Happy Valentines Day Decorated Cookie Collection

View fullsize

Valentines Day is such a fun holiday to decorate cookies..... for multiple reasons. First of all, it is the day to express love, and since cookies do that every day of year, it just makes sense to make cookies for the ones we love and cherish. And then, there is a bazillion ways to decorate heart cookies and the like to customize them to each color combination and style. 

I love choosing a sprinkle mix made by Sweets & Treats and then making a whole slew of cookies to match it. For this set, I used the Sweet Treats mix and added some red into it too. :)

I hope you can feel the love and enjoy the Valentines Day holiday. I'm sending lots of love within this blog post to all of you....

Navy & Pink Birthday Decorated Cookie Collection

I wanted to make birthday cookies for a special friend who is sensitive to gluten. Instead of using my grain-free cookie recipe, I decided to try subbing gluten free flour blend for the regular all-purpose flour in the CookieCrazie Sugar Cookie recipe (cup for cup). The cookie dough turned very similar to my regular recipe and they baked up with sharp edges just like normal. YEAH!

This set included several new shapes and I enjoyed using the Sail Away Sprinkle Mix from Sweets & Treats as the color combo for the entire set.

Sweet on You Valentines Decorated Cookie Collection

View fullsize

It's time to pile on the SWEETS and show your special someone how much they are loved.

I love making sweets, so this theme was super fun to plan and execute.
I guess all cookie decorators are in the business of being "sweet on others".

Let's spread the sweetness and share the love!

Birthday Decorated Cookie Sets

View fullsize

From time to time, I get wind of a friend anticipating a birthday, and decide to create a surprise set for them.

My favorite go-to cutters are:

• Cupcake
• Cake Stand
• Candle
• Confetti (snowman/baby rattle found in Sugarbelle's Shape Shifters set)
• Balloon (pirate face/whale found in Sugarbelle's Shape Sifters set)
• Gift Bag (shopping bag in Gone Shopping Collection from Creative Cookier)

It's super fun to customize the set for the birthday girl/boy's preferences in colors and shapes.

Happy Birthday one and all! ❤️

Cookies for a December Birthday GIRL

Happy New Year everyone!

I can hardly believe that it is 2012. I've written enough today at work to know it is real......but it still is hard to believe.

We try to prepare for it.....but when it happens, it's almost like.....wait a minute!!!!.....where did last year go? I want it back! :)

I promised I'd show the birthday cookies I came up with for Kayle, my son's girlfriend....who also has a birthday in December. It was fun to add the pink accents.

Oh boy.....this week I get to go back into the kitchen and start working on cookies. Yeah! I'm excited. My little "vacation" refreshed me and lit my fire again.................. Look out SNOW/WINTER related cookies and VALENTINES cookies.....here I come!
