Bridal Theme - Sex in the City

hmmm, not really sure if i nailed this one. i had a hard time with the hot pink icing, plus all the shoe designs turned out not so "Sex in the City" but at the end, it turned out okay. at least the bride and the guest liked it. 

tiger or a bear???

so, here is the first attempt to freehand draw a tiger. but the more i look at it, the more it looks like a bear..

  it didn't take me as long as i thought!                        

 hmmm....what do you think?

Flower Button Cookies

These cookies were for a friend's baby shower. She wanted pink flower button cookies. The sugar cookie recipe I used was No Fail Sugar Cookies and Antonia Royal Icing. I love using this particular icing. It dries fast and it taste good too.

I actually wanted to put holes through the cookies, but it didn't turn out so well..... I'm still working on that part. But for the most part, it does look like a button....right?

I made about 50 cookies in all. My friend was pretty happy with the results.

I had some extra cookies left over so I decided to practice designing for my next project. Averie's 1st birthday party is coming up and I plan on making balloon sugar cookies as favors. I need to make about 70 cookies, so I wanted something simple and cute. The color themes are purple, lavender and pink. I plan to have tons and tons of balloons everywhere....hence the balloon design.
