Off to celebrate all three this weekend! Back next week after coming down from cloud 9 to show you how to make these milkshake decorated cookies/party favors/place setting name “cards” I designed and made specially for Tiny Prints using their party invitation, Stately Straws, for inspiration. Have a sweet and fun weekend!
Before I get into my latest Tushie Cookies, I’d like to welcome my Tri-Delta sisters who may be visiting. I’d love to connect with you so send me an email to say hello and introduce yourself and I’ll say hello back! I’m thrilled to have you here! Welcome. Back to cookies… When I made my original Tushie Cookies for my niece’s wedding, I had no idea they would be pinned and re-pinned thousands of times. I’m amazed that post continues… [Read More]
I noticed last week was Teacher Appreciation Week for our local schools. It brought back good memories of classes winding down and students anxiously awaiting summer vacation.

Last weekend, I had the pleasure of co-hosting my sister-in-law’s surprise 60th birthday party with her husband – my brother, on his behalf, along with their son and his wife. What was unique about the planning of this party, was the first step of the planning process had to take place while my brother and his wife were in Australia visiting their daughter. My nephew and his wife who live in Seattle, had a great idea to find a home… [Read More]
These cookies have been cordially invited to Diana’s bridal shower. The bride loves fresh flowers and natural accents in sage green and soft yellow. Romantic touches on the leaves. Soft yellow edible glitter was sprinkled on the petals while the icing was wet and white pearlized powder was brushed on the entire cookie after the icing had dried. In keeping with Diana’s concern and love for the environment, I chose plantable paper to make the bride and groom tags. Wild… [Read More]
Surfs Up! I’ve been a busy bikini designer lately. In fact I made over 100 Bikini Tushie Cookies for my son’s fraternity’s fund raiser. The event was a friendly Best Dance Crew competition between the college’s sororities to benefit the local Big Brothers and Big Sisters organization. These girls sure knew how to twerk with all the other hip hop moves on the stage. And these ladies had the moves! Don’t know what twerking is? You’ve seen it but you… [Read More]
Chocolate might reign supreme as the sweet choice for Valentine’s Day but if something lighter tickles your fancy, meringue heart cookies just might make your heart go all aflutter. Made with ingredients most of us already have on hand in our kitchens, the ingredients are simple: egg whites, cream of tartar, granulated sugar (either ‘super fine’ or regular), and vanilla. The pink food coloring for tinting the meringue is optional but soft pink hearts are the language of love on… [Read More]
As the year winds down I wanted to tell you, you’ve made my year merry and bright and I count you among my blessings. Espresso martini decorated cookies. I’m going to be doing more of this over the next couple of weeks… … so I’ll see you again after the brief holiday intermission. 🙂
Last weekend, we, along with other Theta Chi parents, had the pleasure of spending a special parents’ weekend with our sons. I made a few batches of chocolate chip cookies and Theta Chi cookies with Greek letters and the fraternity flower – the red carnation. The Greek letters are made from thinned royal icing that has been allowed to dry and harden. They peel off the waxed paper. I then placed them on top of the white wet royal icing…. [Read More]
