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.  

General Birthday

Here are two different birthday platters. One is for twins' first birthday and one was for a 60th birthday.

Mickey Mouse Inspired 1st Birthday

I love the basic colors and style of this mickey mouse set.  I added some white stars with red dots and a few sparkly star minis.  Using the Americolor gel coloring really helps to eliminate the flavor that can come with red and black colors.

The style of these were inspired by Firefly Confections who has some of the most amazing cookies I've seen (check out the Hunger Games birthday cookies!)

Fireman First Birthday

I had lots of fun making this fireman platter for a first birthday.  Believe it or not, all of these cookies are made using the wilton 101 cookie cutter set.  So there's no need for a huge investment into cutters to make fun cookies.  This platter was a mix of chocolate and vanilla cookies with almond butter royal icing.
