Denver has a very grateful and satisfied neighborhood. They have a police officer (several actually) that are watching over them carefully and interacting with purpose. And the residents have noticed. These cookies were part of a set that was sent to District 2 as a thank you.
A little attention to detail and some puffy icing makes all the difference.
This custom cookie biz is never boring. It involves some interesting themes. For this batch I was given some photos of dogs with their owners and asked to make portrait cookies. Of the dogs. I am not an actual artist in the classic painting sense. People and their faces scare me. Need to take a class on that one. Okay, more than one class. In the meanwhile, I’ll stick to our furry friends.
This holiday party was non denominational, with no jolly old elf or reindeer to be included. The invite was all about the plaid with decorations including sprigs of pine and pine cones. Oh and, um, moose and squirrels were involved. Not in a relationship like Bullwinkle and Rocky or anything. Just in a woodlands creature sort of way.
Santa, you’re so fly. Sleighin’ it, year after year.
Christmas at the gym (thanks for the order Meghann, owner of Trivida). Surely a good workout is what Santa meant when he said “sleigh it, Rudolf!” Blitzen that workout.
A very dear (not to be confused with deer) friend has me make place cards for her Christmas Eve dinner every year. This year she wanted reindeer. I placed them in a snow globe and voila! Dashing (or dancer, prancer, or vixen.).
This set was for my hubby to take to work. Reindeer have been my cookie buddies as of late (long story) so I had to include Rudolf with some mistletoe.
The relief ornament decoration was made using a stencil from The Cookie Countess as shown. Definitely a life saver when it comes to saving time. I used several shades of red and some white to achieve the effect.
The company business involves concrete and aggregates thus the trucks and the “crushes it” idiom!
Just in QUESO you’re going to a holiday wine and cheese party… Or if you have a friend that is a cheesemonger (I do). Really, really- it’s NACHO fault if you are shaking your head; I CAMEMBERT when I didn’t take advantage of every opportunity to make a play on words.
The annual girlfriends Christmas party had a southwestern food theme this year. I asked the hostess if she wanted Christmas or southwestern themed cookies. Both? she inquired. Why, yes, we can.
Wanted to make something “on point…” (or at least pointed. Looking sharp, eh?)
Who doesn’t think of cow skulls with festive garland when Christmas comes to mind? I mean, really…
So William turned 6 and celebrated with an obstacle course and a blue, black and white themed party. With the speed of a ninja, I pulled my trusty “kick backside” cutter out to create his party favors.
The ninja.
The army.
With armament (airbrushed wafer paper).
