300 Custom Star Decorated Sugar Cookies for Apogee Catering
We made these sugar cookies awhile ago. They were for a catering company in Massachusetts. They need the star cookies to be decorated for a huge event where they would be given away to all the guests. I did hear back about them and they were the biggest hit at the party apparently. Everyone was asking about the cookies! They wanted to know if they were shortbread?, what flavoring was that?, how could they get some more?, etc….. Needless to say we couldn’t have been more satisfied! Not only did 300 custom cookies take a while to bake, the decorating was a task all in itself, I had five people, and at one point, six, people helping out well into the night 
Can’t wait to do it again!
300 Sugar Cookie Order, No this isn't all of them
The 300 star cookies were not the only order for the weekend. We also had 180 dog bone cookies for Wedding Favors for that Saturday. The Dog Bones were a nice favor from the wedding couple to all of their guests who were making donations to the local York County S.P.C.A. instead of giving the couple gifts. talk about a great cause! The Dog Bones were decorated in Orange and Coral to match the Wedding Colors. Sooo Cute!
Peek at the Sugar Cookies Drying on Racks in our Display Case
We did receive another order the next week from the MA Catering Company for 150 Decorate Brownies. The brownies were for a Golf Outing and would be placed ont he tables. This took a minute for me to figure out just what they would look like. I had no clue for a good 15 minutes, LOL!! It didn’t take me long to figure it out. I would make the brownies into circles and then lay marshmallow Fondant on top to look like the actual golf ball. Next I placed Green Royal icing at the bottom to look like Grass. I think they turned out well, if I only could have gotten a better picture.
Where do you put 150 Decorated Brownies. Thank Goodness for Stackable Cooling Racks, if you don’t own any I suggest you invest

Disney Princess Castle Cake made by Bear Heart Baking Company
This cake was made using a Disney Princess Castle Cake Kit that the mother provided for the cake. We just made the two square tiers look pretty. :) What little girl doesn’t love the Disney Princesses?
Super Mario Brothers Birthday Cake
Another Super Mario Brothers Cake! Very popular right now! This particular one that we made was actually for a little girl. The figurines were placed all over the cake, including Yoshi on the top. Being a huge Yoshi Fan I couldn’t agree more. The best Birthday Cake design ever. I absolutely love making Super Mario Bros. Birthday Cakes. So much, I have considered shipping this cake. Most people add the figurines themselves, so why not!?!? I have people contact me from all over the United States asking if I ship or would I meet them halfway for delivery? So I am going to attempt it with my next order. Now if only someone would order another one.

Boy Baby Shower Cake Made to Match the Plates at the Baby Shower
We made this cake a little while ago and I just now realized we never posted about this baby shower cake. This is a popular thing with the bakery a customer will ask if we can make a cake to match the tableware for the party. Usually a napkin, plate, or sometimes the invitation itself, is given as an example for design, color inspiration or just as general idea of what they are looking for. This particular two tier cake mimicked the polka dots on one tier from the smaller side plate, and the stripes on the bottom tier for the larger plate. Of course those cute little babies feet with tiny toes for the top of the cake letting everyone know this cake is for a baby shower. The little banner with the new additions name was placed on the front side of the top tier. The colors were a mixture of two blues, two browns, and green and yellow. What a fun way to incorporate all the colors for a baby boy shower!!
Hippo themed Cake for Baby Boy Shower Cake
This adorable Hippo Baby Shower Cake is another example of a customer requesting we make a coordinating cake to match the Party Invitation for the Baby Shower. The Hippo was hand molded out of our made from scratch Marshmallow fondant. The top tier was made to match the polka theme on the invitations and the stripes were added, well because we needed something to make this an adorable two tier cake!!
Hippo Invite for Baby Shower
These invitations were hand made and a picture of them was sent to my e-mail. I heard that everyone loved the cake!! The little hippo was even preserved to save for the baby’s first birthday or sometime special for him and his mother to enjoy together!
