This is one I'm especially proud of.... Kristie Rodas is my sister!

Doesn't she do a great job?! This was her FIRST attempt at making decorated cookies (besides the ones we did as a kid for Christmas... lots of green frosting and red hots!) and I think it's very impressive!

If anyone is in Utah and needs some cookies made, I can tell you how to find her! :)

Thanks Kristie!!




Valarie Enters sent these pictures to me and I think they are so great!

Thety are all so cute and so original! (I especially love the bear)

She lives in Central Florida, and entered the cookies in her county fair where she got 2nd place! (Looks like first place to me!)

Thank you Valarie!





Andrea Schnur does beautiful cookie baskets in Gaithersburg Maryland.

I am so impressed. I really love the idea of the sugar on the roses!

Thanks so much for sending the pictures Andrea!









These cookies were created by Maria Short, owner and operator of Creative Pastries in Bellingham, WA. I just love these little bonnets she made by stacking two round cookies on top of each other. Very cute!

You must check out the rest of her cookies on her Web site.

I should also add that Maria is a very talented cake decorator as well. Browse around her site to see some outstanding creations! Thanks, Maria!!




This picture was sent in by Tibisay Vegas de Perdiz from Mexico City, Mexico. It was a bouquet done for Father's Day this year (Abuelo means Grandfather in Spanish), and I think it is absolutely adorable!

Tiby just started her cookie business and it has taken off. She says the cookies taste just as good as they look, which is great! I think their business is going to do very well.

Tiby and her friend Ileana also sell cakes and chocolates. If you'd like to contact them for cookies or cakes, you can call or email. Thanks Tiby!

These photo cookies are from Margaret Motley. She says,

"I got so many compliments on these cookies! The wedding guests were very impressed! I use the dry powder fondant to "glue" the edible photo onto the cookie, and then the border is in royal, they are definitely stackable, and stay soft."

What a great idea for wedding favors! Thank you Margaret.

You can go to the Motley's Munchies Web site to see more of Margaret's work.




This picture is from Jenny C. She says,

"This is my 1st (& only so far) cookie bouquet. I got the idea from the 1998 Wilton Yearbook. I made this bouquet for my daughter's 4th grade teacher as a Christmas gift."
