Kyle & Ke-hsin's Wedding Cookie Collection

My son, Kyle, and his fiance, Ke-hsin, got married rather quickly in January. Since the plan was to move to California as soon as possible to start a newly secured job, a courthouse wedding was the perfect scenario.

With such a short and sweet solution, I still wanted to make them some special cookies for their special day. The best part about this set of cookies was that several of the shapes were from cutters Kyle made for me with the 3D printer these last several months. How sweet that he was indirectly involved in the making of his wedding cookies.

Cookies made for loved ones on a special occasion…..the BEST!

Congratulations Kyle & Ke-hsin! I love you so much. ❤️

Finn's Lumberjack First Birthday Decorated Cookie Collection

It's hard to believe, but my first grandchild has turned one year old already! He was born November 2016 and suddenly one year rapidly went past us, and he turned ONE! Wow.

My Finn (Finnegan Asher) is all boy. And he's super precious. (Spoken by a new grammy....) He was born premature (34 weeks) at 4.1 lbs and things were a bit scary on his birthday. My daughter was in critical condition and they had to deliver Finn in an emergency. But praise God, he has grown and developed well this last year and is all over the place now. You'd never know by looking at him that he was so small when he was born.

I've enjoyed decorating cookies for many many years now......but nothing tops making cookies for my grandbabies. What a joy it is to dive in there and create memorable cookies for their very special days. I count it such a privilege for the opportunity.

Happy Birthday Finn! 🎉🎂🎈  We love you so much. ❤️

Lumberjack Cookie Cupcake Picks

My daughter decided to throw a lumberjack themed first birthday party for my first grandchild. While planning it, we decided that it would be fun to add smaller cookie toppers to the cupcakes. I had never done this before, but I was excited to try it out.

My inspiration for cupcake pick cookies came from seeing this sign cutter and thinking that I could make a wood grain sign and personalize it for Finn's birthday.

But then, I couldn't just stop there. (I rarely ever do....) I added some additional smaller cookies that would fit well as toppers too..... two different evergreen trees, an axe, and a small simplified lumberjack face.

Cupcakes and decorating with buttercream icing is not my forte, but I always give it my best shot with each family event. These were made a little easier by adding decorated cookies to the cupcake tops. Now that's something I can handle!

And they were a big hit. People loved getting BOTH a cupcake and a cookie when choosing a treat. 

And best of all......it was a grand and wonderful party for my sweet first born grandson, Finnegan Asher.

Puffy Stitched Heart Decorated Cookies

I've had a photo saved from several years back of little fabric hearts that have been stuffed to make them "puffy" and then stitched around the edges. I've attempted numerous times to emulate them, but this time, I think I finally nailed it. 

I've done my best to incorporate thickened glaze into my list of favored mediums. It really does hit the spot for certain designs that just don't work any other way. If you add lots of powdered sugar to glaze icing, it eventually becomes something you can mold in your hands. It's still sticky, but doable.

I'm so glad it worked for these puffy hearts. The moldability provided a way to make the stitch holes right after putting the glaze on the cookie. It gave exactly the effect I was going for! 👍
