Wedding Sugar Cookies

Here are some sugar cookies I made for a wedding.  They were presented to the bride and groom at the wedding reception.

Peter Rabbit Sugar Cookies

These Peter Rabbit sugar cookies were made for a baby shower.  The baby shower was a tea party so I decided to put the Peter Rabbit design on a sugar cookie tea-pot.  I put on my artist cap and tried my hand at painting the cookie to make it look like the pictures in the Peter Rabbit book.

New Twist on a Favorite Sugar Cookie Bouquet

I was asked to do some small sugar cookie bouquets as table center pieces for a luncheon.  I was going to put only 3 sugar cookies in each sugar cookie bouquet.  Because there were only going to be 3 sugar cookies in each sugar cookie bouquet center piece I decided to try something new – a double-sided sugar cookie.  For each sugar cookie I decorated both sides of the cookie.  I didn’t want people on one side of the table looking at the undecorated backside of a sugar cookie.

It was fun to try this – here’s how they turned out:

Sponge Bob Square Pants Sugar Cookies

I had a lot of fun doing these Spongebob Squarepants sugar cookies.  These were for a friend’s granddaughter’s birthday.

Sugar Cookie Bouquet for a Dance Teacher

I did this sugar cookie bouquet for a teacher at a dance studio.  I did a sugar cookie bouquet for the same teacher last year so I needed to do something completely different from what I did last year.  I decided to include the dance studio’s logo on one of the sugar cookies.

Teacher Appreciation Sugar Cookie Bouquet

Well, the school year has ended and I created several dozen sugar cookies and sugar cookie bouquets for kids to give to their teachers to say Thank You for all they do.

Here are some mini sugar cookies that I did for an elementary school teacher:

Popcorn Sugar Cookies

When I was doing the sugar cookie bouquet for the Docutah event, I wanted to make some small bite size sugar cookie samples to hand out at the reception before the film.  And nothing goes better with a film than popcorn – so I decided to try to make some sugar cookie popcorn.  Here is what I came up with:

If you want to know how I did the popcorn, please keep reading.

First I cut out small bite size flowers and then I “chunked” them, which basically means I cut out chunks from the flowers, and then I “smooshed” them:

At this point I was still a little skeptical that it would look like popcorn.  But I pressed on and added the royal icing to the popcorn sugar cookies.

Once I put the finished sugar cookies in the popcorn bucket I was pleased with how they turned out.  Something kind of fun and unexpected.  I think these sugar cookies in a little popcorn bucket would make a cute gift to give to someone along with some movie tickets.

I was asked again this year to make a sugar cookie bouquet for Docutah, the southern Utah documentary film festival held in St. George, UT.   A special event was held to promote the festival and as part of that event they had a panel present to discuss the documentary that was shown.  To say thank you to the panel members, they gave each of them a cookie from the bouquet.

Easter Sugar Cookies

It’s time for Easter sugar cookies!  Here are some I did for M&R Gallery of Photography.  They have an annual “chicks and bunny” day where kids can have their pictures taken with live chicks or a bunny. They wanted some chick sugar cookies – but I also thought they needed some bunny sugar cookies.

And of course it wouldn’t be Easter without Easter egg sugar cookies.  These are some Easter egg sugar cookies I did for a friend last year:
