The Whole Enchilada

Posted in celebration, Cinco de Mayo, custom cookies, decorated cookies, humor, puns by

This past weekend, we were visiting Hilton Head Island, SC – riding our bikes near Coligny Circle.  Low and behold, the Aunt Chiladas Tex Mex cafe appears before us like a cookie inspiration from the Cinco de Mayo gods! (Apparently there is a same name/totally different restaurant in AZ and CT too). Meanwhile, I was cookie-fying some book designs for a wedding in August and thought I’d raise the bar to include a literary reference (hmmm. more like belly up to…).  And so, I present my take on Cinco de Mayo 2015.  May your day be “the whole enchilada!”

Who said you can’t play with your food?  Apparently, even religious holidays are not “sacred”???  And so it goes for Easter 2015.  First an EGGStreme play on that Easter staple: the simple egg.  Next I am YOLK-ing around with those wondrous little marshmallow fluffs they call Peeps.  Sometimes our ‘peeps just steal the show!?

I was invited to go over to a friend’s house for tea, which made me think of a tea party (all proper with pinkies extended), and then Boston, and then the yellow flag with a snake that says “don’t tread on me”, and then all of the possible mutations of “T”, tee, tea, bag, etc?  My mind works in mysterious ways. And “works” is a questionable categorization.  These are but a few of the possibilities:

(PS: Thanks to the magnificent Arty McGoo for allowing me to personify her on a tea bag cookie.  With utter jaw-dropping talent and a playful nature, Liz has the whole package; I am ever grateful for her inspiration and hysterical sense of humor.)
