Star Freaking Wars!
Coolest. Bride. Ever. We did a scaled down, last-minute dessert spread for a bride who wanted to give her hard core party guests a late night sweet treat. Along with some jumbo s'mores on a stick, Oreo truffles and Rice Krispie pops, we did this plate of Star Wars themed sugar cookies to surprise her new groom. I was trying to come up with a great tag line for these but I'll I could think of was "May "divorce" be with you!" Didn't seem quite appropriate at a wedding. Oh, well. Enjoy!
The Baddies.
R2D2 and C3PO
The Good Guys.
Chewbacca - What a Wookie!
Indeed.
Haunted Gingerbread House 2011
I'm so excited I could spit! I decided to be a little more proactive and gave the kind folks at Williams Sonoma a call to see if they were still interested in me maybe doing an in-store demo of their Halloween gingerbread house kit. Cut to 24 hours later and me emailing over my business deets for the flyer they're making up for my first ever WS class! I went down to the Brea store and picked up two gingerbread kits and just finished up this fantasy haunted house version. Next up - using solely what comes in the kit to show WS shoppers what they can do at home with their gingerbread houses if they don't already have a bunch of cookie decorating tools in their pantry. I'll break down some of this house's highlights in the photos below. Enjoy!
