My girlfriend Terri is having a birthday today...and her sweet mom ordered cookies for her! :)
She ordered these:
But then emailed and told me to do whatever I wanted.
I still wanted to make the pink birthday cakes...they are some of my favorites, but I thought I'd play around with the design a little.
These on the right, with the big flowers, turned out to be my favorites. The flowers are pretty "high profile," so I'm a little worried about how they will ship.
Maybe Terri will let us know. (Don't worry, I sent extras in case of breakage!)
Here are a few of Terri's pink birthday cookie mix all together...
Terri.....I hope you have a wonderful birthday!!! I miss you! I'll be sure to drink a Bass Ale in your honor tonight! :)
Welcome to Bake at 350! I'm Bridget and I like all things sweet...especially cookie decorating. I hope you'll find some inspiration here. So, grab a chair (and a cookie) and let's get baking! [
Those are soooo cute, I love them!!
ReplyDeleteWow! I love these cute COOKIES and the color combination is one of my favorites... what a great idea to "dot and swirl" for those flowers, they look great... I love the white flowers you made (the "low profile" ones :D ), I've seen them on hawaiian shirt COOKIES, but don't know how to do them... can you share the secret?
ReplyDeleteThose are fabulous. I love them. I have trouble having success when I ship cookies to friends and family. Could you give me some tips?
ReplyDeletejust lovely :)
ReplyDeleteBea...it's the same way you add flat dots, just make a flower shape instead.
ReplyDeleteBetsy...after much trial and error...I individually bag the cookies, lay them flat in a single layer inside a sturdy box between layers of foam or bubble wrap. Then, I put that box in another box, cushioned with packing peanuts. It's quite the process. :) Still, depending on how they are handled, there can be some breakage. I also have learned the hard way that certain shapes don't ship well.
Thank you, Bridget! I'll practice that :)
ReplyDeletethose are beautiful
ReplyDeletethese are so wonderful -- I'm besides myself trying to come up with a way to praise them... wow. You have so much talent!!
ReplyDeleteVery cute!
ReplyDeleteQuestion:
Would you, could you address in a blog post or via email why my royal icing might have left a funny bumpy texture once it finally dried. Not really bumpy, but almost like a drag texture that you might find on a wall. Indentations. Took for-ev-ver to dry then they did that. I was mad >:|
Thanks.

Thanks I will have to try that. Would love to see how it looks.
ReplyDeleteBridget those cookies are very pretty. Their all girl cookies. I'm happy for you with having your cookie business. :) I love pink, and the flowers are adorable.
ReplyDeleteI'll try the flowers and the roses next week, loved them! I'll send you the pics when they are done!
ReplyDeleteThese are great!! I would love to know how they ship with the raised flowers, which are too cute!!
ReplyDeleteLet us know!
Oh, these are adorable. I love the stand up flowers! SOOOOO cute!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous!
ReplyDeleteBridget these are SO super cute! I love the little flowers you did on the cakes. i'm totally going to steal that idea from you! they look fantastic!
ReplyDeleteI have never baked cookies besides gingerbread men and choc chip. I am totally in awe of your cookies. It must take ages to decorate them so beautifully. Really love your work. Hopefully, with your inspiration, I will get to try doing decorated cookies someday.
ReplyDeleteI am LOVING your blog!!! So glad we ran into each other on Sunday!
ReplyDeletePeggy
You do such lovely things with that cake-shaped cookie. I have to add that cookie cutter to my collection.
ReplyDeleteThose are just darling!!!
ReplyDeleteI love the "high profile" flowers and I think she and her mom will be over the moon about them.
Cheers ;-)
Just got home from a great visit with Terri and let me tell you--the cookies were wonderful--beautiful and so yummy !!!(Almost too pretty to eat) I DID not see the ones with the flowers as the cookies arrived on Thursday and by the time I got there on Friday nite there were 8 cookies remaining. So I guess Terri will have to let you know how they shipped:))Thanks for an awesome birthday gift for my daughter.
ReplyDeleteThose are beautiful!
ReplyDeleteThose are so cute! I love the polka dots and sprinkle of sanding sugar!

I am just so blown away with how cool, gorgeous and awesome your designs are. Yay! I love it, and now I'm hungry for cookies for lunch. Hehehe.
ReplyDeletebridget, these are so adorable like all the cookies you make. always so clean and detailed. lovely!
ReplyDeletelove these cookies!
ReplyDeleteThe cookies were so YUMMY and absolutely beautiful!!! The raised flowers shipped just fine...they were perfect! I enjoyed eating the cookies and was even scolded by one of my children when they came home and found me out on the back porch eating one. They said, "MOOOMMM!!!" (in a tone that implied that I should not be eating the cookies}...you see, they had already laid claim to the cookies. They thought I would just have one and be done since I have been trying to lose those last 10 pounds. What they didn't understand was that A. It's my birthday, B. These are the yummiest cookies ever and C. IT'S MY BIRTHDAY and I can eat as many cookies as I want. Of course, all I said to them was "What?" (with a shrug), "Grandma DID get them for me?" Ha!!! Thanks again!!!
ReplyDeleteI love the cakes with the roses!
ReplyDeleteMay 22, 2011 -- Hola!! hice unas pequeñas galletas en homenaje a tus rosas. Felicidades!!!!

how did you make the 'high profile' flowers?
ReplyDeleteThe present with graduated polka dots and the cake with swags are my favorite two. And the roses remind me of Mary Engelbreit's style, which makes me smile.
