Did you catch the title of this post? It’s for real ya’ll… Callye, a.k.a. Sugarbelle, or as she’s known in my house “the cookie queen”, asked me to guest post on her blog and I feel like my favorite singer just pulled me on stage to sing with her! “I’m so excited! I’m so excited! I’m so… scared!” Jessie Spano, anyone? Saved […]
Sparkly Heart Sugar Cookies
Two cookie favors per guest is always better than one, yes? In addition to wedding cake sugar cookies, I made sparkly heart sugar cookies to match for my friend Justine’s bridal brunch. These hearts use the same purple color from the wedding cake cookies as well as a sprinkle of sanding sugar to add a little glitz […]
Simple Cookie Designs: Holiday Happiness in a Cocoa Mug Cookie
I’ve been dying to recreate Sue’s adorably cute cocoa mug cookies since I first discovered them last spring. I love love love ’em! Don’t they just radiate holiday happiness, warmth, and all things snuggly? I’d say these cookies help balance out the girl-a-palooza that is the hot pink snowflake cookie design.

Simple Cookie Designs: Snowy and Sprinkle-y Christmas Tree Cookies
I ’m rounding out my series of simple cookie designs, with these cheery and colorful Christmas tree cookies. While my snowflake cookies and coffee mug cookies veer away from the usual holiday color palette, these cookies add a dose of traditional Christmas green to the mix. I wanted my Christmas trees to have snow-lined branches and pops of color […]
Simple Cookie Designs: A Very Girlie Christmas
Now that the news is out, ya’ll know why I’m trying to keep things simple these days. I’ve got a few new cookies coming your way and each of them uses only two colors of frosting, but still makes for a fun and festive presentation. Two colors is so easy to manage. Less icing bags. Less bottles. […]
Big-Headed Snowmen Cookies
They might have big heads, but these snowmen sweeties are far from bigheaded! They’re quite humble, in fact. First off, props to the lovely LilaLoa for enlightening me and the rest of the cookie world about the inherent cuteness of large-headed creatures. Her big head duck cookies are a perfect example of this and are majorly adorable! Applying […]
