Oktoberfest 2013... Happy Birthday Billy!

Oktoberfest cookies! Well, technically they are birthday cookies with an Oktoberfest theme for a only and only Mr. Billy who is turning 40. These were a surprise so shhhhh, don't tell him ;)

Pretty Pink Princess Cookies

Girlie, Pink, Purple, and Sparkly... mission accomplished :)

A Doctor Who set for a very sweet (and patient) customer named Tiffany's Birthday. She sent me this pic today which I awesome because I totally forgot to take one. I got to play with a new recipe on these, they were lavender vanilla cookies with lemon icing, and they were delicious  Happy Birthday Tiffany!

Hartley's First Birthday... Tutus and Ties

Bow ties are cool... Dr. Who take 2

I was blessed to be able to do another fun set of Dr. Who cookies this week. After talking with the customer she told me I was allowed to have some fun with them so I went for something more whimiscal and really play on the birthday theme. I tried to keep it down to a few simple elements and make them fun, like the little fez toppers on the cupcakes :) I don't know who the little white guys are but someone needed to hold the party baloons so they won the job. Allons-y!

Birthday Mooses

My mother's nickname is "Moose." She's been called that for years, but recently my parent's decided to join the Moose Lodge, so now she's a double moose :) Her birthday was coming up and she'd given me this moose cookie cutter at Christmas "just in case I wanted to make some moose cookies" (hint, hint). So I decided to go for it. I took her moose head and added a party hat to it, then I took another moose cookie cutter I had and just used his antlers to attach to a cupcake. These also were my first attempt at chocolate chip cookie dough... well not my first attempt, but my first successful one. I didn't tell her they were coming, in fact I sent them late just so she wouldn't expect them. She thought they were hilarious and immediately took them to the lodge to share. I had a lot of great comments on these, I wouldn't be surprised if they aren't the last moose birthday cookies I do.

Cookie's Cookies

Jerry's Birthday Cookies

My friend and coworker, who I have done many cookies for in the past, told her mom about my new hobby and she decided to put me to the test. I apologize in advance for the really bad pics. I wish I had a good excuse but it was really early in the morning when I started boxing them up and I'm just glad I remembered to use the camera at all.

This set was for a friend that was turning 60. I was told his pride and joys are a '57 Corvette and a sailboat named Synchrony. His hobbies were crabbing, fishing, and duck hunting. This one was kind of fun because I could be really creative with what I wanted to do. We decided on a corvette and a sail boat of course, then a duck decoy, a fish, and a Maryland blue crab, since that's what he fishes for. I love the net behind the crab :) She said the birthday boy enjoyed them a lot... onto the next order....

ECU Tailgating Cookies... go Pirates!

The next order for Cookie was going to attend an ECU tailgating party. I'd done a few college things before but ECU had very stylized everything so this was a little bit of a challenge. We decided to use a little bit of liberty and try to embrace the spirit of ECU rather than be a photo copy of their logos and mascot. I went out a bought the skull and cross bone cutter and I found a really cute little pirate hat that we bought as well and I used on top of my skull and cross bones :)
