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!
