Elle Bijou's New Year's 1st Birthday

My dear friend Mimi's much beloved daughter Elle Bijou was born on New Year's Day 2011.  In fact, she was the very first baby born in Louisville last year - it even made the local news!  

To celebrate Elle B's milestone Mimi asked if I could make some edible favors for the party she was having January 1st.  Of course I would!  These monogram cookies are just the thing Mimi was looking for - simple, classic and elegant - and they match the invitation.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY ELLE BIJOU and HAPPY NEW YEAR !!!!

Initial and Onesie Cookies

These are cookies I recently made for two separate orders, both in honor of some little ones.  The initial cookies are for the christening of a boy named Anthony and the onesie cookies are for shower for baby Madison.

Monogram Wedding Cookie Favors

One of the best things about being a baker are the gifts that I can make for family and friends, especially for the milestone moments in their lives.   What better way to show you care than with something homemade? 

My gift to Anne Marie and Henning for their wedding today are these cookie favors.  I really love how they turned out.  The monogram on the cookie coordinates so beautifully with the invitation, don't you think?  The betrothed couple had a few options for the cookie shape and I'm so happy they chose a hexagon - definitely atypical, but very elegant.

These cookies will look fantastic at each place setting and I hope the happy couple and their guests enjoy them as much as I had fun making them!
