My Little Pony, 2.0

I had My Little Ponies as a kid. They have a newer version now, but seeing as I've been blessed with four boys we don't see many of them around this house. I was asked to make some cookies with three specific ponies a few weeks ago. It was fun!

Woody Cookies

I got myself into a bit a of a bind this past week. My second son is turning 6 this week and we had his family party yesterday (Sunday). I normally do the "big" cake for that and serve cupcakes at his friends party. I also had a big cookie order due that I had to mail out today (Monday). I started the cookies early enough, and then I got the flu, and then I got a migraine. I ended up finishing the cookies mid-migraine (thanks to Excedrin Migraine.) The cake was about the most boring cake ever, so I'm not even going to post it here. Don't even ask. But, here are the cookies - I made a new cutter for them and now Buzz has a buddy! Heeere's Woody!

I put a photo of the cutter up on my Facebook page to let people guess what it was. I got some pretty entertaining answers, so I thought I'd share them here! Here's the cutter:

The responses I got were: a Scottie dog, some kind of person, a dachshund, "the guy who is all tied up in 'The Prince Of Egypt'", a praying angel or a dinosaur.

Jungle Animal Cookies & Panda Cake

Our downstairs neighbors have the most darling little girl. She turned one a couple of weeks ago and I got to make the cookies and cake for her birthday bash!

These are the cookies, made to match the party decor:

This is her cake:

They love pandas. I loved being able to use my new pillow cake pans and the 3D teddy bear pan I was given almost a year ago! The panda bear was chocolate cake with a buttercream finish. The pillow was chocolate/vanilla marble cake with buttercream filling and a fondant finish.

Happy Birthday Kaia!

Summer Cookie Collection

I've finally accomplished making cookies with 4 boys. I love summer with 4 boys 7 & under at home (I'll just keep telling myself that.) I got the itch to make cookies this week and decided to try out a few new designs before business gets busy. 

For this Summer Collection I used three cookie cutters I already had, and I made a new one:

I like how these turned out, though as always they could use some tweaking. That is what the practice cookies are for. My boys don't mind eating the practice cookies (neither do I).

Stay tuned for another new collection coming soon.

Buzz Lightyear Cookies

I made an Etsy customer request Buzz Lightyear cookies. I have been meaning to work one up, so I did! I made my own cookie cutter again. Here is the handsome guy:

I know, his face isn't 100% right, is it? That's the smallest tip I've got though! The food color markers just didn't look right. **sigh** Oh well, I'm sure he will improve with practice. I think next I will work up a Woody cookie. 

These can be purchased here.

Little Green Men

I love these little guys!

I received an order from the wife of an old friend for their little boy's birthday party. The party has a Toy Story theme, so I made two dozen of these little green men for him. What is possibly the best part? I made my own cookie cutter!

I'm so excited to make more. My boys are asking me when I'm going to make Buzz and Woody cookies now (they're on a bit of a Toy Story kick). They are even planning on having Toy Story themed birthday parties for their next birthdays - which are 9 and 13 months away!
These can be ordered here.
