I Love Fall

This past fall we drove up to Connecticut for a family reunion.  It was great to see family that we hadn't seen in a while and it was a great opportunity to make some fun fall cookies! 

The small tray above went to my work friends.  We had leaves, pumpkins and red and green apples with chocolate chip rolls outlining the tray.

The tray below went to the reunion.  The Sugar cookies were gone in a second! 

Hungry little Caterpillar

When my son was "Marvelous Me" at his preschool I came in to teach a lesson.  We read The Very Hungry Caterpillar by Eric Carle, made a caterpillar craft and then they feasted on these fun butterfly and apple with a caterpillar cookies! 

 See the little caterpillar on there - I love that!
 One of my favorite quotes, "Just when the caterpillar thought the world was over, it became a beautiful butterfly."

Baby Onsies

 A friend of mine from work was excited for her granddaughter to arrive and I made these cute onsie cookies for the baby shower!
 These included a tag, extra tag decor and a ribbon!
Welcome to the world baby Harper!

BOO!

I made these super cute scary ghosts for my son's preschool Halloween party this year. Unfortunately Hurricane Sandy ruined it and it was cancelled.  Since I had these guys individually bagged already I decided to go "reverse" trick or treating and we knocked on our neighbors doors and handed these spooky guys out!  These would be great on a stick too!

Texas/Cowboy - Take 2

Here is the whole tray of Texas themed cookies!

YEE HAW! Cowboy/Texas Cookies!

When my cousin, Michael, was offered an amazing job in Texas we were all happy for this opportunity but sad that he would be moving far away.  I made these cookies to help send him off to his new adventure!

Cookie Pops, footballs and more!

 My son needed some cookies for his Valentine's day party so I made this round cookie pops! They are individually wrapped with a bow! The kids loved them too!


 These are sugar cookies that I dipped in melted chocolate for a more sophisticated and fun cookie tray!
 This mini tray was for my daughter's "boyfriend" (her babysitters teenage son!).  There are football cookies, hearts, and chocolate chip cookie rolls dipped in chocolate and sprinkled with love.



Finally I put this mini tray together for a group of expectant mothers that I was teaching to make baby food.  There are onsies with happy messages, hearts, and chocolate chip cookie rolls!

Circus Cookies



My nephew, Joey, was turning 1 and we had a circus themed party for him! These are the platters I made with lions, monkeys, elephants (my favorite), clowns, the number 1, and the letter J!






 All wrapped up and ready for the party!

Firetruck 1st Birthday Party!



My friend, Theresa, is celebrating her son's first birthday party at a firehouse and asked me to make some cookies to fit the theme! These will be on a platter with some chocolate chip cookies mixed in!

 Here they are all set up on a platter with chocolate chip cookies mixed in.

 Wrapped up and ready to party!


Happy 1st Birthday Nicholas!
