And the last of the cakes... for now.

Okay, here are a few more cookie cakes. I really had fun doing this set of cookies, but they were kind of a problem for me. I finished them up on wednesday, and they set out on the table covered in wax paper until friday morning. I couldn't figure out what to do with them. I loved them so much I didn't want to give them away! Admittedly I did eat 2 on wednesday as I was decorating and they broke, but other than that I didn't really feel like eating them. I couldn't bare to give them away either, they were all so pretty and I really think I was afraid no one would appreciate them.

But by friday morning they were still layed out on the counter relatively untouched and I knew I couldn't keep them around forever. So I gingerly packed them up and carted them off to my husband's office (bonus:he brings shipleys in every friday) and unceremoniously dropped them off the in the kitchen (and took a donut for the road). I didn't want to know if people liked them or WORSE hated them. I loved them, and that was enough for me.
This is my favorite inspiration cake.

And my favorite look a like cookie.

I tried some of the same scrolls on the green.

And then some more blue and white.
And I couldn't leave out the polkies all together. So I loosely copied this cake.
With this cookie...

And then I went all kinds of polkie crazy...

But the brown and white polks are my favorite, I kept that one. hmmm, its time to confess... I have five cookies, including the first three scrollies on this post and the brown and white polkies in zip loc bags on my counter. I really don't know what I'm doing with them. I seriously doubt I will eat them. I think I might take them to my mom, cause I know she'll fawn over them like I feel they deserve. I am really beginning to believe I have an unhealthy attachment to these cookies!!!

a) do you think it is significant that your favorite inspiration cake is carolina blue?

b) um, didn't you know they would be appreciated if you dropped them off at my house?

c) it is teacher appreciation week at school for connor, do you think we can make some cookies for his teachers? I'm not sure what? Apples, school busses (even though he is in pre-school) . . .

d) very nice job on the cakes. precious.

how are you coming on ideating for the "june bug" cake balls? I think we should make flower cookies for the junebug cake balls to sit on. I also think I am going to make a "junebug" cake . . . but probably just a family party for her this year.

I have lots of "gourmet" cookie dough in the fridge so I think we can easily get some cutie cookies for connor's teachers. I don't really have anything to blog about this week if we don't do cookies.

I think the june bugs will be easy and cute, no worries there.
