Cookies on the Lane

You know how much I love a theme, so when I was asked to do cake and cookies for a bowling party, I was game!

Other than the dino cake I did last year, this is the only time I've carved a shape out of cake.  I really wish that I had taken pictures of the cake step-by-step.  It was a lot of fun to watch it come together. 

I hope the birthday boy got a strike!

As always,

Cookies and Cupcakes!

I met someone.

Someone who makes phenomenal cupcakes.   (Hope I didn't get your hopes up, mom.)

Her name is Molly. 

She has this cute cupcake shoppe and boutique on the corner of Washington and Pleasant Home in Augusta. 

She sells all sorts of cute cupcake-themed gifts...and of course, cupcakes.

Tuesdays are Mango Tango days...I might have to stop by today to satisfy the craving I've now stirred up. 

You can visit her website to view all the other amazing flavors she offers.

She also sells these -

Cookies made by Sweet B!

So, you can think cookies AND cupcakes!

For all your cupcake needs, Molly will surely help you out.

And when you're thinking cookies...

I'll be here!

Cookie Bliss

So, there's this cute salon in the Summerville area in Augusta.  It's adorable.

It happens to be where I get my hair cut.  The exciting thing is that Mary, the owner, knew about Sweet B's cookies even before I started going to see Brittany at her salon.  Isn't that cool?!  People are talking about me!  In a good way! 

Well, Mary wanted some cookies with her logo on them to pass out to the other businesses around the area to let them know about Bliss.  I was happy to oblige!

(Told you is was cute.  It's even cuter inside.  And blissful.)

So...I am extremely proud of these.  I didn't think I was going to be able to put the flower on it without it looking wonky.  (Yes, that's a technical cookie term.  Just trust me.)

But it worked! 

The funny thing is, I did these in the midst of making the 400 Augusta cookies.  So, they were a nice break from yellow and green!!

Thanks so much, Mary, for thinking cookies!  I'll be happy to bring you cookie bliss anytime!

And I'll see you next week, Brittany!

As always,

Think Cookies.

Think Cookies...aaannnnd GO!

And now begins the segment of my life where I focus on cookies. 

That's right.

I will be thinking cookies, mostly full time. 

(I mean, I've got a few other little side gigs, but my main thing is now this.  Cookies.)

If you haven't noticed, I've already been making some adjustments in preparation. 

Think Cookies.

That's me.

http://www.ThinkCookies.com/

That's me, too.

(The link just brings you back here...I'll have a full website...eventually.)

Oh, yeah.  And you can follow me on twitter.  Guess what my name is.  Thaaat's right!

@ThinkCookies

You might ask yourself, why think cookies?

I challenge you to think of an occassion that cookies would NOT be good for...(aside from things like a Diabetic Convention or a Gluten Allergies Anonymous meeting)

But your regular occassions...

Birthday gifts 

That's right.  As a gift for the person who has everything or you don't have a clue what to buy.  Perfect for any age.  I mean, come on, who doesn't love cookies?

New Baby

What new mom doesn't deserve cookies? 

(Don't leave out any older siblings! They need special cookies, too!)

Party Favors

Who needs a bag full of stuff?

And after all you spend on everything you put in there, you could probably get a delicious, home-made, personalized cookie for less money. 

Thank You/Hostess Gift

Whether it's for party hosting, house-sitting, or just being there, it's a perfect way to say "Thanks!"

House Warming Party

You may not know what their kitchen colors are to buy them towels to match , or if they prefer red or white, but chances are, someone in that house likes cookies.

Thinking of You

Regardless of why they're down, a jar of home-made cookies says, "I care about you."

Congratulations

The fun part about cookies is that you can say congratulations for anything! "Congrats on the promotion!" "Congrats on your engagement!"  "Congrats on shaving your mullet!"

Your Logo On a Cookie
Have a logo or theme for your business that you want to see on a cookie?  Cookies are a perfect give away for prospective or current clients/customers.
Holidays

For your neighbors, for your kid's teachers or bus driver, for your in-laws that you never know what to give.

The list really could go on...tailgate party, Bunco night, christening, dinner party, baptism, tea party, wedding shower, retirement, farewell, bar/bat mitzvah, girl's beach trip...

Obviously, I've been doing a lot of thinking...about cookies. 
I just want you to think cookies, too!
And when you think of a reason for cookies (listed or not), email me! At ThinkCookies@gmail.com.
(Yes, there will be bumper stickers, t-shirts, koozies...)

As always,
Think Cookies.

Thinking Cookies, Augusta!

So, you may be wondering how my Masters week turned out...

Well, that followed by Easter is why you haven't heard from me in awhile.  I was BUSY!  I ended up doing over 400 cookies for local businesses, various hospitality houses and boxed lunches, and I could've done twice that much, I'm sure.  A lot of them...MOST of them were for VeryVera.  I picked up a new retail location along the way as well.  Neapolitan Cupcakes is now carrying Sweet B's cookies.  I'm excited about working with Molly!  Her cupcakes are fabulous!  So, for all your cupcake needs, hop on over to her cute shoppe and she will hook you up. 

Back to the cookies...

If you were around last year, you saw a picture similar to this -

The difference is, last year, the cookies I did only took up half of the table.  This year, the table looked like this...three times over.

The thing about this little bugger, is that often times, Florida would break off before the cookie was baked.  Most of the time, I could re-attach Florida to the rest of the states, but there was the one time that it successfully separated from the Union.

Of course, I just iced him for the fun of it.

I did several boxed sets for hospitality houses.

A box of boxes to be delivered.

You may ask how I kept up with all the orders that were flying through the kitchen.

I commandeered my niece's art easel. 

Hey - it worked!

This is THE last cookie of it's kind.  Somehow, after all the orders had been filled, even the last minute ones I somehow managed, one still remained. 

He's still sitting in my workroom...for posterity's sake. 

Next year...I will be better prepared for the crazy cookie rush that Augusta had with these.

I'm starting to make dough now...ha!

As always,

Think cookies.

Happy Easter, Y'all!

I hope that your day has been as wonderful as mine...

I put on a pretty dress...went to sing and fellowship and hear the meaning of Easter...ate lots of food, cooked by loving hands...took a nap (sigh)...enjoyed watching my sister work, while I just sat on the couch, playing my new addicting game on my phone...caught up on some of the blogs that I've been missing, while watching my nieces play in the front yard...and now, I'm sitting here writing, on the front porch, with the sweet sounds of nature around me.  (The cicadas have quieted for the moment.  They were so loud earlier, I had a bit of trouble taking my nap.)  It's been a good day.

And now...enough about me. Here's what you're really here for...the cookies. (ha.)

I won't be sitting around much next week, so I'm enjoying it while I can!

As always,

Think Cookies.

Consumed By Cookies and Taxes

That's right. Taxes.

Here's a short little note to tell you that I am still alive and baking.

In addition to the craziness of the Masters, followed by the Easter Eggstravaganza, I was employed by a tax company for this tax season. And, if you know anything about me, I'm sure you're shocked. Taxes, I don't know much about, but the tax software company that Ive been using for the past 4 years, I was able to help people navigate through the program, via email. It was a fun adventure, but now I get to focus on cookies! Yay!!

So, here are a few pictures that I will be telling you more about as soon as possible. Sorry for the silence, but thanks for sticking around!!

Also, I have a new web address and email address.  You can still get to me with the old addresses, so don't fret about that.  But for passing my name along, just Think Cookies...
