I made these cookies to match party goods for a little boys 1st birthday. It was a police theme party in bright primary colors.. The paper goods by Allison Powell designs were used for inspiration for the cookies.

Shabby chic baby shower to welcome Kinslee
My sweet friend Lisa was throwing a shabby chic theme baby shower for her daughter Tyler and I loved making these cookies to match. The colors were so pretty to work with. I used her shower invitation and decorations in shades of aqua, pink, and light coral to match the icing colors . The pregnant belly cookies were inspired by Sweet Dough. Swirl roses inspired from Sugarbelle’s tutorial. Thank You!
Air Force cookies
I have a dear friend who son is in the Air Force. He is leaving for Afghanistan and I made the cookies for his send off party. I am so proud of our military and appreciate all they sacrifice for our freedom.
My Cookie Thought Process
I have a lot of cookie ideas in my head and when I get a request for a certain theme the creative wheels start spinning in my head.
First, I sketch out an idea by tracing the cutter shapes on plain white card stock. Then I get to work with my crayons and colored pencils. I used to love to color when I was a kid! I even strolled though the Back to School aisle at Target for new pastel crayons in yummy colors.
Once I decide on my designs it’s a lot easier to plan out icing colors by looking at my drawings.
New airline uniforms
My daughter Michelle flies for Virgin America. Next week the airline celebrates 5 years of service. To celebrate their anniversary Virgin America has issued all new uniforms for employees. Michelle is so excited to wear the beautiful new pieces I had to make them in cookie form to share with her fellow crew members and supervisors.
You can view photos of the actual uniforms here.
