This Week In Cookies

I had a few fun projects to work on this week, after all of the excitement of the cookie swap.

First up were some favors for a baby shower a friend was throwing to welcome a baby girl.  I went with polka dots and roses in pink and teal:

 

Next up, a large order for a set of new baby twins.  I loved the simple design and bright colors their grandmother requested:

 

After a break today and tomorrow, I'm thinking I can squeeze one more holiday batch of cookies in this week...  Happy weekend everyone!

Update -- the birthday girl's mom sent me a picture of the cookies displayed on the cute fall table -- love the setup!

Last weekend I set out for a marathon baking session with a double batch of cookies, all divided up for different fun events this week.

I made another round of leaves, pumpkins, and acorns -- along will some cute purple 1s...feminine but not too girly -- for a coworker's daughter's fall-themed first birthday party today:

 

And because I can't help myself, a (repeat) picture of some leaves.  I love the mini fall cookies!

 

I did a couple of variations of "J" cookies -- some for a new big brother, and some as a practice for a friend's son's upcoming birthday:

I also had fun with these onesie cookies for a sweet new baby that I was excited to meet this week!  Even better yet, his parents still like me even though I brought his big brother his own set of cookies that he gobbled up before dinner.  :)

In addition to the other cookies I worked on this week, I had fun making some fancier fleurs de lis:

I also did a last-minute plate for a co-worker's birthday -- anytime I have leftover dough I make a few balloons and circles and stick 'em in the freezer.  It is a great timesaver and means that even with short notice I can contribute something homemade to a party.  Circles are versatile but I'm not great with freehand design, so I love having the balloons to make it more festive:
