My customer left me a note to say the birthday girl enjoyed it so much she asked for another for Christmas!

Next up was an order for sports balls, For a little boys 1st birthday. I had heaps of fun making these, have seen them done with fondant but wasnt sure how the RI would turn out but i all went well!

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.

Moooooooo Cows

Cows, cows, cows, wow, so popular!
I made up a cow bouquet for an order and then suddenly everyone wanted cows!
I had a great time doing them, although one order (that sadly, I didn't take pictures of)  was for 50 or so cows, choc, vanilla, some brown, some black/white, for a fundraiser at a local hospital, left me with a VERY sore hand after wards. Think I was squeezing too hard!

This Bouquet was what started the whole thing..

Then I was emailed an order for this one...

Same thing but GREEN accents.

also the order from my Aunty that is in my last post but another pic anyway!

Birthday Biscuit Bouquets!

(Still playing catch up from last year!)

My mum actually ordered these for 2 of her friends and a workmates birthday (I still charged her! LOL)

Flowers and B's (bees and butterflies) hard to see here all the biscuits..

here are the Bees...

and the flowers..

and the butterflies!


This one was for my Mums work collegue, she is into kawaii type stuff and Hello kitty etc, so I did this one for her.

and before it was done up...

please disregard the lack of kitty whiskers! I took the photo and was looking at them for quite a bit before thinking "derrr...where are her whiskers???"

This last one I did for my friend, bit of a story here, We went out for dinner and a movie that night, consequently we were a bit tipsy by the time we got home, my dear friend left her biscuits on the floor in the loungeroom when she got home, only to awaken in the morning to find that her dog had made a meal of them during the night!! Gotta laugh....!

it's been a while!

I have been slack with posting, but I have been busy! last saturday was a very crazy and hectic day. I finished decorating and packaging my friends baby shower Biscuits

I also finished up and wrapped my little friend "kitty" Bouquet

I made a start on my first order, I baked and iced 15 round cookies, in varying bright colours. I made up some mini melting moments to take to my parents and for my Sister in Law. I then packed up all mine and Jbaby stuff to go stay at my parents place for the night,so by 4pm I was driving in one direction to drop off the kitty Bouquet, I think my friend really liked it! While there I was fielding phone calls from my friend with the baby shower, trying to organise a place to meet so I could hand over his biscuits.

I then started driving in the opposite direction, towards my parents place (they live about an hour away from me!) around the halfway mark I met my friend at a shopping centre carpark and dropped his biscuits to him, he was impressed! He really wanted to pay me, but I just made him promise to tell everyone who made them and give my phone number! 

I then continued driving, but I didn't go to my parents yet, I needed to drop in on my Sister in Law who had gotten out of hospital that day, as soon as I pulled up at her place I got a phone call from Dad "Tea's ready, where are you??" oops, It all took a bit longer than I thought it would! I had a quick visit with Sis in law, said I would come back the next day, gave her her melting moments and I was on my way again, luckily my parents only live just up the road from her.

Saturday night was nice, Jbaby slept well, we left the next morning and after visiting Sis in law again quickly we came home again.

DISASTER!!! The icing on the round biscuits for my order had gone all funny! Silly me didn't use enough icing sugar! I could have slapped myself!!

So that night I made another batch up, I made them bigger, then I had the idea of using the packet of roll out icing I had in the cupboard, so I coloured lots of balls of icings in different colours and rolled it out as thin as I could (I'm not a big fan of fondant icing, especially thick layers of it) and cut out disks of it to place on top of the biscuits, advantage of that being there is less drying time and I could get on to the personalisation quicker.

I used my ABC cutters to cut out the first letters of the childs name in contrasting colours, then used black royal icing to outline and pipe the rest of the name. I was very happy with the result! 

I think they look kinda comic booky.
