The invitations to the shower were these:
{Image from www.invitingco.com, names changed to protect the innocent :)}So, I went with pickles and ice cream cookies!
I was nervous about pickles....I mean, how cute can pickle cookies be, really. But, you know what, I actually loved them!
My lovely assistant (read: husband) made another template for the pickle shape. See how the edges are a little rougher than if I had used a cookie cutter?
I'll let you in on a little secret....I CANNOT pipe straight and even criss-cross lines. Oh, believe me when I tell you, these pictures are of the BEST cones!
When my husband came to take a look at them, I was lamenting the fact that I can't pipe straight lines. He said, "No, you can't...but keep them that way...they're whimsical." Reason #487 why I love that man. ♥
You've been warned...if you purchase these through the shop, your cones will have lines that are, um, "whimsical."
Happy Baby, Molly! I can't wait to find out if we will have a new little niece or nephew!!!

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! [
I LOVE the pickles!!! SOOOO cute!
ReplyDeleteGiven that I can't pipe AT ALL, those lines are pretty darn straight! And the pickles are adorable!
ReplyDeleteoh my GOODNESS.. those are ADORABLE!
ReplyDeleteThose lines look fabulous to me. And how can you not love a guy who uses the word "whimsical"? The pickles are adorable. You could package those with the Christmas legend of the pickle, too. I'm sure you know it but just to save you time googling: “A very old Christmas eve tradition in Germany was to hide a pickle [ornament] deep in the branches of the family Christmas Tree. The parents hung the pickle last after all the other ornaments were in place. In the morning they knew the most observant child would receive an extra gift from St. Nicholas. The first adult who finds the pickle traditionally gets good luck for the whole year.”
ReplyDeleteBTW, the mustache cookies are safely tucked into the freezer (ie. so I can resist them they smell so incredible) for Thanksgiving! Soon, very, very soon....come to Momma little mustache cookies.

Pickles and Ice cream, so awesome! Those cookies are just great!!!
ReplyDeleteThese are too cute! Where do you get your cutters? Do you hand cut a lot with patterns?
ReplyDeleteSarah...I do every once in a while, usually when I think of a design at the last minute and there's not enough time to order :), or if I can't find the cutter I need or it's the wrong size.
ReplyDeleteBridgett-only you could make a pickle pretty!
ReplyDeleteI can't wait to hear about Molly's babe-let me know so I can shop!

ReplyDeleteI LOVE those pickles, oh my gosh! How CUTE!!
ReplyDeleteThat is the cutest idea ever! Those pickles really turned out great. I might have to try that sometime!
ReplyDeleteWonderful job Bridget. Absolutely wonderful.
ReplyDeleteI might actually have a hard time biting into the pickle cookies and tasting sweet cookie instead of sour pickle. :) Pickle juice cookies, anyone? I mean, they make pickle juice snocones, right?
Donna
PS... you know I'm totally kidding about the pickle juice cookies, right? Right?
Oh and with my first, the only thing I could stomach was a meatball sub from a little place downstairs from my office. I think I ate one of those a day (and sometimes nothing else) for several weeks during 1st trimester.
ReplyDeleteThey turned our fantastic and tasted yummy too! I craved Chick-fil-a sandwhiches when I was pregnant with Ike. I could have eaten them all day.
ReplyDeletePickles and ice cream cookies - such a cute idea, and they are just *cute* overall. I never thought a pickle could be cute! ;) Very impressive!
ReplyDeleteI think the pickles are adorable!! And when I was pregnant, I craved milk!!!
ReplyDeleteThose are about the best cookies I have other seen, followed closely by the bun in the oven cookies.
ReplyDeleteWith my first baby, I also craved McDonald cheeseburgers! Could not get enough of them. This time around... nothing. I only have dislikes this time -- like coffee. BLECH.
I craved sandwiches...either the der weinersnitzel ruben sandwich or a homemade tuna with pineapple and cheese melted on top. Needless to say I gained 13 pounds my 5th month with my first pregnancy.
ReplyDeleteThose are darling!! Now I want someone I know to have a baby.. you know, just as an excuse to make something that cute!
ReplyDeleteOh Bridget..I love thepickles!!! So darn cute!! I know a thing or two about straight lines and I agree totally whimsical. Just adorable!!
ReplyDeleteMy Mom used to go to a pregnancy shop called Pickles and Ice Cream~ I remember shopping for things when Tara was a bun :) Your cookies are Adorable as always!
ReplyDeleteThose are the CUTEST cookies, I love them! And, I love whimsical.
ReplyDeleteThe Park Wife
I have never seen pickles & ice cream look so adorable! Nice job!
ReplyDeleteI love these cookies! They are beautiful!Wish I had them when I was pregnant, but my baby is 3 1/2 months old already! I might have to use them for our German pickle tradition too! I craved fruit, lots of fruit and donuts when I was pregnant!!!
ReplyDeleteAdorable cookies and so perfect for a baby shower! Love the name of your blog!
ReplyDeleteKeep them any way, they're whimsical? Best husband-of-cookie-baker line ever!!

ReplyDeleteAbsolutely precious!!! The pickles are the best!
ReplyDeleteThese cookies are terribly cute. Love them!
ReplyDeleteThis is such an adorable idea! I might have to steal this for all my friends that are currently expecting :)
ReplyDeleteI love your pickle and ice cream cookies. When can I purchase them from you and how.
ReplyDeleteThanks,
Ann
I don't think I've EVER commented on any Blog before, but I just had to tell you how stinkin' cute your blog is! I love it! I've got to share it on my blog and on my facebook! Your blog makes me sad that I don't have more time to write on my blog! Your cookies are adorable, kudos!
ReplyDeleteAdult dating and sex dates affords you the chance for hookups with sexy men and women and swingers
ReplyDeleteLove the pickles and ice cream!! Your cookies are awesome!
ReplyDeleteMany years later, and I finally stumbled upon your pickles and ice cream cookies. They are really cute. I had to laugh when I saw them because I recently wrote a book called Pickles, Pickles, I Like Pickles, and the character at the end says he will have pickles for his ice cream... "well, maybe I won't eat them with my ice cream." Every time I read that part to kids, they always say "eewww".
