Wizard 101, Happy Birthday Gavin

Wizard 101 cookies, take 2 :) I got an email from a mom who's son is a big fan of Wizard 101. She'd seen the platter of cookies I did for the company and wanted something similar for her son's birthday party. I kept the bite cookies pretty much the same but I was able to add more detail to the doodle cookies this time around, including a colorful dotted border and a custom "birthday" cookie with 2 wizards from his school (balance). I always love making Wizard 101 cookies, it is such a fun game with the best fans on earth. Maybe I'll get to do some ninja pigs or goblins next time :)

Happy Birthday Wizard 101... 3 years and growing!

We have a small company out here called KingsIsle Entertainment that puts out an amazing game called Wizard 101. It's a massive multiplayer online game for kids (and adults) of all ages, kinda like World of Warcraft meets Harry Potter. If you aren't already one of 20+ million players then you should check it out (Wizard101.com), you can play for free but it's only available on the PC :(.  Okay, enough sales pitch for one day, back to the story. So the game is 3 years old today which is awesome and I'm very proud of my Austin guys for coming up with something special that everyone seems to love so much. I wanted to do something extra special so I decided to make a large arrangement of cookies with all new flavors that would correspond to their 7 schools of magic (Life, Death, Fire, Ice, Myth, Storm, and Balance). I've never done this many cookies at once and I can say it was way more work than I was expecting but so worth it in the end. They ate it up, literally, and loved the new flavors.

On a side note, Texas passed a law that became effective yesterday which legalized home based baking businesses... so I'm now official and legal :) Look for way more news and changes to come, I can't wait to start seeing where this all takes me.

This is what 181 cookies look like, and this was only half!
