Faux Pas of the month!

Ok, so my last post was all about this big wedding order and how I forgot to take pictures to share with you, blah, blah.  Well, Monday's are usually my make a plan, get everything together, get supplies and get ready to make the cookies for the week day.  So...I went downstairs to collect dish towels to wash.  I noticed a box with cookies sitting on the table where I do the icing.  I did a double take!  Cookies?  What cookies?  Here is what I saw...

a box with 41 cookies that were supposed to be at a wedding reception last Saturday!!  I couldn't believe it.  To say I was embarrassed is an understatement.  I called Jennifer, the bride's mom, and fessed up.  She didn't even realize the order was short.  Too many people taking care of too many things.  She did tell me that Ashley loved the cookies and I was happy to hear that.  I delivered the missing cookies this evening and was assured it was no big deal.  I bet that never happens again!  It was the last box to be filled and it didn't get carried over to the "staging" area for loading in to the car.  A lesson learned....
 

Pictures? ...and 4th of July

I did it again!  No pictures!  I'm trying to post once a week showing the cookies I made for the week.  It's hard to show the cookies when I forget to take pictures.  I haven't been able to figure out where to put a note or something to remind me to take pictures.  I'm not sure anything will work at this point. 

Nevertheless, I had a large order this week, 22 dozen monogram wedding cookies.  I intended to show you what 22 doz cookies looks like.  It's a lot of cookies.  Since I can't show you the pic, here's an image of the design.

They were designed by the bride's mother.  Nice job Jenn!  They tied all the ribbons themselves.  All the bags were tied with a very pretty green satin ribbon.  I bet the wedding was beautiful. 

Also, just a reminder, 4th of July is right around the corner.  If you need something to take to the annual holiday picnic, why not take cookies?  I'm just sayin....

 

Bachelorette Party and Wedding

Last Friday I delivered cookies for a bachelorette party.  The bride will be wearing an ivory dress and the groom will be wearing a tan suit with blue tie.  Bridesmaids will wear light blue and light green dresses.  So...all the cookies were made with light blue, light green and ivory/tan.  The hostess requested bra and panties hearts, corset,  bridesmaid dresses and bride and groom hearts.  Oh, I almost forgot the margarita. Here is a sampling of the cookies.  By the way, this is typically how cookies are delivered - each cookie individually packaged in a cellophane bag and tied with a coordinating ribbon.

On Saturday I received this email from Sarah B. (the hostess):       "I just wanted to let you know that your cookies received rave reviews at the bachelorette party! People wouldn't stop talking about them! Thanks so much again, they were wonderful!" 

I never get tired of the compliments!  Thank you Sarah, it was a pleasure doing business with you.

I also had an order for a wedding reception.  I know I'm sounding like a broken record, but I forgot to take pics.   So, here's a pic of the sample that I emailed for the bride's approval.

 These were designed to resemble the brides dress and the grooms attire.

They also ordered monogram cookies and this is the art work submitted to the bride (via the groom's mother) for approval.

Thank you  for your business Lisa.  

That's it for last week.

Cookies & Kiddos

Here's a couple cookies from last week....

Elmo for Kaden's third birthday party  -  Thanks Stacey!

Wedding cookies for Ericka and Doug - my gift to them.

I have a few other cookies I designed last week - I'll share them eventually.  There's a lot going on right now


Life between cookies? 

My two youngest Grandkids, age 5 and 3,  spent the last 10 nights / 11 days with us while their parents and older brother went to Scout camp.  Last night was their first night back home.  I know they were very happy to see Mom and Dad again!  It was sure quiet this morning without my little alarm clocks jumping on my bed. They are so entertaining. 

Here's Katelyn coasting down the hill full speed on her Big Wheel.  Did you notice the shoes?  On the wrong feet!!  She put them on herself and she is fine with that.  

Here's Conner practicing throwing the football with  Pop Charlie. 

There are so many cute pics of them it's hard to choose just one.  

Ok enough about the little people.  Cookies to think about!!
