Kyle & Ke-hsin's Wedding Cookie Collection

View fullsize

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. ❤️

A courthouse ceremony since they needed to move to California for a secured job. It was short and sweet…..and the goal was achieved. They are now married. :)

My son, Kyle, and his lovely bride, Ke-hsin. They are both so happy. ❤️

A little informal family gathering after the courthouse wedding. Sweet memories….

Finn's Lumberjack First Birthday Decorated Cookie Collection

View fullsize

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

View fullsize

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.

Golden Valentines Decorated Cookie Collection

View fullsize

It's funny.....every year I want to do both "formal" and "casual" Valentines cookies. Here's what I came up with for the fancy side of the holiday. haha

Gold always transforms a set of cookies. In fact, when my husband took some of these cookies to work (his co-workers are often the recipients of my projects), many said these were over-the-top of any I'd ever done. I don't know about that.....but I do know that when you add gold to a set, it definitely takes them to a more elegant status.

Starting the season with some golden love..... ❤️
