Cowboy Baby Shower Cookies

Last week I made some cookies for a cowboy-themed baby shower. 

I love that font!  It's a pain in the butt to pipe, but it looks so cool!

I usually make a sketch anyway when I'm making a variety of cookies, especially if they're going to match an invitation, but I took a picture of the sketch for you so I can participate in LilaLoa's February challenge.

Ladybug Cookies

Sorry I didn't share anything last week.  I try to keep consistent with at least a post a week, but the macarons I worked on last weekend were macawrongs.  It was a new recipe, and even when I tried out different baking techniques on each sheet, all of them were lopsided.  Weird, right?  They were so ugly that I didn't even bother making a filling for them.  My toddler still enjoyed munching on them though.

Anyway, I did have an order last week for ladybug cookies for a baby shower.  I made them to match the invitation.

Owl Cookies for a Baby Shower

This is the other order I had last weekend.  The order was for owl cookie favors for a last minute baby shower for some friends of my husband's family.  I was asked to make the owl cookies based on some that Sweetopia did awhile ago.  I did change things up a little bit by using slighly different colors on the wings and belly, and using a different technique on the belly feathers.  After a long week and decorating all these cookies, I was too exhausted to attend the shower, but I was told that everyone loved them.

And here's a picture of my dining room table with both orders.  Needless to say, we ate dinner in the living room on TV trays that night.

And this picture was taken after I had already cleaned up all the piping bags, bottles, and icing containers that also littered the table.
