Happy New Year! A new year and new beginnings. I have made a resolution to try new things with my baking. I am starting by conquering my fear of baking cakes and I will be taking the Wilton Method cake classes starting next week! I am super excited and will be posting pictures of my progress on my facebook page.
Last year I had several request for pink and gold bridal shower cookies. It's fun to see trends like this with treats and I have to say it is one of my favorites. However a new trend has emerged with baby showers...Forest Friends!

| Forest Friend Baby Shower Cookies |
And I LOVE IT! Nothing is more PNW than cute little forest friends and critters! Here are some tester cookies I made for the showers this month and I hope you enjoy them!

| Owl Cookies |
I have several "owl" cookie cutters that I use but this one might be my new favorite. It is so sweet and cute. I like this one more than my other ones especially because it is the perfect mix of fat and fluffy if that makes any sense haha. I can't wait to use this cutter to make valentine's day owls. WHOOOOO LOVES YOU???

| Fox Cookies |
What's a forest without Mr. Sly Fox. So cute and sneaky at the same time. One of my favorite forest friends but I have to admit I am biased because my dog often gets called a "little fox" so these ones are dedicated to her.

Racoon Cookies
|
It's not a forest party without Mr. Sneaky Raccoon - always up to no good....probably with his friend the fox! I used the same cookie cutter for Raccoon as the Fox. This is technically a "basic cat face" cookie cutter but it is also very versatile. I love this sequence of the Raccoon because the shifty eyes really captures his personality don't you think?

| Forest Friends All Together |
I forgot to take a picture of just the squirrels but here they are all together with their forest friends.
Hope you enjoyed the blog post! Thanks for stopping by!
