{Sugar Bee} Paw Prints Chocolate Covered Oreos

My daughter's birthday is only a few days away and I have started setting up her dessert table  and creating the sweet treats that go with her party theme. Here is a sneak peek of the chocolate covered Oreos that will be served at her "pawty"! Can you guess her theme?!

{Sugar Bee} Baseball Sugar Cookies

This year we enrolled my daughter in a softball league since she enjoyed t-ball so much last year. It is so much fun to watch her play and cheer her on! Therefore, as a start to the season I wanted to create some cookies to kick off opening day. So I decided to make some traditional baseball cookies to celebrate their first day ceremony and games! Here's to a great season watching the Ninja Penguins!

{Sugar Bee} Stuck on You Valentine's Cookie Collection

As an Arizonian, I thought it would be fitting to come up with a collection that was someone indicative of the southwest...so I came up with a set that was filled with hearts, lips, and lovable cacti! Because really, what's a better way to say Happy Valentine's Day than with cute cacti cookies!

When I was designing these, I wanted to create a festive holiday color scheme to mesh with the desert plants. So I used a palette that is comprised of different hues of green, pops of red and white, with small accents of gold. I patterned the gold hearts on the saguaro cactus to reinforce the lovely feeling of Valentine's Day, which also resembles the heart cookies with their red and gold sprinkles. In addition, I created the lips cookie to resemble the lips on the potted female. I love how these cookies work well as a set, but they also break up into single gifts, or mini sets so nicely!

These cookies are "looking sharp" and are ready for Valentine's Day. I hope that everyone is as "stuck on" these cookies as I am! 

{Sugar Bee} Galentine's Day Sugar Cookies

At first glance, these cookies look just like cute girly sugar cookies, but let me tell you that these are much more! These cookies are for the gal pals who want to celebrate the ladies in their lives whom they love. Because Valentine's Day isn't just for the spouses and significant others....no, no, no, Galentine's day is specifically for the ladies to come together and enjoy a day of fun, silliness, and girl power with their besties without testes!

So when I decided upon the designs, I knew that the cookies alone wouldn't necessarily read "Galentine's Day". Therefore, I created little tags that were packaged with each individually wrapped cookie.

"Fries before Guys" is the caption for this adorable box of french fries! And let me say I do love my Friench fries!

"Tacos before Vatos" any day....because tacos are just about the best food ever! And they go great with a large margarita!

"Chicks before Pricks" is this little cuties' caption. And what a better way for Arizona ladies to say girls rule!

Galentine's Day is definitely a light-hearted and funny way for both married and single ladies to celebrate the gal pals in their lives. So don't forget to wish all your ladies a Happy Galentine's Day!

{Sugar Bee} All-Star Cookies for Valentine's Day

This year I had such a difficult time deciding on cookie designs for Valentine's Day. There are just so many design ideas to choose from! However, I knew that this was definitely the year to get my game face on and create some cookies that would be fun for both big and little athletes! So I chose to do some fun sports balls, but these aren't your ordinary balls, they are cute heart shaped balls...perfect for both boys AND girls!

My All-Star Valentine's Sugar Cookie Collection is comprised of three different heart shaped sports balls; baseballs, footballs, and basketballs. I really loved the small dot pattern that I used on the football and basketball replicating the texture on those balls. However, my favorite are the baseballs! I can't get enough of the red hearts that make up the stitching on the ball, and the shading around the outside of the hearts give that antique or worn feel....so many hearts for these!

I hope the recipients of these All-Star cookies have a ball eating these sweet treats this Valentine's Day!

{Sugar Bee} Vampirina Cookies for Emery's 4th Birthday

This past Fall I made some Vampirina themed cookies for my niece's daughter's birthday party. Well shortly after I posted the cookies, my friend messaged me saying that her sweet daughter would love them because she is also a Vampirina fan! So of course when Emery's birthday rolled around, I had to make some Vampirina themed cookies!

Though the set I created was only comprised of two designs, they were filled with great details! The number 4 cookie I created using a pretty purple color, patterned with a pearlized spider web, and detailed with a little bat. But the best part of these cookies is the personalization with the birthday girl's name! Of course the set wouldn't be the same for Emery without the Vampirina cookies. This plaque cookie is patterned with small gray bats and features Vampirina's face. Definitely a cookie that the birthday girl will go batty over!

This set was a labor of love and I am so happy with how they turned out. I hope the birthday girl has a fang-tastic day! Happy Birthday, Emery!
