Sugar Cookie Show-and-Tell: Valentines Hearts

We like to get the kids in on the decorating action when the treats are for their classmates.  We may find sprinkles in our ears 2 days later, but we love to see the pride on their faces when they get to present their cookies to their friends. Tiny little hearts are perfect for decorating in shades of red, pink, white and turquoise.

Sugar Cookie Show-and-Tell: Pac Man Birthday Cake Toppers

When my brother was 9, my grandmother made him the coolest Pac Mac cake, it had bright blue icing that stained our teeth for days.  This was a fun project for me, I set out trying to recreate the Pac Man cake for his 43rd Birthday, using cookies for the characters.  Those little cherries were my fav!

Sugar Cookie Show-and-Tell: Superbowl Sunday Funday

The SUPERBOWL.  Its become a major Holiday.  You'll probably be huddled around a TV on Superbowl Sunday, even if your team isn't playing.  I watch for the commercials, and I show up with cookies.  These stadiums were a fun addition - love the little sprinkles as spectators!

Sugar Cookie Show-and-Tell: Pac Man Valentines

Fresh off the heels of a successful Pac Man cake, we decided to do something fun for Valentines Day using the same mini cookies.  Packaged up the little pac men and ghosts - threw in a heart and we were A-MAZED at how cute they turned out!

Sugar Cookie Show-and-Tell: Camping with the Cub Scouts

A local cub scout pack holds a fun baking competition every year.  This years theme was "Camping", so we came up with this fun collection. Tents, campfires, pine trees, compasses and marshmallows on a stick...the perfect elements for some outdoor fun!

Sugar Cookie Show-and-Tell: Dinosaurs say RAWR

If you have small kids, chances are you have dozens of plastic dinosaurs laying around. Both of my kids love dinos - I think its the bright colors and fun shapes.  They make great cookies for the same reason - bright colors and lots of cool shapes and sizes.  These dino cookies are were done for a little boys 4th Birthday Party, he was having a Dino Dig at a local Nature Center and these made the perfect favor.  We added some molton lava cakes and dino eggs and you could almost hear them RAWR!

Sugar Cookie Show-and-Tell: Lego my Eggo

The only time we don't appreciate Legos is when we step on them at 2am when trying to let the dog out.  Otherwise, they are a toy that has been a constant joy for our kids since they were babes using those big Duplos to build their first castle.  We love when we can create something special for a child on their birthday - just like this lucky-Lego-loving little boy who got to ring in #8 with these hand-cut cupcake toppers and favors.
