With the cold front came cookies....

Long time, no cookies. 

I'm going to be honest...I got burned out. I'm finally back to the point that I can look at a cookie without hating it. And boy, I think I really made a winning set to welcome myself back to the game. Not only that, the humidity has been super low with the weather change, which makes decorating SO MUCH easier. Ironically enough, my first request in some time was for Frozen themed cookies. Based on my humble opinion, and votes from my peeps, these may be the best ones yet. I'm pretty proud of these :)

I REALLY love them. I have a second project going, I hope to ice those tomorrow.

They will hopefully look and taste like caramel apples. I got my inspiration from LilaLoa, she is truly hilarious, and talented. You can see them here.

Since its been a while, I thought I would put a puppy photo in here too. She is 10 months old, holding steady at 38.5 pounds, and has effectively chewed through two dog beds since the cold snap....fun times in the terrible two stage.  Here she is, being a good girl, and helping me with the pot roast:

That's is for now, stay warm!

Finished Ring Cookies

Here they are, in the requested shape and colors (turquoise and butter yellow). I'll admit, I was nervous about these, but the customer is happy and that is all that matters.

And, a "pupdate"......growing so fast, she really is a sweet little girl. We don't have all the kinks worked out yet but I'm staying optimistic that we will get there. This was Monday:

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!
