direct free kick... goal!

Ok... I tried to load this picture through Flickr... it didn't turn out OK, so I did it the old way :)

I iced these COOKIES for my nephew J's Birthday last month when he turned 12... he is THE BEST Soccer player in the family!! He plays in a local league, and is often invited to play with teams that need a very good player... he's been to Soccer Summer Camps, and was on a Soccer Tour to England with his uncle, brother and cousins this Winter... they had a great time!!

He is my youngest daughter's BFF, too!! They go to the same school, are in the same grade, sometimes in the same classroom, if they're lucky they get to sit together, we car pool everyday, go out on weekends... we love to see them chatting all day, laughing and having a fun... you get the idea...

He is one of my favorite nephews, too...

little mermaid cookies

I just finished N's Birthday COOKIES... Her mom asked for Mermaids, Sea Horses, Fish and Sea Star COOKIES on a stick... I LOVE the Little Mermaid... isn't she cute with her sea star hairdo?... And her kitsch sea friends, smiling and playing around her?...

I made the Little Mermaid and Sea Horse COOKIE Cutters inspired by clipart from the web... this order was colorful and fun to do! Happy Birthday, N.!!

pirates of the caribbean cookies

This week, among other orders, I made these Pirates COOKIES for J's Birthday...

The only cutters I had were the Boy, Flag and Sailboat... I looked for ideas, and found great clipart and COOKIES in the web, and also made the Parrot and Chest cutters... the Parrot was inspired by SweetDreamsAT, from Cake Central, she does amazing COOKIES... mine was not perfect as hers ;)

I was very happy with the results, but next time I'll try another chest, as I found it a bit dull... I used colored sugar as gems, but still think something was missing or was wrong...

like tea?

It's been a loooong time since I published the last post...

Today, I. is having her Birthday Party... it was cancelled because of the influenza, so I bet she is happy to finally have a great time with all her friends...

F., her mom, brought this napkin and asked if I could make her 3 different COOKIES to go with the theme she chose... I had a tiny COOKIE Cutter, so I decided to make new cutters... I included a Flower COOKIE (sorry no photos), they are Lolly COOKIES as they plan to show them off as centerpieces...

easter cookies

Part of my Easter COOKIES...

These COOKIES were made for L's Birthday Party... in Mexico, children have Easter vacations, so her mother planned everything for April 3rd, so that all her friends could attend... everything was decorated in pastel colors, and the theme was Easter! Each guest received favor bags with candy and 2 Iced COOKIES... I put an Easter Egg and a Bunny or Chick on each bag tied with curling ribbon... Congratulations L... you'll be a teenager next year!
