Too Pretty To Eat

One more set of twins graduating this season, and my only non-Gilbert high school this year. Some traditional grad designs mixed with a couple things that make these ladies unique. On to big things!

Traditional grad designs, but the grad herself is gluten-free. Since my cookie kitchen normally does nothing but bake up gluten, I can't promise a completely risk-free product. I do, however, do my best to make sure everything I use is thoroughly cleaned ahead of time and kept separate throughout the whole baking and decorating process. Congratulations, Madison, the last of this year's former Falcon grads!

Okay, so grad cookies, but make them prettier than grad cookies. 😉 Breaking up my Gilbert High color palette a bit with a softer, more feminine graduation set. I've watched this grad grow from a teeny tiny preschooler to a gorgeous and capable young woman. Congratulations, Olivia!

Most of my high school graduation orders this year were all for the same school, but none were identical. This first client wanted to add a fun spin - school colors but no cap, gown, or diploma cookies. And my first of two sets of twin cookies this season! I love how these turned out. So fun!

Okay, okay....I guess since I just finished decorating the last of the grad orders, I had better get to posting the in between ones! These guys headed across the country earlier this month to celebrate a college grad at an HBCU in North Carolina - Johnson C. Smith University. It's always fun to see my cookies travel so far!

The first grad order of the season went out the door last weekend. Congratulations, Master Pam!
This is definitely my busy season, and this year I have more than 20 dozen in custom orders for the month of May! (And, in case you're wondering, the answer is no. I am no longer taking graduation orders for this season. I still teach full time, so this is me maxed out.)

A stogie and a brew before I say I do! After making the cookies for the bride's bachelorette weekend, I was then enlisted to follow up with groomsmen gifts. Twelve groomsmen is a lot of testosterone in one place!

Playing a little catch up today, and starting with a tenth birthday order for a Fortnite lover. Sometimes you have to get creative with very specific themes, utilizing plaque and basic shape cutters, and turning a llama 🦙 cutter into a Loot Llama! 🪅

Lots of room for creativity with an egg shape! Play around and have fun... there's no wrong way!

Wet-on-wet designs can be as simple or complicated as you feel ready for. Here's a way to allow yourself more play time with the technique by splitting the cookie into sections.

Missed out on pre-orders? I have a couple of spare kits available for pickup this evening or tomorrow morning!

Dragging, or feathering, is such a simple technique with a major wow factor. Just a toothpick is all you need!
