Bachelorette Party Cookies 2.0

Bachelorette Cookies

When I was first told that the order being placed was for a bachelorette party, I cringed a little - I'm not going to lie. When you Google "bachelorette cookies" you get some graphic, highly detailed, not-so-nice things. If you don't believe me, do it, and don't say I didn't warn you. 

Good news though, the accompanying request was for lingerie cookies. Due to life's crazy ways, they aren't exactly what I wanted, but they still turned out pretty stinking cute:

And black bras too, you get the idea. Anywho, this was my first "big" order, and it included cupcakes, that I iced for the first time in my life:

Not too shabby, right?! And LOTS of packaging, we know my feelings on that: 

All-in-all, I loved them, so did my sous chef, and so did the girls who received them. Good stuff :)

Oh yes, and a pupdate:

It's been a busy run, but I just want to say that the weather is good, I planted spring flowers, great things are happening to good people. Life feels good right now :)

Balloons, and Rings, and Lingerie, OH MY!

Great news...three orders!  

Order #1: Birthday cookies for the Mies twins.  Below is a fun little iPhone photo of the colors I prepped for the balloon pops I will be finishing tomorrow.  For your viewing pleasure I have also posted the inspiration photo they sent me from an Etsy shop:

Order #2: Bachelorette Party....this order is a doozie.  5 dozen cookies and 4 dozen cupcakes, yes, cupcakes.  Have I done them for orders before? No. Are they hard? No.  Will I do them again in the future? Probably, but cookies are way more fun.  The theme here is "country chic" which I admit, I am not sure what that means but I get to work with purples and lace to recreate something like these little guys I found on Pinterest:

Order #3:  Engagement cookies in the bride's colors of turquoise and yellow.  Rings have been requested, and I am thinking I may do some hearts as well.  Mainly because I am struggling with figuring out how to work turquoise and yellow into rings successfully.  Again, some "Pinspiration" to hold you over:

And finally, puppy update...Conclusion: she is very sweet and very smart.  However, we are entering the terrible twos and she got in trouble three times today.  For those counting that is way above her average.  Potty training is going fairly well, she goes out at least 10 times per day, but she is making it through the night now which is really nice.  Overall, I would say our success rate is around 90%, and we have had her for roughly 10 days, so that isn't bad in my book.  She is learning her name, and has been on a leash walk twice, she can make it just over one block and she's done, but you have to remember, she is just a baby!
