Office Baby Shower

Another former college roommate of mine was helping host a baby shower for a co-worker.  The shower was going to be at lunch time and have both males and females present.  The mom-to-be didn't really like a lot of pink, so I was given the task of creating a treat to match the plates & napkins, as well as not making it too girly and cutesy.  Talk about a task!

Just kidding.  My friend sent me a text of the plates and realized this order was going to be easy (& cute!).

So this is what I came up with:

These are the cookies.  I ended up packaging them up because she wanted to give them out as favors.

And these are the cupcakes.  Four boxes worth!  The picture quality isn't fantastic because it was late at night and taken with my phone, but it'll do. :)

Thanks for the order Caitlin!  I hope the shower went well!

Welcome Baby W

Erin, the gal who enjoyed this treat at her baby shower, wanted some little cookies to give out at the birth of her baby to visitors, nurses, doctors, etc.  She ordered several dozen pumpkin cookies with the letter W on them for their last name.  They needed to be gender neutral because the baby's gender was a surprise!

I love, love, love how they turned out.   I went with a grey, orange (two different shades), and white with green accents.  I chose polka dots, chevron and stripes with coordinating W's.  I added a bit of glitter just in case it was a girl. :)

I did end up wrapping up each one as well and I wish I took a picture of that--- they were cute!

Welcome Baby W!  

And thanks for the order Erin.  Many blessings to your new little blessing. 

Waiting for Baby B!

My friend Kelly keeps me busy; and I LIKE it!

She recently ordered some decorated butter cookies from me to have on hand at the delivery of her son, Brooks.  She is due any day now so I needed to get them made!  The great thing about these cookies, is that they freeze pretty well.  The icing hardens a bit more than brand-new-fresh, but it's amazing how well they keep once defrosted.

Put them in a ziploc freezer bag and then inside of a plastic or glass food container with locks on the side.  This should keep them safe from freezer burn.  When defrosting, take them out of the container and bag and let them sit on a counter.  Make sure they are not stacked while defrosting.  You should be good to go after that.

We are so excited to meet you Brooks!!!
