More Biscuit Bouquets!

OK. Very last catch up post! promise :)
These are pics of the bouquets I havent previously posted that were ordered from me throughout the year.

This was to celebrate the birth of my new Nephew. My SIL (sister in love) is a vegan, so no eggs and no butter, what a head ache! LOL, I only ended up with 4 reasonable looking cookies, I used egg replacer and Nuttlex spread, I think I didn't chill the dough enough, so therefore all my biscuits spread terribly.
This was back in September, I also used egg replacer in the icing mix (instead of meringue powder) not realising I could have used a glaze (Duh!) I wasn't too impressed with the end result but SIL loved it just for the fact that she could ACTUALLY eat it! :)

This beautiful Red and black flowers bouquet is one I was quite pleased with. I made this one up for a friend of mine, anyone who knows her would agree that this is just her all over! so simple but effective! Was also my first go at chocolate sugar cookie dough, using real chocolate in the mix, not cocoa. Worked out really well.

Another Friends birthday, using my new princess cutters, Tiara, high heel shoes and dress! also a single birthday cake, covered in fondant and using a texture matt for the flower impressions, which I then coloured with my foodcolour pens.

yep, sorry, its not a bouquet, but I forgot to post this last time! 3 tiara/crowns for beautiful little girls 2nd birthday party.

My brother ordered this one and the one below for his bosses and a friend who got him the job. simple stars with a thank you message and "you're a star"
and another "flowers and B's" bouquet.

For Father in Law's Birthday, six stars with different messages all in blue and white, I also made a few "pecan fancies" (as I call them!) with my left over cookie dough, just shaped small bite size chunks then pressed in a pecan and baked, when cool I drizzled with royal icing, I heard they taste pretty good!

I had so much fun making this one! yes, purple is one of my fave colours, so working with it was a bonus, but I got to try out differet techniques for making hearts and trying out different ways to put messages on the cookies.

Ooops!this one isnt a bouquet either :)  I made these up for a dear friend who had a new baby girl.

This one I love! I had recently purchased some disco dust and had so much fun playing with it! Also the chosen colour scheme was great to work with, LOL.

These two were a bit of fun too, the baby shower one was a gift for a friend, with coloured onesies and ducks, the other for a birthday gift, 5 colourful flowers.

These went into a bouquet for my Brothers Birthday, forgot to take a decent pic of it assembled.
