Forest Friend Baby Shower Cookies

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!

Ready to Pop Baby Shower

I am getting to "that age" where some of my friends are getting married but even more are on the brink of having babies... *sigh* now that I am in my late twenties. Well this baby shower wasn't exactly for me or anyone I know. But the them was ready to pop! And all things that go POP were just about represented...but lets focus on the fun dessert...

Yellow and Blue Cake Pops

Cake POPs are the perfect little pop for this shower. A bouncing baby boy P is on the way!

Baby Shower Dessert & Treat Table

Of course it wouldn't be a Ready to Pop party with out POPcorn! 

Chocolate Dipped Rice Krispy Treats

POPsicles...well not quite but chocolate dipped rice krispy treats are sure to delight! 

Custom Baby Shower Cookies

And I guess cookies don't really go POP but there are cute anyways and look great on the dessert table.

Daisy Flower Cookies

Sheep/Lamb Cookies

Spring has definitely sprung in the Northwest. The earth finally seems to have woken up from its winter slumber. Flowers are blooming, grass is growing and the sun is shining in Seattle - yes you heard me correctly. In fact we have even been fortunate to have a few days creep up into the 70s!!

Who is ready for Easter?! I miss the days where I would go and search for Easter eggs. Now I get to take joy in watching my little siblings (7 and 4) hunt for eggs!

Quack Quack! Little Ducklings!

"Rubber ducky you're the one...you make bath time so much fun!" Yup that is officially stuck in my head...

These bunny faces are my FAVORITE! I couldn't decide which I liked more though - with whiskers or freckles? What do you think? I want to know! I think I like freckles....

Easter Egg Cookies

My 2 fave Easter Egg Cookies

Naturally with spring comes lots of fun celebrations like baby showers! This blog post is dedicated to all things spring!

I have to apologize in advance that I didn't "pose" these cookies like I normally do and just quickly snapped some pictures during packaging. But I think the cuteness still shines through. I loved the bright spring theme for this Baby Girl shower.

Baby Shower Girlie Themed

Spring is just around the corner. The cherry blossoms and daffodils are blooming in our neck of the woods and it makes me excited for Easter and the end of winter.

Naturally, spring also means BABY MANIA! I have been getting a lot of interest for baby themed cookies. Maybe I am a little biased, but little girl things are SOOO much cuter than boy things. I love all the pinks, purples, ruffles and flowers for baby girls. Now let's just sent the bar straight, I am not having kids any time soon, but I can't help but smile at such cute and tiny things.

Here are some cookies I made for Baby Girl C's shower this weekend. Sugar and spice and everything nice :)

Baby Bottle Cookies

More Baby Bottle Cookies

I think of all my cookies in this batch, the bottles were my favorite. They are simple and cute. One of the fun things about baking and making clothes, is I almost feel like a little fashion designer.

Baby Zoo Animals!

Most of my friend's aren't quite at the "baby" phase of life yet. Most of us are still getting married or buying houses, so I haven't had too many opportunities to make baby shower themed cookies. However, the "first friend in the group" just announced that she is pregnant and due in August so maybe I will be making some more baby cookies after all! I have made some animal themed cookies in the past like the elephant which is one of my favorites!
