Happy Birthday, Krista- Part One: Birthday Cakes and Name Plaques

 
We love our new life here in San Antonio, but there are still some things back in Houston that made moving here hard.  Our dear friends, Henry and Krista (and Ember), are at the very top of that list.
 
It was Krista's birthday back in June and she asked if I would do some cookies for the celebration.  She let me have complete artistic freedom in creating the cookies.  I was both excited and challenged by this opportunity.  I knew immediately I wanted to do a "summery" color pallete and went with coral, turquoise and white.  I did a twist of the birthday cookies I made for my sister Katie to make them a little more elegant, and then I thought a birthday just isn't a birthday without cake!

I hope you had a wonderful birthday celebration, Krista!  Thank you for being such an amazing, loving, and loyal friend.  Make sure and come back for part two of her birthday cookies!

Bachelorette Cookies: Krystal's Last Rodeo - Part One

I am so happy to announce that I have another returning customer!  You may remember Jessica from the Winnie the Pooh cookies she ordered for her niece's birthday.  Jessica's best friend Krystal is getting married and Jessica wanted to throw her the best bachelorette weekend ever!  I was excited that she wanted to use my cookies in the celebration!
 
Krystal is a Texas girl through-and-through and Jessica wanted to highlight that in the cookies.  The theme for the weekend was "Krystal's Last Rodeo," so she send me some ideas for inspiration and then trusted me to run with it. We went with three different patterns and used them on Texas shaped cookies and squares.
 
 



Congratulations, Krystal, and thank you so much, Jessica, for being such a loyal customer and friend!  Stayed tuned for Part Two of the cookies!
