Lady, this is not a Grand Illusion! You're Fooling Yourself if you think I can't turn your vision into a cookie. Come Sail Away with me on this cookie adventure and maybe we'll meet Mr. Roboto along the way.

OK, that was cheesy. Apparently I have Too Much Time on My Hands!

Seriously, though, these were for a group of couples going to see Styx Live at the Garden in Memphis. From what I understand, they had a great time, the concert was fun, and they loved the cookies!

Games, Games, Games!

Who doesn't love a good game? My husband is a poker guy, but he tells me I'm terrible. Apparently I can't keep a straight face no matter how hard I try.

Do you need a poker face to play Bridge? Although I've never played, I had a creative request for some Bridge cookies with key Bridge phrases on them. Along with a dozen red and black suits, I think they came out really cute! 

How about Mah Jongg? My parents play. My grandma played. My mom has tried to teach my sister and me on a number of occasions, but I just don't have the knack. I think Solitaire is more my speed.

I made Mah Jongg cookies ages ago, and while they were nice I think these new ones turned out much nicer. Once again, practice makes better.

Do you have a favorite game you'd like to eat in cookie form? :)

Take Me Out to the Ballgame

I love baseball. The ballpark, the peanuts, the players..... I think it started in 1986 when my parents and grandparents took us to our first MLB game. Mets vs. Padres, if I recall. They dragged my sister and me kicking and screaming, but we were hooked immediately. The Mets won the World Series that year and I've been waiting for them to repeat that ever since (much to the amusement of my Yankees-fan-husband).

The only team I like watching better than my Mets is my son's baseball team. Our weekends may be long, but I love hanging out at the park watching him play.

This year was the first year that I wasn't able to make cookies for his team because I had so many other orders. He understood, and I promised him I'd make sure his team made the schedule next year.

Here are a few of the orders that prevented his team from getting cookies....

For the Black Sox in Michigan, personalized jerseys and baseballs:

For the Germantown Rays here in TN:

Let's go Mets! :)

Happy Father's Day!

I'm lucky to have great dads in my life. Happy Father's Day to my dad who has been a great role model for me my whole life. You've taught me well and I couldn't ask for a better Dad.

Happy Father's Day to my hubby, too, who is an amazing Dad to our kiddos. We appreciate all you do for us!

Although the fathers in my life weren't lucky enough to get cookies, I did have time to do one Father's Day cookie order. These were totally custom cookies for a cool dad who likes cycling. His daughter sent me pictures of his 2 favorite bikes and his 3 favorite cycling jerseys and asked me to turn them into cookies. They were a labor of love, but I think they turned out pretty cool!

Happy Father's Day, Bob, and thanks for the creative order, Renee! (And thanks to Bob for allowing me to use his pictures on the blog!)

Happy Father's Day to all the dads out there! Have a wonderful day!

Custom Gift Boxes

Do you only need a few cookies to give as a gift? Consider a personalized gift box. Each box can hold 4-8 cookies depending on their sizes, and they range in price from about $12 to $25 depending on the amount of detail and personailzation.

Here are a few I did recently. The Detroit Tigers box was an end-of-the-year thank you gift for a teacher, and the Michigan Tech box was for a recent high school graduate who will be heading off to college in the fall.

Check out some other custom gift boxes HERE.

Goal!

Some of my most popular cookies are sports cookies. I make them for fans, for coaches, for teams, for birthdays, for fun, for luck..... you name it!

These soccer cookies were for Morgan's entire team at the end of a great season. Each girl and each coach got a ball and a personalized jersey.

How would your team jersey look as a cookie?

Bat Mitzvah Logos

These cookie favors were shipped to NYC for a beautiful girl's Bat Mitzvah. She is the granddaughter of our long-time family friends who we used to spend many of our holidays with growing up in Buffalo.

She picked beautiful colors for her Bat Mitzvah invitations and they asked me to match her "logo" for 125 cookie favors. I hope everyone had a fabulous time and loved the cookies.

Mazel Tov, Maddy!

Babies!

Some of my earliest cookie orders were for baby onesies and I still love doing them. They're so cute, and they're a nice big size so they can be given away as favors at a shower or served for dessert. Here's a sampling of my latest set of onesies... They were in all different colors but they all coordinated.

These rattles and squares were a portion of a platter for a baby naming and they were designed to match the decorations. I just love the colors!

Earth Day

Happy Earth Day! Although these Earth cookies were not technically for Earth Day (they were logo cookies), I though it would be fitting to post them today.

Send a smile

Do you know someone who could use a little pick-me-up? Send cookies! Here's a platter that went out to Texas for a mom who broke her ankle but still had kiddos to take care of. Someone thought she needed a little cheer, so hearts and balloons were in order!

Is there someone in your life who needs some love?

More School Logos

In addition to college logos, I can do elementary schools, middle schools and high schools too! These GL logos were part of a platter for a graduation party for a Gull Lake, Michigan grad.

And these were for Rossville Christian Academy's fall fundraiser.

How would your school's logo look on a cookie?? 

Place Card Cookies

If you want to make a statement at a party, consider place card cookies. They are simple and elegant, and are the perfect addition to your party table.

Place card cookies can be any shape and color imaginable. The guest of honor at this intimate dinner party likes blue and yellow, so Phyllis the hostess chose those colors.

I used my plaque cookie cutter, which I just love. It's from PlasticsInPrint and it's a nice substantial size, which makes for an impressive cookie.

Phyllis was kind enough to share a picture of one of the cookies on her table. Thanks, Phyllis! I hope Tina had a very happy birthday!

Totally Custom

If you can dream it up, I can probably create it in cookie form. Part of the fun for me is turning what you've imagined into edible art. I love a challenge! Check out these custom cookies:
