The day after Christmas I hosted a Baby Shower for my best friend Emily. Emily and I have been best buddies since 7th grade and we are so excited to actually be pregnant at the same time! I was thrilled to get to throw her a shower. I really appreciate all the help that my family gave me as well as her sister Amy. It was fun making cookies and cupcakes to celebrate her little boy who is due March 7th. We can't wait to meet him!!!

Ladybug Ladybug

2010-12-01T20:25:00.000-08:00

I made these Ladybug cookies for a Ladybug baby shower. I had a lot of fun making large and small cookies for this order. I had never really done the mini cookies before and they were just so cute all wrapped up with a ribbon.

Mommy and Baby

50 and Fabulous

2010-12-01T20:09:00.000-08:00

Last year I made cookies for my cousin Jamie's Dad's 50th birthday. This year I got to make them for her Mom's 50th birthday. Jamie and Brandon are so sweet they drive all the way over from Bakersfield to pick up the cookies. It's especially nice because then we get to hang out with them for a little while which is always fun!

Joy posted this on my facebook the other day and it makes me smile!!! :)

"I wish I had a video of a conversation I had with one of my cutie patooties today. He comes up to me at snack time while eating your cookie and asks me "Did you make this delicioso cookie, Mrs. K?" I laughed and said..."No, one of my bestest friends did." He said: "I gotta meet this lady. This is the best cookie I've e...ver had...DELICIOSO!" hahahaha I died laughing asking him where he knows the word...delicioso and he said "I'm part mexican, duh! My last name is Sanchez!" hahahah You would love this kid! He is your #1 fan...besides me of course! :) :) :) The cookies were a HIT again! You are so talented and so sweet! I love you!!!!"

Kids say the best things!!! Thank you Mrs. K for sharing that with me, it made my day!!! : )

Back to School

2010-09-01T21:44:00.000-07:00

You know that it's going to be a good school year when you walk in to Meet The Teacher Night to find...

not only books on you new desk but a cookie too!!!

Mrs. K has to be one of the worlds most thoughtful teachers! Not to mention that her students always have such a blast with her! I don't ever remember getting anything like this from a teacher when I was a kid, do you?

It was so fun to see her classroom all ready for the year to begin. I love the way the cookies matched her school house theme! Have a wonderful school year 2nd Graders!!

5th Grade Cookies

2010-09-01T21:37:00.000-07:00

Mr. K's 5th Grade class is studying US History so he went with a patriotic theme. Seriously, are these not two of the funnest teachers ever?!?!? The really neat thing about these cookies is that some of the students who will enjoy them were in my first 1st grade class. It is hard to believe that they are already in 5th grade!

International Cookie Mail

2010-09-01T21:22:00.000-07:00

One of the teachers that I work with asked me if I could make angel cookies for her because she has an aunt who loves angels and she wanted to surprise her with cookies for her Birthday. The amazing thing to me about this story is that she picked up the cookies from me and then packaged them up and shipped them all the way to her aunt in the Netherlands!! Never in a million years did I think my cookies would make it all the way around the world. I feel truly honored that she felt my cookies were worth shipping for such a special gift!!

I wasn't sure how to do the mouth so I tried to make them look like they were singing... : )

Bikini Cookies

2010-08-19T14:57:00.000-07:00

I found this cookie cutter and I just couldn't resist! Awhile back I was hosting a Lingerie shower and I looked everywhere to find bra and panties cookie cutters... I had no luck then but when I found these recently I was so excited I just had to buy them. Since it's summer time I decided to experiment with Bikini's but I would love to do cookies for a Lingerie shower one of these days!!

Cookie Cupcakes

2010-08-13T11:29:00.000-07:00

These might actually be my favorite cookies I have ever made!! I found this cupcake cookie cutter awhile ago but had no reason to make them. So, after making the "thank you" cookies I decided it was time to play and experiment. I had some extra dough so I made some cupcake cookies just for fun. I was so pleased with how they turned out, who doesn't love cupcakes? Cupcakes combined with cookies... even better!! It actually worked out perfectly because I was going to be seeing 3 people with birthdays in the following days so they each got some Happy Birthday Cupcake Cookies. : )

Say "Thank You" with Cookies!!

