being inspired & springtime flower sugar cookies

Today's high of 55ºF and the talents of Lizy B totally inspired me to create my last order for springtime flower sugar cookies.

I am often blown away by so many creatives and Elizabeth of Lizy B just blew my mind with her beautiful florals that I thought I'd give it a go with my very own. 

I cut out small circles of dough for the center of each flower cookie, filled it with royal icing with matching pollen dots.

Each flower sugar cookie gets bagged, heat-sealed, and tied with a spring colored ribbon.

happy spring!!!

24 dresses.....

I was super excited when this order for bridal shower cookies came across my Inbox from a repeat client. Thanks Courtney!!!

Icing cookies with pure white royal icing is always tricky. You never know when a speck of dust can come flying over and land on your cookies while they're drying OR worse when the icing dries antique white. Trust me, I speak from sad cookie experiences......

But I think I got it right this time!!! 

What I'm loving most about these cookies is that each one is completely different. Party guests can choose a dress that suits them best.

Simple designs of lines, dots, bows, pleats and ruffles.....
