It's a beautiful day in the Neighborhood... and perfect for a birthday

Has anyone else heard of Daniel Tiger's Neighborhood? It the coolest thing, they took the puppet kingdom that Mr. Rogers used to visit and made it into a kids cartoon. I got to see an episode today and it was super cute... the things you learn while decorating cookies 

So when my friend called and wanted Daniel Tiger themed cookies for her darling little girl, Reagan's first birthday I jumped on Google and started looking it up. These were fun and colorful and the look on her face when she took her first "lick" of Daniel Tiger was worth all the sugar in the world 

Warner Brothers... meet Disney.

My newest order was for an old college friend that contacted me for a quick last minute favor. Her mom is celebrating her 60th birthday on Thursday and the family is having a surprise party for her in Kentucky. As if the party wasn't enough, they are also surprising her with a trip to Orlando so she can visit the new Wizarding World of Harry Potter at Universal Studios and visit Disney World... thus the Mickey meets Harry cookies :) I wanted to try and tie them all together so I carried the same colors thru most of the cookies. I love the way Harry came out. Harry and the Mickey with the buttons are the only un-altered cookies... all the other ones were custom made. The cupcakes came out super cute and my husband decided to help me and picked out yellow and red sprinkles out of my rainbow bottle for me, very patient and very awesome of him.

O is for Ollie

The Weisbrods have always been super supportive of my new hobby so when they asked me to make some cookies for little Oliver's 1st birthday I was very willing. What started out as a simple request slowly transformed into something I wasn't quite sure I could pull off... but I did :)

Mookie decided that instead of plain #1 cookies like we previously discussed, I needed to be "challenged" more and that I should make a series of cookies of things that start with the letter "O" like Ollie. All their decorations were going to be orange and Tiffany made the cutest owl cake to go along with the theme. We packaged these up for everyone to take home with them, an "O" cookie on the front and we made a letter "O" and a number "1" cookie that we tinted orange and flavored with orange zest to go along with it. I am super proud of these, everyone thought I was crazy but they were sooooo worth the time. See more pics here :)
