{Sugar Bee} Frozen Cookies For Reese's 4th Birthday

Some cookies are worth melting for...and these are definitely those cookies! I recently had the pleasure of making cookies for a little girl named Reese who is turning 4. When Reese's mama ordered  Frozen themed cookies, I just knew that snowflakes, snow, and Elsa would be my main design inspiration.

The first design I created was the number four cookie. This cookie helped personalize the set with the birthday girl's age and name. Of course I wanted to keep with the frozen theme so I airbrushed silver snowflakes and added chunks of snow using sprinkles.

Because the birthday girl's favorite color is purple, I wanted to incorporate the color into the set, so I created snowflake cookies in a pretty shimmery purple.

To add a bit of Elsa to the set, I created Elsa's bodice using a heart shaped cookie and her crown on a plaque shaped cookie with silver snowflakes airbrushed to the surface. These two cookies really completed the set and emphasized the Frozen theme.

I hope the birthday girl loves these cookies as much as I loved creating them! Happy birthday, Reese! Wishing you a day full of warm hugs!

{Sugar Bee} Siren Season 2 Sugar Cookies

The new year was off to a great start for me at The Sugar Bee Bungalow as I was given an exciting order to complete! My brother, who is a talented screenwriter in Hollywood, asked me to create cookies to celebrate the premiere of the show, Siren's, second season. If you haven't seen this show, it airs on Freeform and it is a must watch! The first season can be streamed online and be prepared to get sucked into a full-on binge watching fest. The good news is that with only 10 episodes in the first season, you won't have much trouble finishing the episodes in time for the second season which premieres on January 24th, the bad news....it ends making you want to see more! Thankfully, the second season is only a few weeks away!

If you know my work, you know that I typically create cookies that are light, colorful, and very cutesy. Well, let me just say, Siren, isn't your typical mermaid show with a funny anthropomorphic crab and cute fish. So I found it quite a challenge to suppress the super cutesy and take on a more sophisticated and elegant approach. But after a little brainstorming and sketching, I came up with a set that I thought captured a more serious side to mermaids, without losing the lightheartedness. 

My clamshell cookie was one of my favorites as I created the design to look like rays of light under the ocean with a fin popping out the top. And of course having the name of the show written across the water really completed the design nicely.

I do love a good mermaid tail, so the second cookie I designed I used a plaque shape in which I patterned to look like the scales of a mermaid tail and then added a silhouette of the show's number one mermaid, Ryn's tail.

Last but not least, I wanted to highlight and celebrate that this is the show's second season, so I created a number 2 that I patterned with mermaid scales and then added some underwater elements such as bubbles and seaweed, and completed the design with "Season Two".

Overall I am so pleased with the set and I am even more excited to celebrate Siren's second season! Set your televisions to watch on January 24th on Freeform.

Here's to a great 2nd season!
