Baby Onesies

I've had a few baby shower orders lately.  Here's a couple that I managed to get pictures of.  I've been so busy with everything that I'm finding it difficult to take a picture.  ;)

Bachelorette Cookies

These were so fun!  My first bachelorette set.  I was excited to get the order and experiment with some designs.  So many possibilities with corsets. Thanks Jenny, hope you girls enjoy them.  :)

Aidan's 1st Birthday

Our "little buddy" turned one last week.  It was as much fun for Kate as it was for Aidan with all the celebrating, sugar, friends and family.  I spent the weeks prior baking, and making decorations.  I go a little over board for the 1st birthday, but all future birthdays will be small and simple. I felt at times like I was planning a small wedding reception.  It all turned out so nicely, and I wouldn't have changed a thing.  Thank you to everyone who shared in our day!  We are blessed to have wonderful family and friends. 

The theme I choose was a outdoor woodland concept.  It was loosely incorporated.  I used lots of greens and orange in my decorations (no pictures, bummer). Painted little birdhouses and placed them on tables with moss rocks and the dessert table carried the theme as well. We rented a cabin at a local park which had a cozy fireplace and wood grain throughout. 

Aidan is happy to eat his owl cake! 

My dessert table.  I covered the letter A in moss to keep with the outdoorsy/cabin theme.  I took the photos a few days prior and had them printed quickly at Walgreens (2 hrs). 

 Found a great way to use my raspberry sugar that I bought from Spice Merchants.  Topped on some shortbread, it is delicious!

 Owl smash cake.  Great idea from Parents magazine.  It was fun to create and easy!!  (I swear, I spent less than 2 hours on this, and cakes are not really my thing).

 S'more cupcakes.  A.Ma.Zing!!!

 

Whoopie Pies, always a winner!

 Sugar Cookies.  I had no time to spend on fancy sugar cookies this time around.  Simple, yet tasty. 

 Chocolate Bears! 

 I have perfected my chocolate chip cookie recipe!  I feel confident that it is the best. :)

 Cinnamon Roll Cookies.  Yes, these are cookies. I used an vietnamese cinnamon, from Spice Merchants, and the aroma was everything a perfect cinnamon should be.

More Valentines

Batman

These cookies were so fun to make.  I printed the batman logo and then traced the bat with an edible marker on to each individual cookie and then iced it.  There were a few steps involved, but I love the precise look in the end.  Freehanding this would have given me a headache!  They are for a wonderful repeat customer.  I did his bowling cookies last year! 

Happy Birthday Gavin!

Yummy

I tried this easy chocolate cookie recipe today, since I was short on time but was having a strong cookie baking craving.  Straight from Sugarbelle's latest post these are seriously easy, quick and delicious.  Plus, I love the flavor resemblence to cupcakes.  It could almost be a cupcake cookie.  One thing I did notice is that if you overbake or underbake there is a big difference.  My first batch was very moist and chewy and the second batch I cooked a couple minutes longer and it turned out very light, slightly crunchy.  Delicious either way.
