Late Mother's Day flowers.



I made these pink and white flower cookies to send to my mom for mother's day. Unfortunately, I they didn't actually get made until Mother's Day, and my mom lives 12 hours away from here, so they arrived a good while after Mother's Day...

Now I'm talking about them almost a month after Mother's Day, so I guess I should just call them Spontaneous Summer Flowers for My Mom.



I kept it simple with only 2 icing colors for the designs. Sometimes simple is better, especially with flowers and bright colors.



The tulips are my favorite.



Or maybe the daisies...




I like them all! They are chocolate cookies after all, and chocolate is great no matter what shape.

Georgia Tech Graduation cookies



I can't believe it's been almost a month since I last updated my blog! These last few weeks have flown by. Andrew and I took a trip to Ashville to see the Biltmore House and my wonderful parents, Andrew's parents came all the way from Iowa to visit us, and Andrew's spent most of his free time studying for finals.

Luckily for the future of my blog, I've also been baking cookies! These Yellow Jacket cookies were made for my brilliant cousin, Joey, who just graduated from Georgia Tech.



I didn't have a GT mascot cookie cutter sitting around, so I just used a circular cookie and drew on the design. They aren't perfectly uniform, but I'm pretty happy with how they turned out considering I don't have a way to project the image onto the cookie.



I packaged all the cookies up individually for the trip, and I'm told they all made in to my Aunt whole!


Congratulations Joey! I hope you liked the cookies!
