Buckaroo Barbeque

These Cowboy Cookies were created for a Country Western themed benefit for a little boy named Zachary. You can read his story and find out how to help him and his family here.

Summer Cookies

These custom cookies were for a bridal shower with a picnic theme. I thought they might have been cute with some little royal icing ants but I decided to leave them out.

Fleur de Lis Cookies

I finally took some updated pictures of my Fleur de Lis Cookies. The original cookie was an egg shape for Easter and until now I hadn't had a chance to photograph the round version, which I think is just as pretty.

Cookie Blues

This particular shade has become my new favorite color. Although it looks more like cornflower blue, Wilton's gel paste food coloring in delphinium blue works perfectly for these Cookies Inspired by Wedgwood.

Experimenting with Photography

Lately I've been on a kick to try to take the best photos that I possibly can for my Etsy shop. I made it on the front page last night so I guess I've been doing something right! These colorful cookie stacks are just one of my many experiments from this weekend.

Custom Cookies

I love when I get custom requests because it always challenges me to come up with a new cookie design or work with different colors. This one is my Brush Embroidery Cookie in teal on ivory.

Fourth of July Cookies

I never thought I'd be on a quest to find a tiny souvenir Statue of Liberty. Now that I live in Chicago, however, I wish I'd taken advantage of the gift shops in those NYS thruway rest stops while I was living there.

Fortunately, they sell everything you could imagine over the Internet so I found what I was looking for and was able to make a silicone mold to create these fondant figures for my Fourth of July Cookies.

Wisconsin

I love taking weekend trips to Wisconsin and spending time on the farm. Some of my best cookie ideas come to me when I'm outdoors.
