April showers bring…. cookie orders

As I mentioned in my last post I received many orders the month of April. Actually it was the most I have ever received in a month and they were all for the last two weeks of April, 5 orders in less than 2 weeks. Whew… 

Some of my favorite cookies I have ever made have come from these orders. My new favorite are the baby shower cookies I made. Yet again I went hunting on Pinterest for ideas on how I could incorporate both pink and blue on the same cookie since the gender of the baby was going to be a surprise. The second I saw them I knew that is exactly what I was going to make, of course I had to add a little twist.

I also had a large last minute order for a bachelorette party so I was greatly impressed with the results since I had less than 3 days to get almost 4 dozen of them completed. 

My other favorite cookies are these Sugar n Spice cookies for a little girl baby shower. I had to really get creative with these and I think that is why I had so much fun doing them. I got to play with colors and design, which always makes me happy when a customer gives me creative freedom to do my own thing.

Easter cookies

I was swamped the week of Easter with four orders, started a second job, and school coming to an end. I made these several weeks before Easter just for a little fun and experimentation. I got the inspiration from Pinterest and made up a few cookies and went from there.

These cute little chicks were for an order I had for their child's elementary school class. I fell in love with them and thought they were so adorable with their little bows and bow ties.

I also got the inspiration for these from Pinterest. Although, they did not turn out quite the way I expected I thought they were still cute and they tasted good anyway.

I made these for one of the order I received Easter week and was told to make whatever I wanted. I had a tulip cutter i bough last year that I have never gotten to use so I figured I would put it to work. My mom wanted to see some lambs so I threw a few in her order as well.

But what is Easter without macarons? I am becoming obsessed with making these but they are a pain to make even though they taste delicious. I figured why not make them a little festive and decorate then with the leftover icing I had from the cookies.
