Personalizing Birthday Cookies: Morgan's 18th BDay Collection (Part 2)

Earlier this week, I shared the

first part of Morgan's 18th Birthday Cookie Collection.

The remainder of the cookie set

has the most defining pieces of her personality and past.

Morgan is a karate black belt.

Introducing Morgan's childhood teddy bear, Bubba.....

or at least my rendition of him

with limited photos and descriptions. :)

Frappucinos.....

a definite favorite of this generation. 

My daughters LOVE 'em. =)

And Morgan's18th Birthday Collection posing together.

Lots to show you this coming week. 

I've got cute baby cookies......

the first of a series on decorating with glaze icing......

a few tutorials thrown in.....

and some fun spring cookies!

What In The World Was I Thinking???

I guess I've gotten a bit cocky. When someone asks me if I can do "such and such" on a cookie......I tell them I will try. I'm going to be much more careful when I say that!

A friend from work wanted me to do some cookies for her little girl's 2nd birthday. I was happy to do them for her......and thought the cute stamp image that she asked me to emulate was no big deal. Boy.....was I wrong. It was quite a challenging image to do.

I won't bore you with all the things that went wrong today......and even though the end product is "OK"......I'm not happy with it. But it is what it is.

I was tempted to not post any pics.....but then I decided that is not being honest to only post the things that I deem good enough. If it makes any other decorators feel better.....we all have our bad days.

My biggest headache today was that frustrating phenomena of the icing caving in in the small places. It was all over my bears. :( And when I tried to fill in a few, the small "repair dot" caved in too. ARGHHHHH! 

OK....I've vented. Here's my little girl bears.

Heidi, I did my best, truly I did. But some how, it just wasn't a stellar day of decorating for me.

Hopefully I can do better on Friday when I make Army-related cookies for Keith's Basic Training graduation. I have one day to recover and bounce back.....we will see. ;)
