To Infinity and Beyond...

Calling all Space Rangers...

and Sherriffs!

They were for a special little sheriff named Cade.

I hope his birthday was more fun that a barrel of monkeys!

Onesie Wonder

Did you see these cookies?  Well, Ella's mom loved them so much that she ordered several dozen to send as "Thank You"s to her doctors and nurses.  She decided she wanted the baby onesies. 

I kept them simple and sweet.

ohmigosh.ohmigosh.ohmigosh.

I love these.

Ella's mom also ordered these to say thanks to the family that dog sat for them while they were in the hospital.  She's so thoughtful!

I hope they all enjoyed their Sweet B's treats!


(And if you've noticed that my pictures haven't been the usual Sweet B quality, I do apologize.  I've been a busy little Sweet B and the photos have been more like snapshots while orders are flying out the door, instead of the dramatic photo shoots that the cookies deserve...)

Congrats with Cookies

I love sending "Congratulations" cookies!  It's so exciting to have something to celebrate and to celebrate with cookies.  I have a customer that ordered a set of "Congrats on your engagement!" cookies for her daughter one week, and a set for her mom the next week!  How fun is that?! 

So, I secretly hope that someone orders Sweet B's cookies to propose. Well, I guess it's not a secret anymore. Maybe one day!

And I Said, What About...Cookies for Tiffany...

So, if you didn't know, I'm currently working at VeryVera.  I started out working on the Costco project (making thousands of casseroles...no joke) and am now baking lots and lots of cakes in preparation for Christmas (which is almost a curse word in the kitchen.  I hear it gets pretty crazy.)  Well, my project manager for Costco took a bite of one of my cookies and placed an order for her daughter's birthday.  Tiffany's 18th birthday deserved some Sweet B's!

I heard the birthday girl barely got to enjoy them because everyone else got their paws on them first!

Well, I hope she enjoyed the few she actually got to eat!

Flowers plus Cookies equals Wedding

I had the pleasure of designing and creating cookies for a simple and sweet wedding in August.  Aaron is the brother of one of my dear friends back home in Columbus, GA.  For his and Sara's wedding, they didn't want a wedding cake, they wanted cookies.  Actually, cookies were the main attraction at the reception.  They had lemon, chocolate chip, Italian wedding, peanut butter...and Sweet B's. 

Here's what the invite looks like and the "cake" topper cookie.  (The picture is with my phone, sorry for the poor quality.)

I also had a few extra tiles so I experimented a little.  Ended up with this and I really liked it.  (Once again, camera phone.)

Here's what the set-up looked like at the reception.

Congrats, Aaron and Sara!  Hope you're loving the married life...and all the left-over cookies!

Color Me Crazy!

More new baby cookies.  I have a few friends that order new baby cookie jars so frequently, they just send me texts that say "Ella, ELH, need by Wednesday.  Yes?"  It's all the same, only the names will change...tee hee.

And of course, I love doing the baby cookies.  I did these purple ones and thought they would look marvelous on my yellow cake plate.

I was right.  But then, I set this cookie on my green charger and it was so cute, I have to share that one too.

Can you tell I love color?  And green happens to be my all time favorite.  You may think that it's teal.  I keep waiting for my teal trend to end, but it's still my go-to color.  I came to a slight breaking point when I pulled out my teal phone to get to my teal wallet out of my teal purse while wearing a teal skirt...um, get that lady to color rehab!!

Anyways, enough about me, what's your favorite color?  And how much do you love seeing that color on a cookie?!

I tend to get excited when I color icing.  I'm doing another new baby jar this week, so I'll be happy coloring (icing, that is)!

It's That Time of Year

This might be my favorite time of year.  The air starts getting that slight, feel-good chill in the mornings.  And it smells like...football.  That's right.  My Saturdays for the next 4 months are dedicated to College Game Day (well, and cookies).  And more specifically - Georgia football.  I love my Dawgs.  Even after last Saturday's disappointment.  Which is why this post didn't come sooner.  I was still bitter.  But I still have hope and love for them!

Back to the cookies, (after all, this is a cookie blog and not a football one) I made cookies for the annual Boarder Bash.  Well, my sister works downtown and they have an annual tail-gate for the annual Boarder Bash.  (For those not familiar, the Boarder Bash happens the Friday night before the Georgia-South Carolina game.  The cheerleaders and mascots from each school have a big block party downtown Augusta.)  I made cookies for the party last year and it was made clear that they were necessary for this year's celebration too.  I was happy to oblige. It's easy to do cookies for something you're passionate about.  And here's the proof...

If we don't put a beatin' on the hogs this week, I might send some of these cookies to Head Coach Mark Richt for inspiration.  I'll let you know how that goes.

Until then, goooo dawgs!

I also link it up these days...
