Mummy-to-be

  These are not your average Halloween cookies nor are they your average baby shower cookies.  When I had to combine the two, this is what I came up with. 

 

 

You can easily add a bow made of ribbon to your cookie because the royal icing acts as a glue and dries nicely.  It is easy enough for the cookie-eater to take it off. 



 

 

Ever seen a pregnant mummy?! hehe!



 

 Just add a pacifier to any cookie to make it a baby girl cookie. ;)  I was going to add one to the mummies but thought that would be pacifier overkill.

 

 

Baby girl Frankensteins were a must. 

 

 

I threw some pink and purple pumpkins in there too!

 



Pop Quiz:  Which cutter do you think I used for the Frankensteins?  Try to be as specific as possible.  First person to comment on this post with the right answer wins the cutter!  :)

 {The Cookie Puzzle guessed it!  I used the Wilton ice cream cone cutter for the Frankestein.  I just turned it upside down}  Thanks for playing!!

Wedding Cookie Cakes

 Have you ever seen these???

 



  

I didn't make them.  They came from the lovely folks at Martha Stewart.  I was super excited when my client/sweet friend asked me to make some for a bridal shower.  Mine looked more like these amazing cookies by Julia M. Usher.  If I could plan my wedding agin, I would have these on the menu for sure.

I took a bazillion pictures of these because I loved them so much.  My hand-piped roses were imperfectly perfect.

Speaking of Martha Stewart, you may remember I was in a little contest for the American Made Audience Choice Award.  I did not win but I had a darn good time trying.  YOUR support kept me in the top 10 throughout the entire contest.  I think I finished 7th overall in terms of votes out of 100 national finalists.  The exposure was awesome and is still going on as I was just featured in the Houston Chronicle! 

 

Thank you all again for your continuous support of this little biz.  I am so very excited about where this will take me.

  

Blast Off!

  Blast off is an appropriate title for this post not only because I got to make space shuttle cookies but also because my business is blasting off.  Thanks to YOUR support, I am busier than EVER!!  I guess the fact that I really need at least a month's notice for a cookie order is a good problem to have.  :)  Really, I do.

I was not asked to make these cookies by NASA but rather by a super caring Mom that was taking her accompanying her kids to NASA for a field trip.  How awesome is she?!

I didn't have a space shuttle cutter so a purse cutter was used instead.  Sometimes, you have to think outside the cutter!  hehe!

I am fortunate enough to live near this amazing place and get to take my kiddos to explore.

Another way my little biz is blasting off is with cookie classes.  Yes, I want to teach you how to decorate cookies!  The first class will be on October 27th from 2-4pm and I have 4 spots left. We will be making some Halloween/Fall cookies. I hope to do this on a monthly basis and will have room for 5 people each time.  If you are interested, email me at erinheflin@hotmail.com for more details.

 

 





1st Bee-Day

 

I had the opportunity to make cookies for my dear friends Amanda and George of Pretzels Pleaze.  I am so proud of all they have accomplished with their business.  They too understand what it is like to work full-time and have a growing small business on the side.

 

Their sweet son turned one and they went all out for his Bee-Day party.  I LOVE this theme!!!



Once again, I took the advice of Callye of The Sweet Adventures of Sugarbelle for the houndstooth cookies.  Her tutorial made them easy to do.
