Welcome Back Fall Cookies - and - Introducing....the Pumpkin Roll!

And then it was November. Just like that. That means that Thanksgiving is just around the corner and our Fall cookies are available again!

Before I show you pictures of all our lovely Fall cookie selection, I'd like to tell you about a new goody we have available, the Pumpkin Roll. This addictive addition is a moist pumpkin cake rolled up with a sweet, smooth cream cheese filling and sliced up into approximately 16 servings. We are selling them for $14 a roll. These are perfect to have on hand for company, parties...or just you and your family. They also freeze and thaw fantastically - so you can stock up and pop them out a roll at a time or just a few slices at a time. We will include freezing and thawing instructions with your roll. Here is a picture. Go brew some coffee and enjoy...



And now for our Fall cookies. We have the same selection as last year - but we are always open to new requests and will gladly customize your order!

 Fall leaves - still my favorite.
 We have different boxes this year, but you can still add a bow to our white bakery box for a special touch.

 Turkey 


This is our place card cookie - we can do any of the shapes. The pumpkin and turkey cookies are a little bit larger than the leaves. As with all our cookies, we can write custom messages for you such as "Happy Thanksgiving" "Welcome Home" "Give Thanks" etc. 


Pricing
Our cookies are typically sold in boxed sets, however we are happy to change things up to cater to your preferences - whether it's a single cookie or dozens.

Box of 3: $16.00
Box of 5: $20.00
Box of 7: $25.00

A satin bow can be added for $1.50

Single Cookies: $4.50
Single Pumpkin or Turkey (somewhat larger than the leaves): $5.00

We can accept money through PayPal, cash, or personal check. 
Orders may be placed as far in advance as you wish. We do ask for at least 48 hours notice to avoid rush charges. We will gladly ship our cookies if you (or the recipient) live too far for hand delivery. If you are having cookies shipped, we suggest ordering cookies without sticks as we cannot promise the cookies on sticks will arrive in one piece at the other end.

"Come to the Dark Side. We have cookies..."

This week, Angela and I got to decorate these Star Wars cookies for a boy's birthday party. Since Angela isn't what you'd call a Star Wars enthusiast, I was happy to serve as the geek consultant on hand. It was a nice change to do something a little different from the more girly cookies we decorate.

The cast of characters...

Want these cookies, you do.

Feel the Imperial March coming on?

Boba Fett
Happy birthday, Noah!

Monogrammed Cookies


A while back, a good friend asked us to bake some special monogrammed cookies as party favors for her vow renewal/wedding anniversary celebration. We were in the midst of several holiday cookie projects so I never got the chance to share them with you...until now!

To match her colors, we mixed the warm mocha for the lettering and used pearl dust to add shimmer to the background. It was a good opportunity to learn how to get the elegant font she chose just right. Special cookies for a sweet friend's special occasion!


Edging detail.

All packaged and ready to go!

Valentine's Day Treats



It's hard to believe Valentine's day is just around the corner with all the snow on the ground here in Georgia. I guess it's the southerner in me that can't seem to associate Valentine's Day with snow (even though it's perfectly normal to snow in February...it's still in the winter after all!) Anyway - baking up and looking at the pictures of these Valentine's day cookies were just the wake up call and colorful touch my mid January day needed.
They were a big hit last year - Perfect for your guy (who may not appreciate flowers), a thoughtful "I love you" for your girl (along with some flowers, maybe?), or a surprise treat for friend...or you could just use Valentine's day as an excuse to treat yourself.

We made 6 different color themes, and I've numbered them for easy reference.

Color Theme 1: Red and White



Color Theme 2: Red, White and Pink

We can customize the message on the cookies if desired.


Color Theme 3: Soft Pink and White

Color Theme 4: Pink and Brown
And yes, for you chocolate lovers out there, the brown fondant is chocolate!



Color Theme 5: Bright Pink and White


Lastly, one of my personal favorites....
Color Theme 6: Sweet Messages

Sizes

Here is a picture summarizing the three heart sizes of small (message cookies), medium (plain edged or scalloped edged) and large. For more pictures - for scale or just to browse some of our other designs - check out our photo album here.














Packaging


The Valentine's Day cookies white bakery boxes. We can supply a personalized "To and From" tag. A ribbon bow can be added for $.50 for an extra special touch.
