Happy Valentine's Day!

I had my first ever giveaway back in August.  I was so excited to not only reach 400 likes on Facebook, but 500, that I decided to have two winners.  Melinda was winner number 1 and she ordered the "Let it snow" cookies back in December.  Sally is lucky winner number 2, and she requested Valentine's Day cookies.

Sally and her husband Lee are high school sweethearts and the parents of two adorable little girls, Abigail and Jenna.  I decided to use two shades of pink and then sanding sugar to add some extra detail to the cookies.

 

Happy Valentine's Day, everyone!

Valentine's Cookies: Polka Dot Hearts

I love polka dots.  After browsing through my cookies, that would not be a shocking discovery as I tend to incorporate them into quite a few sets.

My friend and MOPS table leader, Tracy, asked for some simple Valentine's heart cookies.  She was completely happy with them being one solid color, but I knew I wanted to do something to spruce them up just a bit.  Enter the polka dots... and sprinkles.  Sprinkles always add an extra something to the cookies and they also add a nice sugary crunch to the cookies.

 

 

 

 



Just one more day to Valentine's Day- hope everyone is prepared to shower love on their friends and family!

XO Wedding Cookies

I made these "XO" cookies back in September for Monique and Brian's wedding.  Even though they were used as wedding favors, I thought they would be perfect for Valentine's Day.

Most of you know by now that I am not allowed to ship cookies anymore due to changes in the Texas law for home bakers.  When my friend and wonderful event planner from Event Identity, Krista contacted me to make these cookies for Monique and Brian's wedding, I was sad to have to turn it down since she is located in Houston.  But, Krista, being the person she is and willing to go above and beyond for her clients and her friends, offered to meet me halfway between San Antonio and Houston to get the cookies.  Problem solved!

 

This was my largest single order to date, with about 180 cookies baked, decorated, and individually bagged.

 

I hope your Valentine's Day is filled with lots of hugs and kiss! :)
