Birthday with SHINE Decorated Cookie Collection

I love to fit an updated birthday cookie set in between all the seasonal cookies.....just to try out new cutters, techniques and products for one of the most common cookie needs around.....BIRTHDAY! 

For this set, I chose to feature silver with pretty blues and a touch of peach. 

Hopefully this set finds one of you with a birthday close by so you feel the birthday love and enjoy the sentiment. I wish I could send your the cookies through the computer/phone screen. :)

 
 
 

Navy & Pink Birthday Decorated Cookie Collection

I wanted to make birthday cookies for a special friend who is sensitive to gluten. Instead of using my grain-free cookie recipe, I decided to try subbing gluten free flour blend for the regular all-purpose flour in the CookieCrazie Sugar Cookie recipe (cup for cup). The cookie dough turned very similar to my regular recipe and they baked up with sharp edges just like normal. YEAH!

This set included several new shapes and I enjoyed using the Sail Away Sprinkle Mix from Sweets & Treats as the color combo for the entire set.

Birthday Cake Decorated Cookie Collection

It's time to celebrate with CAKE!
Here's a whole set of birthday cookies highlighting the event with sweet fluffy cake.

The cool part about this cake celebration is that you don't even need a fork. ;)

 

Neon Sign Styled Birthday Decorated Cookies

I'm loving this neon sign style of cookies.
It's simplicity and whimsical results get me everytime.
Why not use it to celebrate a birthday?


It all began with this set of coffee related cookies shown below.
Check out the link for a tutorial on how to create the style.

You may or may not be seeing this technique again in future cookie sets..... ;)

Personal Side


More Christmas around here.
The two cookie sets I made this week are some of my favorite cookies ever.
I'm super super excited to show them here on the blog. :)

Lots of things going on......
The biggest news......my daughter, Allison, is getting married.
I'm happy for her.....but hesitant.
They are young.....minimal jobs.....no plans to further their skills.
But at the same time.....it's time for her to get on her own.
So I'm growing in to the "happy mother-of-the-bride" place.
The wedding is at the end of May. 
That should be interesting since I'm going to Italy at the beginning of May.
:)

Thanksgiving......two weeks away. Oh my!
I'm excited. Most of my family will be here to celebrate.

Christmas decorations start going up around here next week.
Now that I've got the bulk of my Christmas cookies made for the blog......
I can plunge into decorating the house.
Christmas music will be blaring.....and this house is going to be glowing soon. :)




Instagram photos for this week:


Happy Friday!

A small peak at one of my Christmas projects I just finished up this week. :)

THIS is creating a heavenly gingerbread smell in my kitchen right now.
Mmmmm....:)

Last week I strung cookie lights for the "tree"
....next week I'll string lights for the real trees around the house. :)

Decorating the Christmas Tree..... ;)
