Delta Sigma Theta

My beloved 'sister' Elizabeth asked me to make these cookies for her Chapter meeting. She is a proud member of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc.

It was a HUGE order and of course I was super nervous because I always want to make Elizabeth proud :)

The hand configuration is the way that the members represent for the sorority (seen a lot in pictures of the members), their flower is the African Violet, and their animal is the Elephant.

Definitely a success if I do say so myself! The hands were probably the most tedious part but I am definitely proud of them.

Most importantly.... Elizabeth LOVED them!

*happy dance*

The Big 2-5!

*sigh* I remember my 25th birthday. Talk about quarter-century-crisis!

It totally would have gone over better if someone had given me some awesome cookies like these!!!

Jayda Turns 2!

The cutest little girl name Jayda used to live in the same complex as Mr. T for a while. She moved away about a year ago and by chance her Mom and Mr. T ran into each other the other day. Jayda's mom ordered some cookies for her birthday party!

A special set of big cookies for the birthday girl:

And some little snack packs as party favors:

So adorable... the cookies and the 2 year old!

Cancer Awareness Fundraiser

A co-worker asked me to bake some cookies to help her fundraise for Cancer Awareness. Cancer has touched my family several times and I definitely wanted to help raise funds for the cure.

Each color ribbon represents a different type of cancer:
Black: Melanoma
Purple: Pancreatic
Gold: Childhood Cancers
Pink: Breast Cancer
Dark Blue: Colon Cancer.

Green with Luck!

I LOOOVVEEE the color green! Maybe it's because I'm a May baby so emeralds are my gem of choice but I just think green is the best color there is. Naturally, that means St. Patricks Day is one of my favorite holidays *insert huge smile*

As part of my green-ness, here are some St. Patrick Day cookies I baked up.

Later this week I'll have a tutorial on creating a custom Pot of Gold cookie.
