These cute little dog bone cookies were for Sassy's son whose third grade class has been reading the book "Because of Winn Dixie". The cookies were peanut butter. I haven't read the book, but apparently the peanut butter has something to do with it. Very cute idea, I thought, and my cute-as-pie niece agreed.
And then she was all tuckered out and found a comfy spot on the floor to take a quick nap.
My very good life long friend, photochick, had a beautiful baby boy about a week and a half ago. I wanted to take some goodies to the hospital for her and decided to try out a new recipe. I baked yellow cupcakes with bakeable cream cheese filling that had miniature chocolate chips in it. I iced some of the cupcakes with white buttercream and some with chocolate. She probably noticed that in a box that should hold 24 cupcakes, some were missing. I HAD to try one and so did my husband and the boys. We all agreed...delicious! I really think this combination would be an excellent cake as well.
I got pictures of the cupcakes...not to exciting. Photo said that I should have cut one open and photographed it that way. Yes that would have been an excellent idea except I didn't think of it. We don't call her photochick for nothing.
I also made some sugar cookies in honor of baby boy's arrival.
I remember before we had our first son and I said the word onesie in conversation with my husband. He was puzzled by that word and thought that I made it up. He said that there was no such thing and it's just called a baby t-shirt. Well after five years, two kids and lots of onesies later, it's just another word for him. He makes me laugh.
I made these cookies to go with this baby shower cake.
These were fun sugar cookies done for another good "chick" friend, photochick. They turned out really cute, I think. I cut out the apple and then cut out separate little hearts for the leaf that's on top of the cookie. These were cookie pops or sugar cookies on a stick, whichever you prefer. They were decorated with royal icing and completed with wrapping and a ribbon.
I'm a little late? Yes. But I still want to show you my Easter goodies. I hope your Easter was wonderful and a time of remembering our Saviour and His amazing love for us.

Is it Spring yet? I'm not sure, but it feels like it to me. I love Spring. It's my favorite season, so for my Aunt's birthday my mom wanted me to do a cookie bouquet for her and we decided Spring would be the theme. I made some flowers, a couple of butterflys and some sunshine smiley faces.
Happy Birthday Aunt Sammie!!
And because she LOVES sugar cookies, I made some extra without the stick.
Last week was full of Valentine goodies. They were mostly for the kids and their friends and a good opportunity to try a few different things. First of all I made cupcake ice cream cones for my youngest guy's friends at his sitter's. They were red velvet cake and whipped cream cheese icing.
My sister also made some for the kids at church.
Of course I couldn't let a holiday go by without sugar cookies so I did some for Big Man's whole class and a few for his teacher.
I'm a little bummed that the holidays are over and we're back to the "real" world. Our Christmas was great and it's just a little sad that it's over. So I thought I would share a couple more Christmas goodies just because I don't want to let go quite yet. ;-)
This is a present cake with a reindeer sitting on the side done for, none other than, Ms. Kelly. The decorations and the reindeer were all marshmallow fondant.
We decorated (the kids and I) some cookies like these for Santa and some other very special people over the holidays.
I also did a super cute non Christmas themed cake on Christmas Eve. It was all boy for a little boy's birthday so check back later this week.
This is a unique cookie bouquet with two purposes. The first purpose was to wish happy birthday and the second was to make the very exciting announcement of a new baby on the way. So I pulled my creative cap out and made some balloon cookies and a cupcake cookie to say "Happy Birthday" and some baby feet and a teddy bear (which is hard to see in the photo) to represent a new baby. I also threw in a double heart for fun.
I sparkled the balloons up a little with some pearl dust. I love that stuff!
Have a great weekend!
A very good friend of mine had a birthday a couple of weeks ago and an out of town friend of hers asked me to make her a cookie bouquet. We decided to go with a theme very dear to her heart. Her Lady Cats basketball.
