Sugar Cookie Show-and-Tell: Baby Love

Baby Shower cookies are some of my favorites, they are always cute and fun and I typically get to try something new when designing.  This set was no exception, the host was very open to me trying a new technique of painting some cake topper cookies for a little girls baby shower .  Love this new skill to add to my arsenal, especially the vintage look it gives!  Also did some fun onesie favors with a sweet little vintage inspired bib.  Welcome baby!

Sugar Cookie Show-and-Tell: Good Luck with a Cherry (Blossom) on Top!

Its hard to say goodbye, but a little easier when there are cookies.  These Cherry Blossom cookies were for a good luck party for a young grad about to embark on a new adventure in life.

Sugar Cookie Show-and-Tell: May the Cookie Be With You

I have been hoarding a set of Star Wars Cookie Cutters for years, and was so excited to get then out and give them a whirl for a very cool kid celebrating his 6th Birthday.

Sugar Cookie Show-and-Tell: Sew Cute!

There is a new little shop in Vienna called the Heartfelt Craft Shop - kids (and adults!) can learn to sew and craft and even hold parties.  It's the kind of place I would have LOVED when I was a little girl, so I was thrilled to bake some sewing themed favors for a special little girl who was having her 8th birthday party at Heartfelt.  I think they turned out pretty cute if I do say sew myself.

Sugar Cookie Show-and-Tell: Busy Bee

Been a little slow to post a few more of the late summer orders we filled.  Took a family vacation followed by buying and moving to a new house, which shut down the kitchen for a few weeks.  We managed to squeeze out a few last minute cookies, including these Bees for a women's golf tournament group called the Queen Bees.

Sugar Cookie Show-and-Tell: Shopkins, say what?

Me: So, what kind of cookies would your little girl like for her birthday party? Rainbows? Ponies?

8 yo's mom: she LOVES shopkins! 

Me: shopping? Cute! So maybe some bags and a credit card and....

8 yo's mom: no SHOPKINS! You know, tiny little plastic figurines that look like food and everyday items.  

Me: hmmm.  (And seriously thinking this is some random obscure toy that this one kid found on a trip to holland or something).  

Then I looked them up.  Um, did you all know about these crazy little toys? I've clearly been under a rock (or a large cookie) recently.  These things are taking the toy world by storm.  I swear some crazy old guy started this craze to make up for investing millions in beanie babies in the 90's.  But I digress. I needed to make shopkins cookies for a sweet 8 yo. Cookie somebody, tickety-tock and something called a Gemma Stone. She was happy, so I was too. 

Sugar Cookie Show-and-Tell: the BIG time

Our Largest order here at DecoBake had us on a 5-day cookie bender.  We mixed, rolled, baked, cooled, iced, decorated, bagged and tagged our little hearts out to fulfill an order for over 800 cookies. It was a great experience, and we were thrilled to deliver the order to the National Rural Utilities Cooperative Finance Corporation, who over two days hosted both the Youth Leadership Council and had their annual Board Meeting. The NRUCFC events team was spectacular to work with and we loved the experience of a such a large scale order.

And just in case you were curious what 800 cookies looks like in process...
