Baby Showers

Wow! Has it been almost a month since my last post?!!  Time flies during the holidays!  Lots of pictures to share!  First, two sets of baby shower cookies.
These were for a little baby who will be named Hunter.  I just love the color scheme on this one!

This second set was for my neice, who is obviously having a little girl.  Once again, love the color combination on this one!  I think it's the fact that I love how brown pairs up so well with a multitude of colors.  I honestly think that brown has become the 'new black'. 

These little baby shoes were oh so fun to do!  I was inspired by the wonderful design of Johnna Philips of Polka-dot Zebra.  I've long admired her sweet little baby shoes, and finally had the chance to make them.  Aren't they just the sweetest little cookies? Here are Johnna's original designs. http://www.flickr.com/photos/polka-dotzebra/4009053162/in/gallery-41254198@N02-72157622989306162/ .

I'm lovin' that brown/green combo here!



Bridal Shower Cookie Tray

Cookies for a bridal shower.....tray and close ups using a variety of techniques.

This was my first time trying a brush embroidery technique.  I was very pleased with the end result.

Just piping on this one.
                                     

I used a combination of stencilling, piping, and sanding sugar on these.

This one had a dusting of sanding sugar too.

After the basecoat dried on this one, I outlined and flooded the diamond shape in the middle, and added piping details.  It gives a bit more dimension to the cookie.

 This one was simple, basecoat, piping, and sanding sugar, (well not really simple, multi-stepped is more like it).  The sparkle doesn't show up too well in this photo, but it was a lovely touch to the whole tray of cookies. They kind of look like pieces of fudge!

And lastly......

A Saints Football Cookie Bouquet

This one was a donation for a holiday auction that raises funds for scholarships for local high school students.
