Kitchen Themed Bridal Shower Cookies

A sweet lady contacted me to make some custom cookies for a kitchen themed bridal shower she was throwing.

I was already slammed with orders, but I couldn't pass up the opportunity to do something new.

And boy, was I glad I didn't.

I had to much fun creating these. I hope I get to make these adorable cookies again sometime.

I still can't believe people hire me to do this.


Amazing! I am one lucky gal!

Hambuger Cupcake and Cookie Fries

I always do something wacky for my husband's April Fool's birthday.

This year I stumbled across these adorable cupcakes and cookies from Bakerella and have been saving them for the perfect occasion.

They turned out perfect and my hubs said it was the best burger and fries he's ever had. Did I mention they were super easy? Seriously, it took me longer to bake everything than it did to assemble these guys.

I'm thinking these would be perfect for Father's Day too, don't you?

Wild Cookies-Zebra and Giraffe Prints!

New cookie designs on my Esty store!




I've been working on zebra and giraffe print cookies for a custom order.

I think they turned out pretty well, but there are definitely some things I'll do differently next time.


Every new cookie design comes with t a learning curve for sure!

Cookies, cookies, cookies!

I've been BUSY with some cookies! I have loved getting to create a few new designs.

Valentine's Day inspired Scotties.


Hearts. These were so fun.

These are actually brownies with a fondant overlay.


This is what Asher took to school for his Valentines with a cute little tag that read, "Have a monster-ific Valentine's Day."



Girl's night out/Bachelorette inspired cookies.


Fancy Nancy cookies for my niece's 5th birthday party.



Mickey and Minnie cookies for a sweet 2nd birthday!



You can order any of these cookies (and more!) at my online Etsy Store Here.

Hello Kitty Cake!

My friend, Nina, asked me to make this cake for her 32nd birthday. If any 32 yr old can rock a Hello Kitty cake, it's Nina!

On a side note, this cake should have been really easy...at least it was in my head before I started. I used this template to help with the carving. It was really helpful and I just used the zoom button in my photo shop program to get it the size I needed.

Here's where I went wrong: I had two options on what size to bake this cake, my sheet cake pan and a 12 in round. I realized the sheet cake pan meant I would be able to carve Kitty out in one piece, but I would have GOBS of cake scraps leftover. If I used the 12 in. pan, I would have to carve Kitty's face and then carve and attach her ear's separately.

I opted for the 12 in pan because I thought it would save me lots of materials cost and carving the ears couldn't be that difficult, right?

I couldn't have been more wrong. Those little ears got the better part of at least 2 hours. And carving Kitty's face "just right" was at least another 2 hrs because my 12 inch cake pan was just a little on the small size.

Well, lesson learned! Don't ever try to cut costs with materials b/c it will just cost you in the long run with your time....which is far more valuable than materials most for the most part!



Oh, but isn't she just so cute!!!

And since Nina and I go back more than 20 years, I wanted to do something a little extra for her, so I made these super cute Hello Kitty cookies!

She also wanted coordinating cookies. Sure!

I loved how everything turned out. The 20 hours I put into this order was definitely worth it! I thought it turned out fabulous!

Happy 1st Birthday, Peyton!

Halloween and Fall Cookies

I know Halloween in over, but I post this for reference next year. These cookies are so much fun, but SO much work!




Unfortunately, I got ahead of myself and forgot to take pictures before I packaged them. Oops! Hopefully, you can still get the gist of all their cuteness.




I made ghosts, pumpkins and witch's hats to pass out at my son's school.



They were a big hit with the kids.



And honestly, I am SOOOOO ready to start Christmas cookie making. Crazy, I know! I just can't help myself!

New Venture-Custom Cookies!

I have been dying to make these adorable sugar cookies for awhile. I finally got on the stick and made a test batch after my friend asked me about making some for her daughter's first birthday.
I was very happy with the way turned out, although they are way more time consuming than I ever imagined.
I spent the next 5 days perfecting the recipe, rolling the dough to the ideal thickness and testing the perfect cook time in my oven. I think I finally have it.


Looking forward to making many more of these!