2010-08-13T11:20:00.000-07:00

Sometimes you just need a little something to help you say "thank you" to someone who has blessed you. What better way to do so than with a tasty treat!?!? ; )

Thank you Joy and Sean for being my number one cookie supporters!!! I heart you both!!

King Arthur Birthday Party

2010-07-29T16:23:00.000-07:00

These were for the grandson of one of the teachers I work with. His name is Arthur and he turned 1 so they decided to have a King Arthur Party. My Grandma was staying with me for the week so she helped me and kept me company while we prepared 100 cookies

for this special party.

Pumpkin Scones

2010-06-23T23:51:00.000-07:00

Other than cookies, scones are truly one of my favorite things to bake!! I have a wonderful old fashioned scone recipe that I love to make but recently I branched out and made some pumpkin scones. I know it's not Fall but I simply LOVE pumpkin and I decided to make them even though it was Spring! I think the pumpkin scones at Starbucks are simply amazing so I went to google and typed in Starbucks pumpkin scones and I came up with this recipe. They were sooooo good and honestly just as good as the ones that really come from Starbucks. Here's where you can find the recipe...

I just wanted to use the ingredients I had at home so I didn't end up doing the hazelnut glaze but it didn't mater... they were still super yummy!! : )

Sports Cookies

2010-06-21T22:51:00.000-07:00

With the help of my very good friend Leanna I made 150 cookies for the church last week! It was a busy week but I was very happy with the way these cookies turned out!

Andy's Graduation

2010-05-28T16:03:00.000-07:00

Last weekend my brother Andy graduated from Cal Berkeley!!! Josh and I along with my parents made the trip up to be there for his big day! Of course there had to be Graduation cookies involved!!! Congratulations Andy!!! We are all so proud of you!!! : )

There were also Cal Grandma and Cal Mom cookies!! : )

Happy Birthday Scotty Dogs

2010-04-25T19:25:00.000-07:00

My uncle Dave loves his two doggies Howie and Miss Molly so my Grandma and mom thought it would be fun to send him doggie cookies for his birthday. Unfortunately I didn't have a Howie or Miss Molly cookie cutter but I did have a Scotty Dog so that's what he got! I had so much fun making and sending these cookies to my very special Uncle. Happy Birthday Uncle Dave, I love you!!! : )

Pink and Purple

2010-03-07T14:38:00.000-08:00

This week my husband Josh was in DC with his 8th graders for a class trip. One of the ways I kept myself busy while he was away was by making these pink and purple cookies for a Grandma's 90th birthday party. The party had a tulip theme so I made tulips and birthday cakes. I think they came out looking very sweet and very girly!!

Birthday Cakes

2010-02-20T17:56:00.000-08:00

My Friend Sarah ordered these cookies for her sister's surprise 30th birthday party. The party had a red and black theme so we decided to go with red cakes, silver sprinkles and black ribbon. The party was out of town so a friend of the birthday girl stopped by and picked them up on her way to the party. It is so much fun making all kinds of different cookies for so many different special occasions. I love getting to be a little part of someones special day!

Valentine Ducks and Hearts

2010-02-14T14:45:00.000-08:00

I am a preschool teacher and all of the different classes at school have animal names. I teach the 2 1/2 year olds and we are the monkeys. One of the other classes is called the Ducks class and the teacher for that class wanted to do Valentine cookies for her students. She thought it would be fun to have little duck cookies for her little ducks. I had fun making these cookies, combining ducks with Valentine's Day. I wish I could say that I made the little hearts with writing on them but I didn't. I found them at Michael's already made and they were just so cute I couldn't resist.

