Another Go At The Kitty!

Way back in the summer, I did an order for that cute kitty we all know.  Well, I had to hand cut each cookie, decorate with detail and then ship them off to a person in PA.  It was quite a project that took place the same week I was packing for our vacation.  Whew!

Well, this order was much more pleasant and turned out to be one of my favorites so far!!!  Amy ordered cupcakes, platter cookies, and cookie favors for her daughter's birthday.  She gave me this card for inspiration.

Cute, right?

Outlined and ready...

I swear I admire these more than the finished product!

Remember how I handcut the last order for kitty cookies?  Well, not this time!

I took my tulip cutter and smooshed it in the middle

to get the cat shape.  I was thrilled when it actually worked!

I was really excited to step out of my comfort

zone here and outline the flower in black.

I thought it would really coordinate.

Splash of sparkle!

(Excuse the heinous lighting.

I probably took this at 1am.)

I like it!!!

Not only did I have a large tulip cutter,

I also had a mini!  TOO CUTE!

Itty bitty kitties!!!!

:)

Love the assortment!

Stepped out of my "sparkly number" comfort

zone too.  I guess it was a big day for me!

In the end, I loved the black outline.  Loved.

I also made a few dozen cupcakes!

Thanks so much, Amy!  This was a great order.

I hope Abigail's 5th birthday was great.

Your party skills were amazing and I may steal

some of those fabulous ideas for Paige's party in July.

Fall Trio

I am waaaay behind on posting pics of my orders...make that like, um, 6-7 or maybe even 8 orders behind, but I really want to post these cute little cookies I made for a my MOMS Club annual vendor night last night.  I still have a few left, if you are interested in some sweet treats on the fly!  The bag includes 3 cookies (about 2 inches in size).

 Pumpkins, leaves and

acorns.

Voila!

Fall Trio!

Packed and ready for your child's lunch box,

your neighbor's mailbox, your dinner party,

your hostess, or YOU!

Happy Fall...

don't forget to FALL BACK tomorrow night.

Carnival Cupcakes!

Happy 1st Birthday to Jace!

So you've heard me refer to Robin.  Jace is her youngest son who turned 1 a few weeks ago!  In our home, he is known as "Baby Jace" and is loved by my 2 year old Paige.

Robin asked for cupcakes to match her carnival theme colors of red, blue and yellow.  Robin preferred more of a simple design that did not scream "CARNIVAL!!!"   I totally get that.  Off I went!

I baked 4 dozen chocolate and white cupcakes.

Okay.  I'm nuts.  I picked out the yellow, blue and red circle sprinkles.

I have nothing more to say.

Then I decorated like a mad woman!!!

Let's just say, I made A LOT of buttercream that day!

These were the centerpieces.

You can't see it very well, but there are

red chocolate number one lollies tucked in there.

SO DARLING and compliments of Ginger, Robin's mom.

(My picture does not do this justice,

as I was also tending to my own timid 2 year old at this point!)

And here she is...hanging on to her grandpa

while I snapped photos.

The girl needs time to warm up.

She's getting there.

So I am digressing from the cupcakes, but...

Robin coaxed Paige into getting some "ink."

There was a face painter at the party (of course)

and Paige wanted nothing to do with it...

until Robin talked her into it.

Hmmmm...what design?

She decided on a blue cat.  Two of her favorite things...

the color blue and a kitty.

Finally...a smile and looking for Robin's approval.

Not mine.  Hmmmm.

Okay...back to the cupcakes...

It's a carnival...the cupcakes can be GAWDY

(is that even the right spelling?)!

Yep, more of that color!

Cute from the side?

I always double line my cupcakes to let the true color show!

Did they taste good?  I'll let the pictures tell the story!!!

This is Jace's big bro, Johnny.

This 3 year old demanded her face paint be taken off to make room for

FROSTING!!!

:)

Frosting first!

We just had to see that smile again!

Happy FIRST Birthday, BIG BOY!!!!

My First Bazaar!

Today my sweet little town had its annual gift bazaar.  It was different to be an actual vendor.  I decided to do something a little different with my cookies.  I showcased my SugarChic Petites and tried out some fun new packaging and wickedly cool colors in honor of the holiday.  I enlisted my friend, Robin, to design some fun Halloween labels.  It all came together quite nicely.

So...I baked about

1000 petite cookies.  This is only

a small portion!!

This is the first phase of icing them.

Don't you love the Halloween colors?

Love it?  I do!

There are 13 petites inside.

Petites are 2-bite cookies that are

perfect with your morning coffee

or even just that "sweet" that you may need

after a savory meal.

And do you see it?  Let's look closer...

Robin strikes again!

We took my logo and Halloween-ized it!

It was so satisfying to see my vision actually

come together in this package!

And now for the Bazaar.  I wanted my table to stand out and look CHIC!  With Robin's design and my cookies, I think we did just that!

Here I am...ready to take on the sugar-lovers!

I brought my trusty MacBook to show my work

in a slideshow.  I had samples, galore!

My table was sparkly and so fun!

Try one!

I made bite-sized samples.

I threw some candy corn cookies in for fun!

These sold in 30 minutes!

Who knew?

The Petites!

These are perfect for hostess gifts, kids, teachers,

bus drivers, or just all for YOU!

What a fun day!

Thank you to Robin K Design for always

polishing SugarChic to a pretty shine!

I couldn't do it without you for many reasons!

If you're interested in purchasing the Halloween SugarChic Petite gift stacks, I am still selling them for $7 or 2 for $12.

I also sell them boxed for your platter,

with a 5 dozen minimum.  

More holiday designs are on the way!
