Brother/Sister Birthday Cookies

These arrangements were made for a joint birthday party for a brother/sister team. The celebration happened to land on Easter this year, hence the Easter bunny getting in on the action. These were a bit different than the typical decorated delectables bouquet because they were actually a combination of cookie bouquet and cookie platter, which emphasized the mugs that the client picked out for the occassion.


These were made to celebrate Randy's 50th birthday this year. These were some of the cookies that went around the bottom of the arrangement. They gave me the opportunity to try out some number cookies, and what better number to start out with than 50?

I also had the chance to try out some tool cookies. As you can see, all of these cookies are already packaged and ready to go into the arrangement. This is what happens when the baker/decorator/packager gets excited and forgets to take pictures of the cookies before they are packaged!

These are a few of the cookies that went into Becky's arrangement. Happy Birthday! Since the party fell on Easter, I used a lot of bright Easter colours and designs.

This one was designed after the cornflower pattern that is on the corning ware dishes I grew up using. Sometimes the best inspiration and designs for cookies come from looking at the actual real life object!

This is what they looked like all put together. I loved designing the arrangements and colours around the mugs that the client provided for the arrangement. I'm sure that this type of arrangement would look great using the traditional clay pots as well!
