QuinceaƱera Cookies: 50's Rock and Roll Diner Cookies

Facebook is a wonderful thing!  Yes, it can be a nasty vice that ends up sucking away hours of your day without you even realizing it, but it is thanks to Facebook that I had the opportunity to make these fun 50's Rock and Roll Diner cookies.

Ansonya Burke of Principles in Action Event & Wedding Design saw the Air Force Cookies I made for memorial day when I shared them on Sweet Sugarbelle's page on Facebook.  Principles in Action specializes in incredible Sweets Buffets- seriously, you need to check out her page, they are not only beautiful, but they look delicious! I was so excited and honored when she wanted to include my cookies in her Sweets Buffet for a 50's themed QuinceaƱera.  I was given an inspiration board and told to use my artistic license to create the cookies in a blue, pink, white and silver palette - no black allowed!  

While experimenting with what designs to do and what colors to use, I made a Chevrolet Bel Air and jukebox.  Even though they didn't make the final cut, I wanted to share them with you!



The end the cookies we settled on were poodle skirts, oxford shoes, records, diner signs, and ice cream sundaes, and we went with a bolder color palette than the pink and blue used on the car and jukebox.




 



It was such a pleasure working with you, Ansonya and Principles in Action!  I look forward to continuing to build our working relationship!

Firefighter Cookies

One of my closest friends, Kim recently lost her uncle.  He was a dedicated fireman for 35 years and even served as Battalion Chief for 22 of those years.  Kim wanted to give something to her cousin, Ginny, who has two boys of her own, to not only brighten their day, but also to help celebrate the life of Ginny's father.  Because of his service, firefighter cookies were the natural inspiration.





While I did not have the opportunity to know Kim's uncle and Ginny's father, I do know he was an incredible man who will be missed.  I hope these cookies can bring a smile to your face as you remember and treasure the time you had with him.
