Happy 30th Birthday

When I was 21, 30 just sounded so old, now that I am only a few years away, it doesn't sound so bad. Still no crow's feet wrinkles or gray hairs! 

These cookies are for the 30 years young ladies out there. The party theme was "vintage" pink and white, and very girlie. 

Flower Petal Cookies

I just ordered a new fluted circle cookie cutter which I thought would add a nice "girlie tea party" type touch to the cookies when I typically use just a plain circle cookie cutter.

Rose Cookies

For some reason the white buttercream frosting was a little thinner than the pink, but that is probably just me being a perfectionist? They still taste yummy. So note to self - don't use TOO much milk when making frosting. Its hard to go back.

Also, higher quality vanilla makes a HUGE difference in the taste of your frosting. I am not saying there is anything wrong with Wilton's clear vanilla (what I use in frosting so it doesn't tint the frosting and distort your colors) but I recently discovered a higher quality baking clear vanilla and I think the buttercream tastes a lot more flavorful!

My number cookie set are one of my favorites and I think this was the first time I have used the number 3...

Fling Before the Ring - Laurel's Bachelorette Party

Every girl, at some point in her life says to her self, "I want to be a fashion designer when I grow up." Well unfortunately for me I can't draw and sometime I really don't understand a thing about fashion trends...but I can bake...and I can frost.

For my dearest friend Laurel's Bachelorette party, I decided to make some naughty and nice cookies. Since this blog is rated PG, I won't be showing you all the "naughty" cookies. Key word being all... Check it out below. 

All the girl's wore black cocktail dresses to the party and we were all dress to the nine. So naturally I had to make some black dress cookies and lipstick tubes.

Girl's Only Cookies

I was excited for this next cookie cutter because the possibilities are really endless with this one...a martini glass. Now this one is a pretty BIG cookie cutter and since ladies only like small desserts I only made a couple of these. Check it out (note that is an F not a P...working on the cursive):

Get it? hehe

Alrighty, I saved the best for last...this is where being a fashion designer would really come in handy. I took my time on these babies, probably about 2 hours to frost all 2 dozen of them but I am really happy with the results. New favorite cookie cutter for sure!
