Surf's Up Dude! Cookies



I had so much fun making these surfer theme cookies for my friend's son's 5th birthday.





Here they all bagged on sticks. I made blue cake balls to look "oceany". The men at the party got a kick out of "blue balls". They never grow up do they? Didn't seem to stop them from eating them though.
Happy Birthday Liam!

Princess Cookies


Weston had 2 birthday parties today. It's hard to keep up with the social calendar of a 4 year old. I made these for Princess Sophie's gift basket. Wes picked the colors and did the sprinkles for me.


I made some cake balls in matching colors.








Then I a few little toys and put it all together for her gift. Hopefully her mom is taking my advice and enjoying the cake balls with some white wine right about now.

Tomorrow will be Liam's Surfer cookies...

Kate's 1st bday cake and cookies




I know. Kate's bday was several months ago. I have been busy doing some cute cookies for one of Weston's friend's 5th bday but guess what? Forgot to take pictures when I had them all laid out. They are all tucked away in the freezer until Saturday.

Here are the cookies I made and used as the favors.

Cake Pops

I really wish I could claim this as my own idea. Guess I could but then I would have to explain how to do it. So out of laziness and a mild case of morals, check out www.bakerella.com. Basically it's squished up cake mixed with frosting then formed into cupcakes (need to work on this part) then dipped in chocolate. I used red velvet cake and cream cheese frosting. I then shared them with my neighbor without mentioning what type of cake I used. She's allergic to red velvet. Fortunately she realized it immediately and no 911 call was made. Everyone else said they were delish and I have to agree.
Here they are all dressed up and ready to go out for the allergy test.
