Congrats Megan and Nick!

A cookie bouquet I did for my friend Megan when she had her little girl on June 3rd.  Little Harper Raye entered the world at 6 lbs 1 oz and 18.5" long.  What a tiny little thing she is!  She is absolutely precious.  Congratulations, Megan and Nick!  Its hard to tell in the picture, but there's also a onesie that was white with pink trim and a pink "H". 

New Pictures!

My goodness, its been awhile since I've updated! Until last week I was extremely busy with cakes and cookies. Since then I've had a break...its actually been a whole week now since I had to get an order done. And I have to admit, the break has been nice. It's allowed me to get more sleep and enjoy my days more with Oliver. Don't get me wrong, I love doing it all...but it can get overwhelming with my little guy around :)
So here's what I've done since I last updated.

these were done for a party for a young man going into the Coast Guard.

A cookie bouquet for my friend Megan as she welcomed her second child, a precious baby girl they named Harper Raye.  She loved it and it was so fun to bring this to her. She told her dh "You can eat those after I sit and look at them for a long time!"  LOL

More to come soon.  Blogger is being slow updating, so I'll update more later!

Welcome, baby Jacob!

This past week I got to do this cake for a very special family in our church.  They have been praying to adopt a child for some time now, and had always been told that they would never get a newborn because, of course, everyone wants the babies.  They were fine with that and had even set up a room in their home for an older child.

Well, about a month or so ago they got a call that there was a baby born and asking if they wanted to go through the interview process to possibly adopt this baby. Needless to say, God worked in a mighty way, and this family was able to bring home a precious newborn baby boy.

Because they had such short, short notice about this blessing they were not prepared for everything that is needed for a new baby.  Our church family wanted to bless them and give them a baby shower.  The mom was just told that she was invited to a women's fellowship get-together.  The look on her face when she walked in and realized what was really going on was truly amazing. 

It was so great being able to love on this family.  It is one of the many reasons I love the Awakening Community Church.  When we see someone in need we do our best to take care of them.

Blessings to you, sweet baby Jacob.  God has big plans for you!

Welcome home, Jerry!!

These soldier cookies were such a pleasure to do.  I have been getting to know another young mom, Candy, at our church whose husband has been deployed for the past year.  This past week he came home from his deployment, and she asked if I could make soldier cookies for him to have when he got home.

I had never attempted a camo look on cookies before, but this was a lot of fun. And according to Candy, Jerry loved them. Yay!  That made me so happy.

Thank you, Jerry, for all that you've done to defend our country.  And thank you, Candy, for all the sacrifices you made as well.

Star Wars Cookies

Finally, the Star Wars cookies!

These were sent to my good mommy-friend Gisela for her oldest son's and husband's birthdays.  These were VERY challenging especially with the glaze icing I use. I can't seem to get as fine of details as I would sometimes like. But overall I love the glaze icing.

These were a lot of fun to do!

Coming soon..star wars cookies!

Soon I'll be posting some star wars cookies I just got done doing.  They are an order being sent to Philadelphia to my friend Gisela.  I want to wait for her to get them until I post pics. Gisela, thank you SO much for your order!  I think these were my most challenging cookies yet.  But what a great learning experience it was.  I'm realizing how difficult it is to do tiny details with the glaze icing.  I see other cookies and Im sure they use royal icing, but I just love how the glaze tastes and overall how it works so I'm sticking with it.  Gisela, I hope you are happy with them and your family loves them. :)

Pink and Princess

I recently did this sheet cake for a 5 year old's birthday.  When her aunt called to order it she said, "She wants 'pink and princess'!" I thought this turned out cute.  I love the Disco dust, in person it made it so sparkly and pretty.
