The birthday party

Better late than never, right?

Here are a few pictures from Nolan's birthday party a few weeks ago..... His [2nd] birthday cake! This time 6" 4-layer carrot cake for him to blow out a candle with. (Sorry for the dark picture, it was taken at 1am the night before the party as I scrambled to finish everything.)


Check out the anticipation on that little face!!


We're big fans of edible party favors around here so I made "stained glass" cookies using a traditional butter cookie and crushed Lifesavers.


I couldn't find a lower case "n" let alone one that was the right size so I made one by modifying a tutorial I found online -- it was surprisingly easy.


Here's the stained glass in full effect!


To keep things nice and tidy, I wrapped them snuggly in cellophane bags.


They were a big hit and something I plan of offering as a special order item. So if you have a birthday or other party coming up and would like to order some custom monogram cookies, drop me a line!

That's it for now, but stay tuned for the April/Easter special coming next week.
