Mickey and Minnie Mouse Party Favors
A close friend recently threw a 1st birthday party for her daughter. The theme was the Mickey Mouse Club House.
After thinking a while, we decided that a smaller cookie would be best for giveaways and as all the little ones would love them anyways, simpler was better when it came to the design!
Using Mickey Mouse's iconic red trousers and yellow buttons for inspiration along with dainty Minnie Mouse's pink polka dot dress (I had a stuffed Minnie Mouse doll that wore that dress), I started looking for an appropriate cookie cutter.
While I have quite a collection of cutters, nothing seemed perfect.
What a dilemma...
Until.... Mr. T free-handed the classic Mickey Mouse head onto some thin cardboard and then we cut it out to use as a template.
It gave us a custom shape but of course meant cutting out each cookie with a knife... the things we do for our Loved Ones :)
We put down the black top half of each cookie first, waited about 30 minutes, and then filled out the bottom of each cookie making an equal amount of Mickey's and Minnie's.
Ta-Da!!

Chinese themed Quinceanera
Quinceanera's are the hispanic counter-part to the american Sweet 16. At the age of 15 a young lady becomes a woman. Part of this is generally a huge party.
This 'quince' had a Chinese theme.
Each cookie was double sided - bright chinese red on each side. Golden 15 characters (Mandarin) on one side and beautiful bamboo on the other side.
Gorgeous! So proud of my Chinese heritage and being able to share it with others.

Lambda Pi Chi Collection
A former classmate asked me to help her celebrate the 13th Anniversary of her becoming a proud member of Lambda Pi Chi Sorority. It was a big deal because she and her line sisters were now 'teenagers'.
This collection was a true treat since the sorority colors are so vibrant and their mascott, the Butterfly, is beautiful.

Mad Hatter Tea Party - Alice in Wonderland
Recently a lovie Birthday girl came to me with a very specific request of cookies inspired by Alice in Wonderland. She wanted something that could be served at a Mad Hatter Tea Party.
Creating these cookies took me back to one of my favorite scenes from the cartoon movie where Alice has to nibble on random goodies to adjust her size.
I hope Liz had a great party! *pinkies up!!*
