnic Themed Shower

July 2012

Recently I was asked to make some display cookies for a picnic themed baby shower. The dessert hostess requested watermelons and ants, and as soon as I heard about this my mind was abuzz with all of the possibilities! In the end I also added some picnic blankets with piped ants crawling across the top inspired by these cuties. The inspiration cookies were made using Wilton spray, but I was looking for a more casual, vintage look so I decided to try painting the lines on. I think it worked out beautifully and the inconsistencies only add to the charm. I hope the mommy-to-be was pleased with the results:

"The ants go marching one by one, hurrah, hurrah!"

"The ants go marching one by one, the little one stops to suck his thumb...."