Snakes and Lizards

2010-02-07T19:40:00.000-08:00

I had so much fun making these snake and lizard cookies for a little boy named Jayden who turned 5. His mom said he loves reptiles and the color green... go for it! I looked for a cookie cutter of a snake but it was going to cost too much to order it plus I wanted to incorporate his name and age so I decided to go with a round cookie and just get creative. I was pretty proud of the results! Happy Birthday Jayden, I hope you had a super fun party today!! : )

Little Girl Baby Shower

2010-02-01T19:30:00.000-08:00

I made these cookies for my cousin Sierra's baby shower. This was the first baby shower I did for a little girl. Her name is Alexandra but they are calling her Lexi which I think is so cute! She was just born a few days ago and I can't wait to meet her!!! : )

Christmas is Coming...

2009-12-03T20:42:00.000-08:00

It's hard to believe that Christmas is just around the corner but apparently it is! I made these cookies for my friend Amy's Mary Kay Open House. It was a great opportunity for me to experiment with some ideas for Christmas.

Ice Skates

2009-11-03T19:46:00.000-08:00

I made these for a little girls 8th Birthday Party. Her initials are ST so that's what the letters stand for. It was kind of funny making ice skates in October the day before Halloween. I love ice skating and I think an ice skating birthday party is too cute!

Volleyball

2009-11-03T19:42:00.000-08:00

These were for a High School Volleyball team to enjoy after a game against their rival school. Making Volleyballs was a little trickier than I had expected but I think they came out pretty good.

Bridal Shower/ Cookie Mail

2009-11-02T19:26:00.000-08:00

Recently, my friend Amy was invited to a bridal shower in Honolulu Hawaii that she wasn't going to be able to attend because she lives in Utah. She wanted to send cookies to the shower so she asked me if I could make and mail them to the party. I had never mailed my cookies before but I thought I would give it a try and see what happened. I made the cookies and mailed them. The mailing part was a little more complicated than I had expected but in the end the cookies ended up getting to the shower just in the nick of time. They arrived intact and they were enjoyed at the party. It was a learning experience to say the least but now, I know that it can be done! Thanks Amy for wanting to send cookies!!!

Ian and Tara's Wedding

2009-11-02T18:45:00.000-08:00

I had the honor of making cookies for my cousins wedding. I was so excited that they would ask me to do it and that they wanted to have my cookies at their beautiful wedding. I was pretty nervous because I had never made that many cookies before (150) and I had never done them for something so fancy. I ended up getting some late night help from my family ; ) which I greatly appreciated. They turned out cute and just in time. It was so fun to walk into the reception hall and see the cookies sitting at all the place settings on the fancy tables. It was a beautiful wedding and I was so glad I was able to contribute to their special day. It was also really fun looking around and seeing people enjoying the cookies. Thank you Ian and Tara for letting me do this for you!!!

A Silver Anniversary

2009-10-16T22:04:00.000-07:00

My Parents just celebrated their Silver Anniversary so I made them these cookies for their party. Congratulations Mom and Dad on 25 years of marriage!

2009-10-11T23:09:00.000-07:00

At my church this year the Women's Bible Study is doing the book of Esther. I made these cookies for the first day of Bible Study as a welcoming treat for each lady.

2009-09-07T22:37:00.000-07:00

It's hard to believe that it's really that time of year again already! These cookies were for my friend Joy's 2nd grade students for Meet the Teacher Night. I hope they helped to make going back to school after a fun summer just a little bit sweeter!

Baby Shower

2009-08-08T15:24:00.000-07:00

I made these cookies for a baby shower this weekend. The baby's name is still up in the air but they know it's going to be a boy and that his name will start with a B... thus the b has many meanings. Blake, Brandon, boy, baby... Her invitations were really cute, they said "Oh Baby!" so that's where the "Oh Baby!" cookie came from. I really enjoyed making these cookies!! It's a fun little way to get to be apart of some important events in peoples lives!
