Firefly/Serenity cookies! I've always wanted to make these to represent one of my all time favorite shows. I finally had the opportunity make these cookies for a sugar show that happened over the weekend in Salt Lake City at CookieCon 2014. I absolutely love these and I'm very happy that they were so well received, even though a lot people didn't know what they were from. Netflix is about to get a lot of traffic to see Firefly soon, so if you haven't seen it, I highly recommend you do... if you have seen the show, then you understand why these were necessary and long overdue. Thanks to everyone once again that came out to see and vote on the sugar show, you're all my heroes! If anyone knows any of the cast... their cookies are safe and sound, they can pick them up anytime they'd like ;)<div>

One was for a school and she wanted something fun and age appropriate for elementary aged kids. The second was for a repeat customer who always has a big family gathering and everyone bakes but her, so she wanted to bring something extra fun this year to show off... here's what I came up with. I kinda wish I had more to do because these were so much fun to design and make.<br />

Austin meets D.C. welcome cookies for a wedding this past weekend. The bride side is a Mexican Hot Chocolate flavor with a Cinnamon flavor royal icing, the groom side is a Guinness flavor with a Bailey's Irish Cream flavor royal icing.... these were really tasty :) I haven't heard from her how she liked these but the weather was super sketchy so I'm sure she had her hands full trying to get everything ready. Melissa, I hope you had a wonderful wedding despite the cold weather. Thank you so much for including me in your special day :)<div>

These should be arriving today . They are pretty simple but I love that I got to do them. Top Gear is always on at our house, so these made me smile the whole time I was doing them thinking about all the crazy stuff they did on the show. I really hope the birthday boy enjoys them as much as I do :)<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; font-family: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;"><br /></span>

<br />They all taste the same... right? It's funny because there is a discussion every year around this time in our house over this "harvest mix" of sweet goodness. We know they are all the exact same ingredients but somehow our brain has us convinced that some taste better than others... I'm tricking my sister's brain and sending her come cookies to taste test this year ;)<div>

I had the wonderful opportunity to work with a group called Ride-On which does therapeutic horse training with vets with a group called A Place of Hope who give free medical care to vets who do not have insurance or can't afford treatment. I had so much fun working on these designs and actually doing Halloween cookies for change. If you're in the area (Marble Falls) and want to stop buy, come on down and take a look.<br />

Happy 9th birthday to Milo who is in love with the new Disney Infinity Game. He hand selected the characters he wanted represented to decorated the cake his mom is making for him (the ones on sticks will stick into the top)... In kinda a round about order starting at the top right corner there is Jack Sparrow, Barbosa, Dash, Violet, Jesse, Woody, Mike, Sully, Venelope, Lone Ranger, Ralph, Sally and Lightening McQueen... These were super fun and you never get to see such a wide variety of Disney characters in one place, makes me want to check out the game :)Monica Holberthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13341092750572310813noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5254959947761316762.post-66328772157698907582013-09-23T21:22:00.000-07:002013-10-01T21:23:15.893-07:00Hogsback Half Marathon cookies :)<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

I just shipped out cookies for the 2013 Hogsback Half Marathon taking place this weekend in Colebrook, CT. I was so excited to work with Kelly over at Sonic Endurance (sonicendurance.com) on these because she pretty much gave me free reign to have fun and do something unique for their event. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
If you haven't checked them out, take a look at their facebook page (<a href="https://www.facebook.com/pages/Hogsback-Half-Marathon-Goodwin-Dam-Colebrook-CT/102580726503140">https://www.facebook.com/pages/Hogsback-Half-Marathon-Goodwin-Dam-Colebrook-CT/102580726503140</a>). The charity they work with is <a href="http://www.facebook.com/l.php?u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.runningforrescues.org&h=iAQFSc_le&enc=AZNKry0Yf-lozTdhBt1qSp2paG8GiSmMR2_35LLJLIPcXd84-UI80EgOOx2Bi2JZjpjPaTweI9Fkunwt-8WC1Y7Mwje_SdPSn_FNL7SQaUgQNGNnDlBARU3MGyBJ6E6lIhCmALXOFbWv9Eb-VXwT4Jx6&s=1">www.runningforrescues.org</a>. These guys are an awesome cause out there doing what they love and trying to save lives of countless dogs and cats at the same time. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Keep up the good work guys, I hope you enjoy the cookies!</div>

Cookies for the fabulous Tricia Dunlap of Dunlap Portraits... Seriously if you are anywhere near Austin and want some awesome pics... Tricia blows me away (check her out, <a href="http://dunlapportrait.com/">http://dunlapportrait.com/</a>). I did these as part of a celebration for her husbands Grandmother. I love the color palette, soft yet still kinda modern... I think I have to go back and find a few more of these plates Tricia, I hope you and your family enjoy them!</div>

So I got a chance to revisit the very first set of Doctor Who cookies I did with a few additions<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; font-family: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;"><span class="userContent"> <i class="_4-k1 img sp_a85onw sx_5813ba" style="background-image: url(https://fbstatic-a.akamaihd.net/rsrc.php/v2/yU/r/j4j4KGyCaRg.png); background-position: 0px -2048px; background-repeat: no-repeat no-repeat; display: inline-block; height: 16px; vertical-align: -3px; width: 16px;"></i> </span></span>These were for Emily's 16th birthday and I really hope she enjoys them. It was fun to go back and revisit the designs and improve them a little bit, plus, how cute are River and Rose? I loved all the personal touches she asked for and I cannot wait to hear how these go over tomorrow. </div>

I really enjoyed this color palette and everything was done wet on wet icing, no painting on these for a change. I love all the different patterns and the small pops of orange. I hope they are a hit with the party goers this weekend.<br />

Now that all the girls have had a chance to see them, here is the rest of the Roller Derby set for the Rockin' City Rollergirls here in Round Rock, TX. Check out their website:<a href="http://www.rockincityrollergirls.com/">http://www.rockincityrollergirls.com/</a>, or facebook page:<a href="https://www.facebook.com/rockincityrollergirls">https://www.facebook.com/rockincityrollergirls</a>... these girls are so much fun, and kinda scary at the same time. I am so excited they enjoyed their cookies because I really enjoyed making them, so much so that I got a little carried away with how many I did... but I don't think they minded much ;) </div>
