ROAR! King of the Jungle Cookies!

My friend, Marlana, asked me months ago to do 30 cookies for a baby shower for her SIL.  She provided me with a picture of the paper products/decor.  This is so helpful!

I immediately knew I wanted to do

the lion's head, the trees and polka dots

while using all the cute colors!

I decided to sugar the lion's heads.

I thought that would provide some

fun texture and POP!

That's his cute little whimsical mane.

Look at that face!

I decided at the last minute that he

should have the crown.

Did you forget what he looked like

from the paper plates?

 Okay, so my lion's chin is a bit wider.

Think Jay Leno as a lion. :)

Next up were the trees!

I can't tell you how much I loved

the look of these trees!!!

Aren't they fun?

My polka dots were...well, polka dots.

So I fancied them up a bit with some ribbon.

I've always loved seeing this

on my favorite cookie blogs.

This was my chance to tie up some cookies!

It wouldn't be me if I didn't take a pic

from every single angle!

I also threw in a few little crowns for fun.

I had some extra dough.

A crown fit for a King!

Thanks, Marlana!

It was SO great to see you!

Welcome to this world,

Little Daniel.
