Sugar Cookie Show-and-Tell: Holiday Cookies with a touch of Glamour

We abandoned our typical Santa faces and Christmas Trees this year to do something a little more elegant.  A close friend was hosting her future in-laws and wanted a dessert to, lets face it, impress them.  I love a good challenge!  Took a cue from my kids Holiday Pictures and went with the elegant black and white, with a little red glamour to make them pop.  The plaid mittens were my favorite!

Sugar Cookie Show-and-Tell: Christmas Minis

Santa loves Cookies, this we know.  He especially LOVES cookies that look like him!  We make these fun Christmas themed minis every December to leave for Santa and his band of merry reindeer.  We can't confirm, but we have a hunch that he may feel extra generous when he sees these!

Sugar Cookie Show-and-tell: 3D Giraffes

Did you say 3D Cookies??  Yes, yes I did.  I've been dying to use some 3D animal cookie cutters I found last year, and a Team Soccer Party for the Yellow Giraffes was the perfect event.  These guys were so cute in person!  Next up are the 3D seals...anyone know a sports team called the Silver Seals...?

Sugar Cookie Show-and-Tell: Pikachu

If you don't know who Pikachu is, then you haven't spent any time with any 6-8 year olds recently.  This is the 2nd request for Pikachu/Pokemon themed sweets this year.  Slightly different takes, but equally happy customers!

Sugar Cookie Show-and-Tell: Teachers Rule!

Its one of the more undervalued jobs out there - Teachers.  They nourish, inspire, encourage and educate our little sponges all year long.  It can be a thankless job, so we decided to thank ours with these cute "Teachers Rule" cookies - bright red apples and adorable little rulers tied together with a fun chalkboard tag.  Thanks Teachers - YOU RULE!

Sugar Cookie Show-and-Tell: Welcome Little Brother

New babies are such a gift to a family! We made these sweet monogram cookies to welcome a new baby boy.   His arrival was important for another little boy in the family, because he became a big brother for the first time!  We celebrated both, and gave big bro his own set of monogram truck cookies to say Congratulations!

Sugar Cookie Show-and-Tell: Hail to the Redskins

Growing up in the Washington DC suburbs, we learned "Hail to the Redskins" in our elementary school music class.  Our pride runs deep, even when our team doesn't exactly give us a lot to sing about.  We created a set of Redskins themed helmet and football cookies for the beginning of the season, where everyones outlook is still sweet.  (*Deco Bake is happy to create these themed sets for YOUR favorite team, too!)

Sugar Cookie Show-and-Tell: Nautical Inspired Baby Shower

We lived at the beach for a few years, we call them the glory days.  Im partial to all things Nautical, especially when it comes to little boys. We did these great cupcake toppers to welcome a new little boy to the world.  The favors (which are unfortunately hard to see), were adorable black lab dog cookies and red stars to match the little cuties new nursery.  Welcome Hayes Daniel!

Sugar Cookie Show-and-Tell: American Girl Custom Order

A great example of a Deco Bake Custom order.  A lovely little girl was all set to celebrate her birthday at the American Girl Store with her friends and wanted some cookies to match her invitation.  We were able to come up with some sweet pink and white flowers as well as an "M" monogram for her guests to enjoy.

Sugar Cookie Show-and-Tell: Wine is Fine

40th Birthdays can feel a little hard to stomach, so we made one a little sweeter with these red and white wine cupcake toppers. A fun group of ladies went on a winery tour in Loudoun County and brought these guys in some delish red velvet cupcakes to toast the Birthday Girl.  Bottoms up!

Sugar Cookie Show-and-Tell: Pink Lemonade

A double dose of sweetness for a joint birthday party for two little girls turning two.  The theme was Pink Lemonade, and the party was full of delicious treats - we were happy to join the fun and made some pink and yellow lemon slices to match the colors of the girls adorable lemonade stands.

Sugar Cookie Show-and-Tell: 3 by the Sea

I always envied kids who had summer birthdays, who got to celebrate outside without the threat of snow.  This lucky little girl gets to have her birthday every year at the beach, which coincides with her families annual trip to the shores of Nags Head in NC.  What could be better, you ask?  How about a fun "3 by the Sea" party, complete with an awesome rice krispies birthday castle!  Topped with our fun cupcake toppers in summery shapes like Anglefish, Sharks, Buckets/Pails and Sea Monkeys.  We hope she had a Whale of a good time!

Sugar Cookie Show-and-Tell: Elsa and Anna Dress Cookies

Lots of detail went into these special request Elsa and Anna Cake Toppers and Cookies for a sweet little girls 4th Birthday party.  She wanted a Frozen cake, but specifically asked for the toppers to look like the matching Elsa and Anna dresses she got for her American Girl Doll....we got a big Princess smile when she saw these!

Sugar Cookie Show-and-Tell: Baseball Toppers

Baseball is fun to watch, baseball cookies are fun to eat.  We did a sporty set of Baseball bat and ball toppers for an end of the season team party.  I think we hit this one out of the park.

Sugar Cookie Show-and-Tell: Funny Farm Friends

Creating cookies for little kids is definitely our favorite thing to do here at Deco Bake. Lets face it, they'd probably be happy with a spoon full of icing, but the smiles we get when they see a character or animal they recognize on a cookie is just really sweet.  These farm animals were for a preschool field day - we kept it simple with some basic shapes and had fun with the colors and details.

Sugar Cookie Show-and-Tell: Earth Day Treats

Between Easter and the 4th of July there is a definite void of acceptable cookie-eating holidays.  We decided Earth Day didn't have nearly enough sweets associated with it and created these yummy guys.  Help save the Earth! Eat more Cookies!

Sugar Cookie Show-and-Tell: Robin's Egg Cupcake Toppers

A fun splatter effect on a gorgeous blue Robin's Egg Cookie for an Easter Brunch.  Small enough to fit as a cupcake topper, so we toasted some coconut and made them cute little nests.

Sugar Cookie Show-and-tell: Spring Dragonflies

We love bugs and insects of all kinds here at Deco Bake.  They are fun to dig up and fun to catch and fun to watch, and we hear they are fun to eat (my son still swears that beetle he ate last year was DEE-licious, Im dubious).  But mostly they are fun to turn into cookies.  These dragonflies were for a spring charity event and we love how vibrant the colors are!
