Sweet as Candy

There is no way to candy-coat this; I’ll just have to say it out loud.  MY MOM IS THE SWEETEST!  Happy Mother’s Day 2016!

Hang In There

There is always a story behind every cookie set.  This one concerns a young lady working toward her PhD, with a thesis on the issues decimating the Monarch butterfly population as they migrate. There were roadblocks and difficulties in her doctorate life as well.  Here’s how I tied the two together….

Powder to the People

I know, I know.  Ski season is almost over (at least in Colorado). But I hope you think it’s better to be late than never.  My homage to that beautiful snow sport on the Rocky Mountain high.

The cookie cutters (my current absolute favorite) are from Bobbi’s Cookie Cutters.  So many possibilities!

EGGplant

Our family gets up at dawn to start punking on April’s Fool Day.  I am opting for a kinder, gentler April One in 2016.  One that (I hope) makes you think and laugh.

True story of where next year’s Easter eggs come from… #not.

Oh Crap!

Yeah.  We’ve all been there.  That day where nothing goes right.  It seems the odds are ever NOT in your favor.  Well, let’s change that ‘oh crappy day’ into ‘oh happy day’ with this play on (some of) our favorite emoji.

A Big Deal

It’s a BIG DEAL when friends that you play cards with are such fun and so appreciated! Here’s a nice way to let a couple know that they are the king and queen of the card group.  A sweet way for the client to say thank you? Yep, ACE’d it.

Sweeten the Deal

This set of cookies went out as a thank you to a mortgage company.  Several were personalized using the names of the employees and the rest were a ‘calculated risk.’ mortgage wmDSC_0142

Off the Cuff

My hubby and I have been married for 32 years (so far) and these cookies shipped off to our friends that were there from the very beginning.  We had an opportunity to visit their home town after not seeing them for a very, way-too-very long time.  The 4 of us were right back to our roots, laughing and exchanging stories like in days gone past. Couldn’t have been more wonderful! But, somewhere along the way, I realized that they had never experienced MamaMayerBakery decorated cookies.  Preposterous!  To cure that ill, I sent some valentine-ish cookies (it was that time of the year) for the pediatrician’s office where our friend works.  She sent me the logo for the Children’s Clinic East to incorporate and my usual way with word play took over.
