Lately-

 I know!

My posts are few and far between.

I post frequently to Facebook and Instagram (daily).

Sorry.

Here's whats been going on in my kitchen--

I took some time off after Easter because I cranked out soooooooo

many Easter cookies that I needed some time off to just do FAMILY stuff.

Gender Reveal

these were to announce to coworkers what she's having.

A BOY!

I bought a plain white frosted cake and added the decor. 

I love doing this!

Someday I'd love to be a cake decorator (I don't want to bake them).

The above "casino" cookies were for a young fella turning 80.

He enjoys spending time at the casino.

Just some fun springy cookies.

These were for a young lady who turned 17.

She's a swimmer, a dancer, and iphone lover!

That's all!

Just Not Red

I think roses are beautiful! 

I just don't like red roses!

No reason--I just don't!

                                                                      Happy Birthday!

Cookie Cake

I'm always in "cookie mode"! 

While others think about where they want to vacation,

or what car they'd like to drive...

I'm thinking about HOW I can create something from or with cookies.

Another cookie gal calls it COOKIE THINK.

So we needed a birthday cake--kinda last minute.

Since I am only a cookie decorator,

 I could see what I wanted in my head using a cake and cookies.

I found these party paper goods at TARGET in the clearance section sometime last summer. 

 I decided to use them as my "guide".

I thought and thought about making the cake myself,

 then I remembered that I'm not a "cake gal"

(someday maybe)

So I bought a cake from a local grocery store who has the BEST cakes (Basha's)

then came home to make the accessories for the cake.

Accessories

Put it all together and this is what you get...

Happy Birthday Mom!

PS- Did you know that Sandra Lee (no connection) has an entire 30 minute show on the Food Network

dedicated to creating great parties and such using

85% store bought goods and the rest from home.

Semi-homemade!

My kind of gal!
