Birthday Cookies




Caroline's birthday is on December 15th which falls on a weekday this year.  I try and make her birthday extra special as I don't want her to feel lost with Christmas coming right around the corner. 

This is her first year in school and I decided to make her some cookies to take to class so they can celebrate her birthday with her.  I picked up this crown cookie cutter when I was still pregnant with her. I knew it would come in handy someday!

I wanted to make the jewels really sparkle, so I sprinkled some Disco Dust on them right after I piped them in.  Can I just say... Disco Dust is my new favorite thing!  It's alot more sparkly in person than in these pictures.  I don't think it photographs well.  Or, it could be my camera that I really don't know how to use!  *HA HA*





Caroline has nearly 30 kids in her class, so I made some cupcake cookies too.  I think they turned out super cute!






Into the treat bags and tied with purple ribbons...




 I sure hope you can still bring homemade treats into school.   We're going to find out!

    Oh wow, these are absolutely adorable. What kind of food coloring do you use to get such intense colors?

    Thank you!! I use the gel based colorings from Wilton... a little bit goes a LONG way so it makes it nice!
