Summer Sugar Cookie Baking

So summertime baking. Crank up the air and get at it. I can't complain about being cooped up in the house on a summer's day, as summer is in full swing and although it is only June, it feels like a Memphis August summer. What will it feel like in August for pete's sake? So the first batch was seashells for my Mom's birthday. I sparkled them and shipped them off to Florida.





I wanted to say "Thank You" to the nice folks at the Post Office. Yes, the United States Post Office. I was going to make stamps, but I got a little overwhelmed. I cut them like stamps and then just decorated them in bright, colorful icing. Cute and delicious.




Sweet little onesies for a little girl on the way...



Sweet baby carriages, unfortunately the pictures I took after dusting them with sparkles did not turn out...

Baby Shower Cookies

When my friend called and told me she needed baby shower cookies, I was delighted. Since making baby cookies for Christina's teacher that my sweet, adorable daughter told me were "creepy", I was ready to redeem myself. I never disclosed if I was having a boy or a girl, but from a cookie decorator's standpoint, it sure helps to focus on blue or pink. And I focused on blue! They turned out pretty darn cute, if I may say so.
