Music Recital Cookies

Jillian asked if I could help her out by making some cookies for Henry's recital.

Treats for the Big Cheese

My middle son is the "Big Cheese" this week in his 4K class, and the theme is "Under the Sea" I wanted to do something special for him this week, so besides taking snacks in all week, I also made an extra special treat for him to share with his class. He has a summer birthday, so bringing treats in for his birthday isn't a choice, and his half-birthday falls days before Christmas and that time of year can be crazy so I opted to do it "Big" for my "Big Cheese".

I made some Angel Fish cookies that I had the kids "paint" with food coloring, and then for snack I made Pirate Telescopes.
(Wish I could give credit to the individual who came up with these, they are not my original idea...but I can't find who originally made these, even among all of my blogs that I follow, I can't come up with it)


Using an ice cream cone that I filled with Puppy Chow, and then sealed it in with a cookie and put a Rolo® on the bottom. I painted with frosting blue water, light brown sand and a palm tree.


I was so busy with my "Big Cheese" that I forgot to pull my camera out while the kids enjoyed the treats.
~ Enjoy! ~

Titanic Cookies for Harrison

Harrison's Birthday is on the Anniversary of the Titanic sinking and his Mom Moira searched high and low for a cookie cutter she of a steam boat, to have Titanic cookies sent to him for his Birthday.

Well thanks to the internet Moira found me, and the Titanic cookies I made...you see Moira lives in California and Harrison is in New York, and I'm in the middle in Wisconsin.

She contacted me last minute, and I made and shipped these cookies to Harrison, and he should be receiving them at work before lunch.

The cookie on top of the shipping box was a Thank You to the Girls @ Pack-N-Ship who helped me price out the cost of shipping the cookies on such short notice.

Happy Birthday Harrison!

Thanks Moira...it was a pleasure working with you.
