Emoticon Cookies


A new season of music has begun at Piano Music Studio and the students are happy to be back under the tutelage of Zuzana.  This year, Zuzana requested something "fun" for the kids, not the usual musical themed cookies to celebrate the new school year.  Looking forward to another year of beautiful music!

Ironman Swim Bike Run Cookies

One of my awesome and inspiring friends, Jason, was celebrating his birthday and I decided to make him some cookies, because he likes them (a lot).  The perfect theme for his cookies was Ironman to celebrate his recent achievement in Muskoka, his second time completing the Ironman competition!



These swim cookies are funny, because Jason never wears a swim cap, although they do give you one for each race you enter.  He told me once he rips his off immediately after hitting the water and would claim he "lost it" if he was questioned about it.


Jason loves his bike.  He has tried to convince me I will like cycling too.  Unfortunately, he didn't convince me and my bike was recently sold to someone who is loving it.  I'll stick to the pool.


It is hard to believe someone could run a marathon (42.2 kilometers) after a massive swim (3.86 kilometers) and a crazy long bike ride (180.25 kilometers), but Jason did it, two years in a row!  Happy birthday my friend!

School Bus Cookies

Back to school time means the yellow buses are driving through our neighbourhoods again.  This September half of the buses passing by are gone, as a new school has opened up for local Catholic students.  It will be a joy to see families walking to school each morning.

Amsterdam Coat of Arms Cookies

If you have been to Amsterdam, you have seen this symbol.  At the core of Amsterdam's coat of arms, the "XXX" is actually three vertical St. Andrew's Crosses.  My family spent a good part of July is this incredible city, the city of my birth, where we lived as locals in a rented house.  My love affair with this incredible city is strong!

For a beautiful young lady who has a soft spot for Paris!  Ooh la la!

A favourite set of mine, made together with the vintage airplane cookies for a first birthday celebration.  From this angle you can clearly see the light browning on my cookies, this caramelization makes my cookies extra delicious!

Superhero Cookies, including Iron Man, the Incredible Hulk, Spiderman and Captain America.  I will admit to being completely in the dark about all of these characters, being the mom of girls.  I do think the cookies are cute though!

I was very excited to hand deliver these cookies!  I made them for my brother who lives in the Netherlands and has a thing about VW busses.  My family and I spent 3 and half weeks in Amsterdam and France this July, what an amazing holiday we had.

Third Birthday Cookies

For Nathan's 3rd birthday, his daddy ordered cookies.  I flooded the cookies and was happily piping the number 2 on the fourth cookie when I suddenly thought "isn't he turning 3?!"



Luckily I was able to salvage the cookies and went on to finish the order correctly!


Happy birthday Nathan!!
