These NYC themed cookies were ordered as a gift for a couple moving to the Big Apple. So many iconic images to draw inspiration from. Here is what I came up with to help the new New Yorkers celebrate their big move. Enjoy!

Take a bite!

Aaaar - Rated Cookies

So I finally got the call for some naughty bachelorette cookies that I knew would come my way one of these days! The party planner wanted a platter of penis shaped cookies, but gave me the out that if that was too risque for my delicate sensibilities that I could do pirate themed cookies instead. Lightbulb moment! I asked her if we could combine the two themes and do some pirate penis cookies. I was envisioning peni with one wooden ball, a gold hoop on this one, an eye patch on that one. Maybe a parrot perched on top of another... This was either going to be completely awesome or a complete miss. Take a look at this tribute to the seaman (the only cookie my husband's ever refused to try). Enjoy!

So where to begin? The cookie cutters. I knew I had some stuff on hand that I could possibly use without buying a penis-shaped cutter.

Screwdriver? Possibly.

Skyscraper? Nah. Balls are too square.

Lighthouse on its side? Hmmm...

Bowling pin and ball on its side? Bingo!

I tried out all my whacked out ideas and found that the kerchief and crossbones were really the best way to go.

The hostess's great tag line.

To Do List Birthday Cake

What a great cake idea. This legal pad cake was in honor of the birthday boy's propensity to fill spiral bound notebooks with daily to-do lists. They requested his company logo as well (done as a sugar cookie medallion, along with the spiral binding at the top). A very sweet and thoughtful birthday cake. Enjoy!

Luau Birthday Cookies

Aloha! I can hear the gentle strumming of the ukulele when I think about these cookies! This colorful and tropical platter was created for a darling one year old's luau birthday party. So slather on some coco butter and sip a fruity drink as you check out the photos from this collection. Enjoy!
