Happy Birthday Mary!

I love this set of cookies for Mary, a Virginia Tech fan. The simplicity of using just three colors for design compliments the school logo. My favorite, though are the two burgundy cakes I did with the fancy loops. Too bad I didn't start doing that till the last two cookies - I would have probably done them all that way! Happy birthday, Mary!

Happy Birthday Will!

Happy Birthday to my sweet baby brother, who is not a baby. :( In fact, he is six. I love his impulsive sweetness, his ability to wear Ben out by playing cowboys, army men, knights, or wrestling, and the twinkle in his eye when he REALLY wants you to do something! Happy birthday, little buddy, I love you.

Cakes and Flowers

Another birthday! I decided to do a flower theme for this one, and was so happy to try something new. I loved the violet-type flowers so much, I made about 30 more with the leftover icing! The birthday cakes would look great as wedding cakes...maybe as favors for a bridal shower or tea.

Purple and Green Birthday (with Plaid!)

Happy Birthday to Heather! I was excited to do some plaid presents for this birthday batch.

Happy Birthday Jay!

I love the summer time feel of these colors!  The inspiration for the design came from a piece of scrapbooking paper, and I am so pleased with the outcome.

So much for getting things done early -- my husband and I had an argument centered on past tense versus passive voice.  Time for bed.

Birthday Cookies for Leigh

I made these cookies for my friend's coworker. I love the purple/green color combination, and my new scalloped cutter! I did not love being up until almost midnight (again) trying to finish them up. Now that my toddler can reach the top of the kitchen table, I don't trust my ability to keep her out of them while I work. Thank goodness she goes to bed at 8!
