This gal might actually be a cookie robot. Seriously, look at these cookies… Crazy right?! They’re incredible! Though I love all her photos, her tutorials, and her tips, I’m most […]

Mr. & Ms. Shamrock Cookies for St. Patrick’s Day
While I cringe at many of the cookies from my early decorating days, two years ago for St. Patrick’s Day I made sparkly shamrock cookies and St. Patty’s Day Cupcake Cookies, which I still love to pieces! Last year, I was a bit lazy and decided to ride on the coattails of my awesome cookie friends’ creations, but this year, […]
DIY Furry Cat Birthday Cake
For Halloween my awesome munchkin Quinn hemmed and hawed about her costume, struggling to choose between a pink cat and a fairy princess (Princess Holly to be exact).

Judging from the number of sugar cookie posts on my blog, you can see that I’ve since flip-flopped. I just needed to steer […]
Wedding Cake Cookies for Justine
My fabulous friend and former Southern Californian, Justine, is getting married this May in New York. Since Quinn came onto the scene, long distance trips aren’t as manageable (read: an anxiety-ridden fiasco), so we’ll sadly have to miss the celebration. Thankfully though, Justine flew back to Cali for a quick trip last weekend and we […]

Did you catch the title of this post? It’s for real ya’ll… Callye, a.k.a.
