Farm Animal Birthday Cookies

I did a variety of animal cookies for a first birthday featuring a petting zoo of farm animals.  So hard to pick my favorite:

 

 

Happy birthday, Lucy!!

Animal-Themed Birthday

Just checking in with a few pictures from a birthday party a few weekends ago.  :)

I loved doing these cute animals - I've done them before, here!  (Giraffe design from Sweet Sugar Belle, here; other animals from Wilton, here.)

Happy Birthday, Henry!

Tap, tap...is this thing on?  There's definitely been some radio silence around here -- April was busy!

I'm now finally catching up on the pictures and events I made cookies for over the past several weeks, starting with the first birthday of the son of good friends -- I've known Henry's dad since kindergarten.  They requested Michigan State and panda cookies, and gave me some creative license with the rest.

Sadly, I wasn't able to make the party, but they got some great pictures of the cookie tray.  I should hire them to arrange my cookie pictures!

Birthday Cookies

Here are a few pictures from a set of birthday cookies I did for a woman who lives in NYC, using her favorite colors of green and blue as inspiration.  I mixed it up with some NYC cookies -- I'm really getting some use out of my t-shirt and taxi decorations!

The birthday girl loves shoes, so I made an attempt at creating some CL heels:

A Cat In The Hat Birthday

I was so happy to do cookie favors for our nephew Ben's Cat in the Hat-themed joint birthday party (with friend Maia).  Who knew they even made Cat in the Hat bounce houses....

I found the perfect cutter in an Etsy shop, and made hats to package as favors:

I also added a couple of bike cookie cutters for big brother Arthur, who is becoming quite the biker these days...

Happy Birthday, Ben and Maia!

Happy Birthday, Scotty!

What else is a big sister to do...other than embarrass her brother with a birthday post.  :)

Happy (golden) Birthday, Scotty!  See you soon!

NYC Housewarming Party

I loved doing these surprise cookies for a couple who just moved back to New York and were hosting a housewarming/St. Patrick's Day/anniversary/birthday party.  Such a fun assortment of cookies.

I started with some NYC-themed cookies:

We decided that the houses I've done in the past aren't quite appropriate for NYC, so I did some apartment doors:

I did cookies with the couple's initials, and some cupcakes.  I also added in a few shamrocks.

 Happy celebrating!

Birthday Favors

It's always especially fun when I'm making cookies for someone I know, and I was so happy to be asked by a good friend from college to make birthday favors for her niece.  My friend and her sister-in-law (the birthday girl's mom!) decided on airplanes, butterflies, and some 5s.  I had fun picking out the colors and doing these cookies -- here's what I came up with!

Happy, happy birthday, Sasha!

Jungle Birthday Cookies

Through some word of mouth, and a friend of a friend, I had fun working on a set of cookies for a neighborhood boy's second birthday party.

My inspiration was from the set of Wilton cutters I used, and I loved the way they turned out!

Nola Birthday Party

A chance run-in over Christmas in New Orleans led to this fun set of cookies I did for two girls turning 25 who had a party this weekend.

I did initials, numbers, cupcakes, high heels, fleurs de lis, cookies from both girls' alma maters (one of which was mine, too -- Georgetown!).  My favorite idea was a cookie with the Safeway logo -- where the birthday girls met when both families lived in DC years ago.

I packed them all with lots of bubble wrap and was so pleased to hear that they arrived, and to get some pictures from the party.  Happy birthday Raine and Mamie!

 

A Girly Birthday

Last week I did a batch of cookies for a friend's niece who was turning one.  She wanted bright pink, yellow and teal and lots of fun girly shapes.  Here's what I came up with.

I packed them up and wrapped them well as they were traveling via plane with my friend and her one year old.  I was happy to hear that they all made it intact. :)

Cookie Cupcake Pictures

Sharing a few pictures from J's first birthday party -- cake and cupcakes homemade by the birthday boy's mom!
