Baby Shower, Jungle Animal Cookies~

I made these jungle animal cookies for a sweet, baby shower.  I was SO tempted to add bows to some of them but the momma-to-be didn't find out the gender of the baby, so I held back. 

Somebody, please order these with bows...or better yet, bow-TIES!!!  I'd love that!!  ; )

                 Have a grrr-eat weekend!! xo

Pinwheel Cookies for a Spring Baby Shower~

Here's a sneak peek at a beautiful baby shower I attended this past weekend.  The mom-to-be is my friend and photographer, Nicole.  As you can see by these pictures, she's SO talented!!

Nicole had asked me to make pinwheel cookies to coordinate with her spring themed, gender neutral shower.  I wanted to make them realistic and was more than happy with the results...Nicole made these cool stands for the cookies by securing a little, white picket fence to a serving tray.  She packed the bottom with foam, then covered it with moss. {clever!!!}  I just LOVE the way everything turned out!! 

Nicole popped a few of the paper pinwheels she made into the cookie display, can you tell the difference?  I think a few of her guests thought she was kidding when she told them that they were cookies!

I hope to do a tutorial on these in the near future!  They were "wheely" easy to make!!  ; ))

Teeny Tiny Apron (A baby shower cake)

Here's a cute baby shower cake I made for a woman who has a cooking blog.   It's a mini apron but depending how you look at it, could also be a bib!?  {I'd just have to attach the straps to the top instead of the sides.}

A little bow...just in case the cake wasn't girly enough!  : )

Fondant baby bracelet.  It's actually strung on thin cording...

I'm off to work on another cake! xo

Sports Themed Baby Shower~

I've been really lucky to become acquainted with some pretty AMAZING "party girls" lately. Most recently, I had the opportunity to work with the VERY talented, Nancy from A to Zebra Celebrations. Nancy hosted and styled an impressive baby shower for her close friend. Take a look~

        ~This invitation sets the mood for the whole party~
  How do you get so much cuteness into a sports themed party?!?  Way to go Rebecca! (Fresh Chick Design Studio).

I designed the cookies with the invitation in mind.  I had so much fun with these!

Nancy & mommy to be, Tricia... Soo adorable that even their outfits coordinate with the party~ that, my friends is attention to detail!!
