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!)

Happy Birthday Basics

My favorite sister-in-law turned 25 last week and requested a plate of birthday cookies.  I'm always happy to oblige those requests, especially when I can just do whatever I like.  I went pretty basic on these cookies, but I think it's always a good idea to have a basic birthday/wedding/etc platter idea in your back pocket for last minute events.  My normal cookies take me about 4 hours to decorate 2 dozen (I'm a little slow, and a lot OCD about cookies), but I whipped up these 18 cookies start to finish in an hour, using leftover royal icing.  Add in a few hours drying time and you can make cookies in the morning for an evening party.  These are vanilla almond cookies with almond butter royal icing in purple, yellow, and black.

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.  

Purple Elephants on Parade

This is a birthday platter for a fan of elephants and purple.  Couldn't get much more fun. :)  I made mostly elephants (2 in cutter), with a few cupcakes mixed in and the platter is topped off with Happy Birthday cookies.  I hope they enjoy them!

The cookies were vanilla, they were frosted with vanilla butter royal icing.  

Tangled Cookies

I love doing kids birthday cookies because they always have such fun themes.  These are cookies inspired by the movie Tangled.  They are made with a custom cutter and in a vanilla/almond and chocolate mix.  They are iced with royal icing and the accents are marshmallow fondant.  

The towers are a little more than 5 inches tall and $2.50 each, the rest of the platter follows my normal pricing schedule.

Classic Winnie-the-Pooh Cookies

Winnie-the-Pooh Cookies for a baby (girl) shower done in antique pink, yellow, and tan, with green and ivory honey pots.

This is a platter of 4 dozen, half chocolate/half vanilla.  Iced with vanilla/almond royal icing.  This platter follows my normal pricing schedule.
