My friend Andrea in Virginia ordered these for her mother-in-law's birthday.....each cookie represented something special. Such a cute idea!
These were for a jungle-themed baby shower, made to coordinate with the invitations. I LOVED doing these....loved the colors, the animals, everything. :)
My sweet music teacher from elementary school, Mrs. Riddle, contacted me to make jewelry-themed cookies for a Premier Jewelry party she was hosting. I was so, so excited.....I had never done this type of cookies before, and I couldn't wait to try them. They were so much fun to do! I used some of the pieces of Premier Jewelry for inspiration, as well as a few of my own jewelry.
Thank you so much Mrs. Riddle!! It was SO great to see you again!! :)
These were for someone who was having an ornament party for friends! They were really fun to do. :)
Some cute little snowment and Santas
My first Hannukah cookies!
A platter for my friend Alison to take to a family Christmas party. She definitely wanted snowmen, Santa bellies and reindeer, and she gave me creative liberty to do whatever else I wanted to put on there as well, so I had fun with this one!
Thank you to all of my sweet and wonderful cookie customers! :)
I wish I could post cookies on here as soon as I make them, but I just usually don't! I do post them a little more frequently on Facebook, if anyone wants to take a look over there! It's 'The Chic Cookie' (of course) :)
Here are some recent cookies:
Thanksgiving tray for my friend Tina :)
Fruit tray for a Strawberry Shortcake birthday party! I have no idea why this and some of the other pictures are sideways--I wish I could fix it......but I have no idea how!
And finally, the first of many Christmas cookies to come!
You don't have to turn your head to see this one ;)
Christmas platter for an office Christmas party......Santa's belt inspired by Sugarbelle, and reindeer inspired by The Baking Sheet!
These were for my sons' pre-school/MDO Thanksgiving luncheon. All the parents usually sign up to bring food, and their teachers asked me to bring cookies. Guess they know me well. :)
I love the little turkeys, made using a flower cutter. Lest you think I am creative and such a genius for having thought of that, let me tell you that I actually did not think of that. :) Sugarbelle did, of course. I love her creative use of cookie cutters! Of course now it seems completely obvious that a flower cutter should double as a turkey, right? ;)
This set was for a soccer party--soccer balls, and soccer jerseys (some made to match the jersey, and others with the team name). This was my first time doing soccer balls, and they were a little harder than I thought they'd be! But luckily I think they ended up resembling a soccer ball for the most part. :)
I made thirteen dozen cookies this week--all Halloween. :) I am a little worn out, but it was fun. Last night after I finished, I was ready for a break from cookies for a few days, and here I am today already wanting to do some more! I am definitely crazy :)
Here are some of the ones I did:
I loved the witch's legs--they were from a tutorial from Sugarbelle (of course!) I had done some in a previous set that I had seen on a Halloween card (I get some great ideas in the card aisle at Target, lol), but those I had just done on a square cutter. I loved how she used an upside-down baby onesie for these. The pumpkins on the cake stand was another idea from a card--I loved the cake stand, but wanted to make it more Halloween-ish, so I put a pumpkin on it instead of a cake. The coffin is from Sugarbelle, too. :)
Love these eyeballs! Kinda gross but so fun! :)
I may try to squeeze a few more in before Monday, so we'll see if I can do it!
My friend Kerry ordered two dozen cookies for her son's game this weekend. She asked for bats, balls, gloves and the letter 'P' for the Phillies. I was so excited since I loooove baseball and have been wanting to try some baseball cookies forever! I looked at some pictures online of some gloves to try and get an idea of how they should look, and using my sketches and inspiration from Sweet Sugarbelle, this is how they turned out. I also got lots of ideas for the bats from Flickr. I added a little baseball to the 'P'. Overall, I think the set turned out pretty cute. :)
Thanks Kerry!! It was so good to see you again! Jake and I had so much fun :)
It seems I just keep getting behind on updating the blog, so I'll do like last time and just put all the recent cookie pictures in one post!
These were for my friend Tina, who ordered two dozen Halloween cookies :)
She also ordered six dozen cookie bites, which I was really excited to put in my little plastic tubes!
My sweet friend Heather that I used to work with requested favors for her daughter's birthday party, all in light pink and brown. I love those colors!
Some more cookie bites--this time with some "sparkle" :)
These were for my friend Alison, who was throwing her sister a carnival-themed wedding shower. I got inspiration for these from Maryann, the Cookie Artisan! (I wish I would have taken this picture during the day, though, since the lighting would have been way better! But I really loved how they turned out :))
Whew! That's it for now :) Coming up in the next few weeks......baseball cookies, and lots more Halloween!
My name is Libby, and I have always loved anything sweet! :) I especially love making cookies, and have so much fun doing it. Please feel free to e-mail me at libby@mtubb.com if you would like me to make cookies for your special occasion, or even "just because"!
