Corporate Christmas Party

Y'all, I took an awesome order for a corporate Christmas party.  The customer has ordered from me before and knew I liked to do custom creations.  She emailed me several designs of cookies, cupcakes, and cakes and together, we picked out what to make for her office party.

Like most of my orders, many of the treats were a first!  I made some really cool cookies.

These ornament cookies were 99% finished.  I forgot to take a picture of them with their ribbon tied through the hole.  You still get the idea though.   All the ornaments were sprayed with the edible metallic spray.  They looked so good in person!  I added a few dragees on some of the ornaments. 

These mitten cookies also had a hole through them so I could tie them together with string.  The customer found this idea online and I loved it!

And check out these cute little reindeer cookies!  I used a gingerbread man cutter and then just turned the cookie upside down.  These little guys were fairly time consuming with all the light and different colors but they were fun and really cute. 

She also wanted some cupcakes.  

I made some reindeer in snow, Christmas trees, and holly berries on chocolate cupcakes all of which were ideas found online.  Unfortunately I can't take credit for any of these cute ideas.

Finally, I made a beautiful Christmas cake.  This cake was huge!  The base board was 20"x 20"!  

But it's not all real cake.  The bottom square and top round pieces are actually fake.  The only real layer is the middle, striped layer.   She didn't need to feed as many people as this cake would have fed so we just pretended. :)  Everything is made out of sugar except the red ornaments.

This was my last order before Christmas and it was such a fun one to end on.  Everyone loved the treats and I heard it was a great party!

Christmas Treats!

I didn't take very many orders in December.  I booked up rather quickly and I also left myself some room to stop and enjoy the season.  Looking back, I'm so glad I did because I was able to enjoy working on the orders I already scheduled yet not be too overwhelmed.   Plus, I have a little guy at home with lots of holiday activities to do! :)

These cookies were for a holiday cookie exchange party in the neighborhood.  I made extra for my Grandmother too because these are her favorite!  

I really wanted to try the trendy metallic look on the cookies this year and I really like how some of them turned out.  I used an edible spray that you can find at most crafting stores in the baking aisle and lightly sprayed the cookies I wanted to have the metallic look.  If you notice closely on the white "Let it Snow" cookie, you can see some beading starting.  It probably got over sprayed or sprayed too closely.  I've done a little edible spray paint work before, but I have room to improve!  Oh, well, they still turned out pretty nice and it was fun to do.

I love the little Santas!

Next, I had a small order for a girl in the neighborhood for some mini christmas cupcakes!

I hope you had some tasty treats over the holiday break and a wonderful Christmas season!
