{Sugar Bee} Houston, we have a birthday! Jake is 10!


3...2…1…BLAST OFF! Our Jake is 10 years old today and though this year we will be celebrating a little differently then we have in the past, we are still planning on having fun and showering him with lots of love, laughter, and cookies!

This year I was given the theme of outer space, and boy did I shoot for the stars with this cookie set! My first thought was that I needed to create a little astronaut with his rocket ship....it is of course what I think of when I think of NASA. They really make the perfect pairing, but it wasn't complete without the moon and the stars. I kept the stars very simple, but I wanted the moon slightly more detailed with craters and texture to mimic the moon's surface. Last, I thought...what is all of this without the galaxy and planets?! So I took my number 10 cutter to highlight the birthday boy's age and created the look of space featuring a few planets. This set is one small step for me, but one giant leap for Jake's special day and I know he will love them!
Happy 10th birthday to my lovable boy! This year will be OUT OF THIS WORLD!

{Sugar Bee} Quarantine "Prescription Chill Pills"

 

With the weeks of being at home in quarantine and the challenges of navigating through this strange time, I thought it would be fun to make some cookies that would life someone’s spirits or just give them a little chuckle! I figured that my customers probably knew someone that could use a pick-me up or just needs a dose of happiness that only a sweet treat can bring. So I created a box of “prescription chill pills” to put a smile on their face and little something yummy in their tummy!

These boxes consisted of 4 sugar cookies that resemble gel capsule and aspirin pills and are packaged with a label that looks like a prescription. Though you will noticed that the logo and the wording is just for fun and has a bakers spin on it! The best part is that the label allows my customers to fill out the name of the "patient" (to whom the box is being gifted) and the name of the "prescriber" (the person gifting the box). Overall, I thought it was such a cute way to show someone that you care and is just what the doctor ordered!
