Cheers! Beer Bottle Cookies for a 40th Birthday & Logo Cookies

This was a rough week but we'll blame it on mercury being in retrograde - crazy things are supposed to happen when mercury is in retrograde like mix ups, missed emails, and things being late. That pretty much summed up this week.

Anyway, these beer bottle cookies were made for a 40th birthday party for my designer who did my logo and website. She wanted to do manly cookies or cookies with her husband's photo so I suggested doing beer bottles. Since she is a designer and actually does a lot of food packaging, I thought it would be great if she designed a beer label with her husband's face on it. I wanted to do an amber colored beer bottle but couldn't figure out how to get that beer bottle look so I just ended up doing a dark brown which went better with the labels anyway. I also wanted to give the bottle some shine but I was having trouble matching the label to the luster dust colors that I had so I just went with a dark brown "bottle sheen" which is too bad because I feel like it is missing a contrast color. I also painted the bottle caps to give it a more metal look. Anyway here they are.


These were some other edible image cookies/school themed cookies I did for Benefit Cosmetics. I think it was for some sort of educational new product launch event they were doing for SEPHORA. They wanted the "Benefit ♥'s SEPHORA" image on the apple but I thought it would look better on notebook paper. They also wanted some glitter in there so they ended up on the apple cookies. And I guess if you're going to have notebook paper cookies you need a pencil cookie to go with it.


Somehow I managed to find ribbon that matched the Benefit pink color - it was a really good match actually and I used to do press checks so I know about color...well sort of.

Tiffany Inspired Cookie Week

I guess it's that time of year to get engaged...these monogram cookies and silver glitter heart cookies were for a Tiffany inspired engagement party.


Here are some pictures of their dessert table - lots of sugar here...yum!



And these cookies below were an engagement present. I think I should have cut out the centers of the diamond ring cookies.

LEGO Ninjago Cookies

I wasn't sure how I'd do these LEGO Ninjago cookies at first but I think they came out pretty well. Here's a picture of my small army of Ninjago Kai cookies. The little guys are being used as cupcake toppers and the big ones as favors.


I wanted to add a little more detail to the rope but decided not to do the face that was supposed to be on the flame - at some point you just have to draw the line.


Here's an image of the LEGO Ninjago Kai character. They have a show on Cartoon Network - it kind of reminds me of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.


Sensei Wu cookies can be seen here:

"C" is for cookie...that's good enough for me...

Cookie Monster Cookies


Poor Elmo and Cookie Monster - my husband actually dropped and broke a lot of my cookies (undecorated thank goodness) so I had to rebake more than half of them!

Big Bad Wolf Cookies / Red Riding Hood Party

I love all these woodland/enchanted forest inspired parties popping up everywhere with all the cool wood stumps and moss covered dessert tables. These Big Bad Wolf cookies below were for a Little Red Riding Hood themed party.  The customer wanted a design that wasn't too scary for the kids so I thought it would be cute to do cookies of the wolf dressed as Grandma. I think he came out pretty cute for a wolf. If I were Little Red Riding Hood, I would probably show him where my grandma lives too!



Monogrammed Pajama Cookies

These pajama cookies were made for a wedding shower pajama party that my sister planned last weekend.
