{Sugar Bee} Emmy's Sweet One

This weekend Emmy is celebrating her "Sweet One" and I am so thrilled that I got to help make her day a little bit sweeter with an adorable watermelon cookie set!

When Emmy's mom contacted me to make cookies for her watermelon themed party, I was so excited because I have been wanting to create cookies for this birthday theme for ages now! So it was quick to the sketch pad to design cookies that would be perfect for Emmy's very special day.

Emmy's mom definitely knew she wanted to include a watermelon Popsicle, so that was a must in the collection. This may be my favorite cookie of the entire set!

Next I wanted to include a watermelon slice, but I thought it would be fun if they had a little bite out of it.

My third design was a number one, because I love to include the age of the child and personalize it with their name to make it extra special. I incorporated the watermelons into the pattern, as well as added a pearlized green stripe that is reminiscent of a watermelon rind.

My final design was to incorporate the party slogan, "Sweet One". I used the pearlized green stripe pattern for unity and to help contrast with the shades of pink. To bring everything together, I added a sweet rosette and leaf to all of the cookies for an extra touch of pretty.
 
 
 
 
 
I love how this set turned out and I hope Emmy and her mom love them even more!

Happy first birthday Sweet One! I hope Emmy's momentous day is filled with so much love, joy, and watermelon, surrounded by her adoring family!

{Sugar Bee} Batter up! Henry is turning ONE!

 
Batter up! Henry is hitting the big the ONE and his special day will surely be lots of fun! 

Time has certainly flown by! It wasn't long ago that Henry's mom was planning for his baby shower, now she is planning his first birthday and I was very happy to be able to assist with creating some treats to make this milestone extra sweet! 

Henry is having a baseball themed first birthday and his mama entrusted me to design some cookies that would compliment his birthday cake and overall theme. When I was sketching I wanted the set to include the essential baseball equipment. So I decided up a baseball bat, baseball, and jersey, but I wanted to personalize them so that they featured the birthday boy's name and age!
I hope the birthday boy and his family love the cookies as much as I loved making them, and though his celebration will be a very small and intimate gathering, I am sure Henry's biggest fans will be showering him with so much love and joy for this momentous occasion in Henry's life!

Back to School Sweet Treats!

I can't believe that school is set to begin next week! Where has the time gone?! With the students starting school online, they may not be feeling the same back to school butterflies or excitement as previous years. So this year I thought it was extra important that I try and help my fellow parents make their kids first day back a little more special and a whole lot sweeter!

I was so thrilled to create my first set of mini cookies! These circus animal cookies are just so cute and will make any student or teacher "wild" about school and excited for their first day back!


I also wanted to create traditional sets of back to school cookies for my customers! So this year I made backpack cookies in four different colors and patterns, a notebook paper cookie, and of course, an apple!

These sets will make such fun treats to celebrate the start of the year and will certainly put a smile on your child's face!

Wishing your kiddos a sweet school year and a wonderful 1st day back!
