Friends from the North Pole Cookie Collection

It is Christmas day and boy did it come quickly! With 2020 being such a crazy year, I thought that this year I wanted to try something a little different but very special for my cookie designs! 

My "Friends from the North Pole Cookie Collection" are very cute 3 inch cookies and are stacked with a mini cookie for a 3D look. So each cookie has a bonus mini cookie attached to it! 

The gingerbread girl and wreath are stacked with a cute mini bow cookie, the Santa gnome and Rudolph are stacked with a mini nose, the snowman is stacked with a mini carrot nose, and the gingerbread boy is stacked with a mini piping bag. 

I absolutely love how these turned out and I hope that my customers and their friends and family love them just as much! 


 Merry Christmas! Wishing you a very blessed day filled with love, laughter, and of course cookies!

Merry Christmas!

Merry Christmas from my family to yours! Wishing you a wonderful and relaxing holiday filled with love, treats, and laughter, and I hope the magic of Christmas fills every corner of your heart and home with joy — now and always.

{Sugar Bee} Hanukkah Cookie Kit

This year I wanted to create a fun and sweet activity for all my Jewish friends to do with their family this Hanukkah! I thought that my cookie decorating kit would be the perfect addition to their festivities. They are so much fun for children, but I have found that adults enjoy decorating cookies just as much. 

For those that ordered, I hope that your kits give you that quality time this holiday season to spend with just the kids, your family, or close friends! Have a wonderful time decorating!

Sending you wishes of peace, love, and joy this Hanukkah!


 Happy Hanukkah!

{Sugar Bee} Happy Retirement Sherrie

 

This week I created a set of cookies for my Aunt's colleague and friend who was retiring after many years. She wanted to send her off with a wonderful celebration that was fit for someone who enjoys the cabin life, so what better way to say "happy trails" than with adorable sugar cookies!

The theme of the party was just too cute and I was very excited to have been able to make these cookies! I immediately thought of all the great stuff that we experience when spending time in a cabin. 

The first cookies I thought of were the s'mores designs! I don't know about you, but I love to roast marshmallows by the fire and make s'mores, so I created two designs. One with a cute little smiley face, the other with the saying "wish we had s'more time together". They were both so cute, we had to make both! 

The second design I wanted to create was the name plaque with the pine trees. I think of all the beautiful green trees when we go up north to stay in a cabin and I thought we needed that in the cookie set. So I airbrushed little trees and personalized the plaque with the name of the retiree, Sherrie. On that same note, I created little tree cookies with snow on them, since we are approaching that time of year.

Next, I wanted to incorporate a camp fire. I think that sitting by the fire is always such a cozy and fun way to relax and enjoy the outdoors. With this cookie design I airbrushed the flames with a couple different colors for a very cool effect.

Last, but not least, I created a camping mug that says "happy retirement" that is topped with hot chocolate and marshmallows, because who doesn't love a hot cup of cocoa on a cold day when staying in a cabin!

This set turned out so cute and I hope Sherrie loved them as much as I loved making them! Happy retirement!

{Sugar Bee} Elf on the Shelf Mini Cookie Kits

This year I thought it would be fun to create an activity for my customer's elves to bring to their kiddos all the way from the North Pole. I figured that my mini cookie kit was the perfect size and it allowed the kids to be delightfully surprised by their elf while also able to create a little holiday treat to enjoy! 

When I envisioned the elves in the morning with this cute cookie kit, I pictured the elf sitting on top of the kit holding a little message to their kiddo. I thought this was a great way for my customer's elves to return to their home or they can even wait and have it as an activity to do another day! Either way, their children will be so excited to decorate cookies that were brought to them by their favorite elf!

Happy holidays and happy cookie decorating!

{Sugar Bee} Their Back! Elf on the Shelf Cookies!


Our favorite little elf will be making their highly anticipated return to households all over the world this week to begin their silly and fun shenanigans. I am sure parents everywhere are thrilled that these magical elves will be here to watch all the kiddos to make sure they are behaving and reporting everything to Santa!
 
Arranging the elves to look like they have been up to something is probably the most difficult but totally satisfying task during the holidays. That is why I like to create a few options for my customers to choose from when making Elf on the Shelf cookies. 
 
The Elf on the Shelf plaque cookie is always fun for the kiddos elf to say "I'm Back" or have their name on the plaque and in a separate letter or note they can state their arrival! This year I offered a complimentary note to go along with their elf plaque cookies. 
 
The cookie sheet/tray is one of my favorites to arrange because just by placing some sugar and flour on the counter and tossing some of it on the table (those messy little elves), the elf looks like he has been baking all night. The elf can hold the tray on his/her lap and the mini wooden rolling pins is just the cutest touch to show the kids that the cookie was made by their elf just for them!
 
My pizza and box is probably my best seller and customer favorite! These little pizza cookies come in their own "North Pole Pizza Overnight Elf Delivery" box. The box even has a little green banner to add a name! This is totally fun by itself, but I think would be even more fun if combined with a note or the ingredients to make little pizzas for lunch or dinner later that day!
 
These cute cookies will be a sweet way for these adorable elves to say "I'm Back" and help my fellow parents with one less thing to come up with during this busy month! Kiddos eyes will light up when they see what their elf brought them from the North Pole! 
 
I hope your children have a magical week with the arrival of their elves!

{Sugar Bee} Boo-tiful Halloween Sugar Cookies

These cookies scared up some fun on my Halloween dessert table this year! The boo-tiful ghosts and jolly Jack O' Lanterns made a comeback this year, but I included a creepy candy corn and a Halloween gnome to add to our fang-tastic night!

This crew certainly helped us have a Happy Halloween!
