Easter Joy

I would like to pretend that I was clever and purposely selected and arranged these cookies to spell the word Joy, but really I didn't. This was a complete coincidence. I just selected a couple of cookies that I liked the looks of and happened to notice they made a word while I was flipping through the images on my camera. I am quite proud of my subconscious cookie spelling abilities, and fully intend to spell things with cookies again in the future. Yet another use for sugar cookies, to send subliminal messages to those you love!

On another note, below are a small sample of the Easter cookies I created this week in order for the holiday. I hope the make everyone's day just a little bit brighter!

This is a photo of an Easter themed bouquet that my sister took to work in order to bring a little bit of Easter joy to each of her coworkers. I love all of the bright, Springy colours I get to use this time of year.

These were some individual Easter cookie favours I created for another work group. These are some of my favourite shapes to decorate, I get to be creative and try out all kinds of designs. The only problem with butterflies is that if you do something really cool on one wing, you have to be able to repeat it on the other side!

This Easter bouquet found a lovely Easter tree to pose with on the front porch of its recipient.

Even the Easter bunny got in on the action!

This has to be my favourite cookie of this Easter season, if not my favourite cookie that I have ever made. I have been affectionately calling it "zebrabbit". Look for more zebra print in the future, I had way too much fun making this cookie to stop here!

These are just a a sample of the over 70 Easter cookies that were put together this week. Let me know what you think!

 A couple of Spring Chickens!

And last but not least, the ever popular carrot cookie. Contrary to popular belief, it is not healthier than any of the other designs, but if you would like to think that it is, go ahead!

Individual Easter Cookies!

Individual Easter Cookies will be available just in time for Easter this year! Individual cookies will be $2.00 each, or 3 for $5.00. Singular cookies will be individually wrapped and tied with  a bow, sets of three will be wrapped together and tied with a bow.

This offer applies to all Easter/Spring themed shapes/designs, including but not limited to eggs, bunnies, flowers, baskets and the ever popular carrot! A list of all available shapes can be found under the Easter/Spring heading on the shapes and designs page. Names and other customizations are available at no additional cost. Cookies will be prepared for April 21 (the Thursday before Easter). Easter orders can be made by emailing decorateddelectables@gmail.com, or they can be called in. Please include any shape/design preferences as well as any customizations you desire, as well as if you will be able to pick up the cookies or if they will need to be delivered. Please inquire if you need individual cookies for a different date, I will try to accommodate any requests but cannot guarantee that cookies will be available before April 21. Easter cookies by the dozen and bouquets are also still available.

Dozens of Daisies

Okay, so only one dozen this week. 

These were a special order for my godmother/aunt who ordered a dozen plain circular icing with plain white icing. I knew she was just trying to make it easy for me, and couldn't bear to make something so simple considering.

These are probably my favourite design to make. You can probably tell that I'm addicted to this swirly pattern.

 I also got to try out my new pink pearl dust (its on the flowers with the pink backgrounds, but it doesn't photograph very well). You can see it better on the babies' cheeks in my welcome to the world post. Edible sparkles, what could be better?

For The Man Who Has Everything

I don't know about everyone else, but my father has everything. In fact, he has 3 or 4 of everything. If you can figure out something he doesn't have, he guesses, or, in the case of my sister, tricks you into telling him what it is. Every time. I have found the solution! It's cookies of course. Tool cookies! A combination of two of my father's favourite things. What father does not like tools and cookies? I picked up these tool cookie cutters for fathers everywhere! Now I can't wait to use them. Hurry up Father's Day!

Spring Bridal Shower Cookies

I made these for a bride who is crazy lucky enough to be marrying into the family! I used spring colours for a spring bride and tried out some new designs that I haven't had a chance to use yet. These work great as decor and can be enjoyed by the bride and groom later, eaten as the party goes on or taken home later as favors. Congrats Katie + Cory!

Welcome to the World Little Guy!

Thanks to everyone who has supported decorated delectables so far (since you are reading this,  this includes you!) This bouquet was decorated delectables first real order! They were made for a baby shower to celebrate the upcomming arrival of a baby boy. After the shower they will be used as favors  -what a great idea! I hope you and the new mother like them as much as I do!

Cheeky Cookies

These are some cookies that I made just for fun. No, I do not own bum shaped cookie cutters, they are hearts with the tip cut off. They work great for a bachelorette part or that cheeky aunt who enjoys that type of thing!
