Elephants on Parade

I whipped up these elephants from my friend Heather, as she was co-hosting a baby shower for a dear friend. I wound up making the template myself (there are some odd looking elephant cookie cutters out there).

As I was icing them, I found it hard to ice over this gem: in an attempt to patch a crack in the dough before baking, I inadvertently baked a small heart onto one of these little guys. Awww...

One Happy Customer

My nephew James digging in to some Father’s day lobster cookies at the start of the season. His getup is quite patriotic!

March Madness

I baked up these basketballs for a new tradition: our Friday March Madness party at Centro, my company. We had a number of clients come out for some basketball cheering and... "beering".

Rock It

These guitars were for my friends Armine & Pete, as they recently had their first child. The design is in honor of their son becoming a future rocker like his dad. (I was going for "electric" but somehow they scream "banjo"!)

Cheers!

I had a lot of fun with these. I created these for my friends Brian & Lauren to celebrate their upcoming 'nups. Since they're tying the knot on New Years' Eve, they have a gold & silver motif. I played around with metallic dust for the first time (if you look closely, you can see the the dust brushed onto the background).

The navy blue icing may or may not have dyed peoples' mouths as blue as Smurfs. Apparently that happens when you eat more than 5!

Baby Giraffes

I made these little guys for my friend Jen's baby shower. She's having a girl, but the hosts didn't want to overdo it in the pink camp. These provided a nice understated touch.

"Batter" Up

I created these cookies awhile ago, and just recently stumbled upon the pics. I made them in Spring '08 for my Uncle Carl's birthday. He's a huge Phillies fan, so I emblazoned a few with red "P"s. Oh, and I should probably point out that the Phillies won the World Series a few months later. Just saying.
