Fleur De Lis

These are samples for a repeat customer. She was trying to decide about what type of cookie to use for wedding rehearsal favor. This morning, after much consideration, she has finally chosen the large black and white circles. I am so glad to have her business and this is my 2nd wedding order of the season. Hooray!!!

Animal Cookies

These are my very first animal cookies - I donated them to the Relay for Life Event. I liked them and they were a HUGE hit. Especially the monkeys. Apparently monkeys are all the rage with teenage girls. You should have seen them squealing and jumping up and down.

Playing Card Cookies

These are my first attempt at playing card cookies. I was very pleased, because I used a new technique called "royal icing transfer" which worked pretty well - except for the colors bled a little bit. Naturally Red and Black bleed more than most other colors!

The rest of Easter

There are so many more photos to share, but since I am so behind in updating this blog I am only posting the basics. My sister LISA and my daughter and niece and I baked TONS of Easter cookies. The chocolate eggs above are the girls' artisitic works!! There was almost no room to sit in her car going back to Charlotte because she had so many orders!!! We had such a good time. I was tired afterwords but so thankful for the MOST successful holiday yet.

St. Patricks Day Cookies

I had said that I wasn't going to bake any St. Patricks Day cookies... RIIIIGGGHHHHTTT! I couldn't stand it. I made the most colorful batch for a big meeting here at our hospital. I know hearts don't really go with St. Patricks day, but it was for our Cardiac Cath Lab, so I threw a few in. It was great fun and I am looking forward to Easter!
