{Sugar Bee} Magical Unicorn Baby Shower Cookie Set

Yesterday a mama-to-be had a magical baby shower to celebrate the upcoming arrival of her baby girl, Olivia. To accompany her special day, I created a set of delicious and adorable unicorn themed cookies. To say I was excited to make unicorn cookies would be an understatement. There is just something about unicorns that are so fun and mesmerizing. They are just full of glitz, color, and magic!

When I was designing the set, I knew I wanted the color scheme to consist of pretty pinks, purples, blues, and accents of gold. Since the theme is of unicorns, I of course wanted the main designs to be a full unicorn and a unicorn head. However, because the party was a baby shower, I thought it was important to feature the baby's name and include the word "baby". So I used my unicorn name plaque to highlight Olivia's name, and a cute heart shape to feature the word "baby". Lastly, I wanted to create a pretty floral design that featured a gold unicorn horn because I think that flowers just compliment unicorns so nicely....and who doesn't love flowers, especially at baby showers. 

This cookie set was absolutely one of my favorite sets to create and I hope that everyone loved them as much as I loved making them!

Congratulations to the mama-to-be, I hope you had a magical day! Here is to lots of love and best wishes on the upcoming arrival of your new bundle of joy.

{Sugar Bee} Charlotte Bear Turns 1

 

A "beary" sweet girl is turning 1 today and I can "bearly" contain my excitement for her and her family who are celebrating with what I know will be an adorable and memorable birthday party!

When Charlotte's mom asked for me to make cookies for her party, I was so honored and so delighted to be a small part of her little girl's special day. I was even more thrilled when I was told the party theme. Charlotte's parents call her "Charlotte Bear" and they wanted to have a bear themed party with cookies inspired by my Mama Bear cookie set I did this past year. Well I absolutely loved that set and I thought that it was such a cute and original party theme!

I had so much fun designing this set! I knew that the bears would be the main designs and would feature Charlotte's nickname. I also wanted to feature the age she is turning, so I created a few cookies that highlighted a "1". They are all so cute, I can hardly pick a favorite. I just really love how this set came together and I hope that Charlotte and her family enjoy them even more than I enjoyed making them!

Happy 1st Birthday, Charlotte! I hope you have a "beary" special day filled with so much love, laughter, and cake!
