Summer cookies

Busy… that seems to be the norm. I am not really thinking that will change. Since changing jobs I am now extremely more flexible on time and I am finding I now have time to do things I have been putting off. I am now working in a bakery in midtown and am loving every second of it. I am finally able to be creative in a kitchen and not just in the cookie department. 

Since my last post was from around Memorial day I guess I will get everyone up to speed on what I have been doing since.

Thanks a Buzz-illion

 Bachelorette cookies for a friend of mine

These I just did for fun since I had ordered some PME tips and wanted to test them out. PME tips are great for fine lines and lacy piping. Wilton is great but there's something about a superfine line that Wilton tips just don't produce. Sorry that's the baking nerd coming out of me. But they produce such beautiful piping...

Flower girl cookies for a friend. She gave these to her flower girls when she asked them to be in her wedding. Such a cute idea.

More bachelorette cookies...

I also celebrated my 22 birthday which I made all the cookies for. People ask me why I make my own birthday cookies… I'm not really sure of the answer. Sometimes it's because I am a perfectionist and want them to look a certain way. Other times it's just because I want to try something new and experiment.

I also had the opportunity to make some cookies for a couple who told their family they were expecting. Of course they didn't know the gender yet so lots of colors was a must and I always love doing the pink and blue carriages, they are some of my favorites to make.

I finally did my first set of proposal cookies, I've been secretly been hoping to do some for a while now and finally got the chance.
