Cottage Themed Cookies

To celebrate her parents' anniversary, Denise asked me to come up with a set of cookies in a northern Ontario theme, something to remind them of the cottage they had for years up in Muskoka.  She had fallen in love with loon cookies I had made earlier in the summer, so we used those as a jumping off point.  Personally I am crazy about the Muskoka chair cookies!

Happy Easter Everyone!

Happy Easter to all of you!

Baby Shower Cookies with an Elephant Theme

Awaiting the birth of her first child - a little baby boy, Ashlea contacted me to create these elephant cookies to go with her baby shower theme of baby blue, teal and grey.  Each cookie was packaged in a cellophane bag and closed with a teal or baby blue ribbon.  I love how they turned out and know this little boy will bring Ashlea and her husband much love and joy!

P.S.  Those little grey dots?  I counted and figured out I piped 1400 for this order!  A special thanks to Amy of Sweetface Cookie Boutique for the design idea.

Baby Shower Cookies

Babies bring so much joy; the celebration of a new life, and an endless landscape of possibilities ahead of them!  To celebrate the upcoming arrival of a baby boy, I was asked to create cookies for the baby shower.  Working on these cookies (especially the onesies) really reminded me of the times with my little ones, who have grown up so super fast!

Curling Cookies

Heather's family loves curling and her boys are pretty sensational.  She wanted to celebrate her sons' team success with cookies, so I created these cookies for them.  One of the things that I really love about this profession is the amount of learning it requires.  In order to do these cookies justice, I found out about all about the sport of curling, despite the fact that I have never played it.  The circular target, represented here in cookie form, is called the house and the goal of the sport is to slide the polished granite stones, called the "rocks", towards the house.  Curling is game of strategy, aided by the skill of the curler sliding the stone in a curve and the sweepers using their brooms to alter the state of the ice in front of the stone.  This strategy and skill has earned curling the nickname "Chess on Ice".  

Well, these cookies certainly brought them some luck, because after winning the Regional Gore Mutual Schoolboy curling challenge, they went on to place 2nd in the provincials in Haliburton!  Read the full story here!

Congratulations Ian, Tyler, Connor and Jordan!

Sweet Sixteen Birthday Cookies

After speaking with Sam's mom, who asked me to make cookies for Sam's sweet sixteen birthday, it was decided I would be the best person to secretly find out theme ideas for her "Sweet Sixteen Birthday Cookie" tray.  Yes, a top secret stealth operation would be required to get the details without giving away why I was trying to find out about her party.  Since I drive her and my oldest daughter to school every morning, I started out by casually asking about her upcoming birthday party.  She stopped me in my tracks to say - "I know you are making me cookies."  It looks like I don't have a future in private investigation after all, it's back to the kitchen with me!

Sam had a great time with her friends and these delicious cookies in her theme of hot pink, silver and black.  Happy, happy birthday Sam!

Horse Head and Horse Ribbon Cookies

My youngest daughter is in love with horses and rides at Foxwood Farms in Bradford, Ontario (https://www.facebook.com/pages/Foxwood-Farms-Bradford-Ontario/106886766016951).  When my husband and I decided to join a triathlon training club that meets at the same time as her Saturday morning lesson I was stumped as to how to get her there.  That is when fellow rider Jacklyn and her mom Sarah stepped in and offered to pick her up each week to get her to her lesson.  How can I really express my thanks for that kindness?  Well, I started with cookies!

Designed to look like Jacklyn's favourite horse - Blaze, with a chestnut body and sorrel mane (see Annie, I do pay attention when you try to teach me about horses!), this cookie is a large 8" across.  To complete this horsey theme, I thought a blue (first place) ribbon to say "thanks" added a nice touch.  I appreciate your kindness, Sarah and Jacklyn!

Cruise Ship Vacation Cookies

Is cruise travel in your future? These cookies catch the spirit of a relaxing cruise vacation.

And after some doubt about whether to include the life ring cookies, I received confirmation that life rings do not bring up feelings of fear and so they made the set! 

Complete with starfish, shells and silver dollars, thoughts of cruising and beaching fill the mind.

I must say I love the water splashing up in front of this cruise ship - bon voyage!
