Fantasy Football Team Cookies

So, in one of the weirdest and most awesome orders ever, I got to make a cookie for each team logo of a fantasy football league.  I will admit, I got into these and they took a lot of time, but I think the end result was worth it!

Cars!

My favorite nephew turned one a few months ago and had a little cars birthday party.  We were leaving for vacation in the next few days, so some of his cookies were fondant pressed with the williams' sonoma Cars cutters, but he did get a few Lightning McQueen and Mater cookies.  


Halloween

As I was uploading the pictures (yes, I do about 2 months at a time, I'm a terrible site owner!) I realized that I NEED to learn to take better pictures.  I'd like to think my cookies look much better in person.

Halloween has never been my favorite holiday, except for the abundance of candy, which is never bad, but I had a great time making these halloween platters.  I had several orders, so these are just a few snippets of them.



Shades of Gray Design Cookies

I got to make 'what ever I wanted' for a woman who ordered cookies for her office.  It was lots of fun to try out new (and old favorite) techniques like lace and plaid piping.  My favorite, though, was the blowing dandelions.


Hockey Jersey Birthday


Pittsburgh is a pretty big hockey town, so I'm surprised that these were my first hockey cookies.  A grandma surprised her grandson with these for his birthday and I bet became his favorite person ever!

Fall Wedding

I made these cookies for a friend who gave to her friend as a wedding gift.  The bride was having a very small wedding and my friend wanted to send her off with some sweets.  I'm happy they turned out well, and was so excited when they shared the professional photos their wedding photographer included them in!


Cowboy boots

I had fun making these boot and hats for a senior hoe-down at my church.  I had to make a large amount, so the key was keeping the design simple but fun.  



Teal Wedding

Another teal wedding platter.  I was very happy with how these turned out, especially the cakes!










Simple Elmo Cookies

A very basic elmo cookie, the hardest part is getting the eye/nose proportions correct.
