Soccer Mom

A few weeks ago, as I drove my old son to his first soccer game 45 minutes away from our house in my mini-van I laughed as I thought I'm a "Soccer Mom".

Sporting the mini-van...loaded with my own kids to in fact a soccer game.

Fast forward to this week when I was responsible for bringing snacks to the Monday soccer game. Given my love for decorating cookies, I knew I needed to do cookies, but not feeling confident in my soccer ball skills, I decided I would make personalized jersey cookies for the kids.

The weather was against me, and the game actually didn't happen, not because of the weather because that had cleared up prior to the game, but the other team didn't show up.

I shared my snack anyway, because honestly who needs an entire watermelon and 30 jersey cookies.

I still have the cookies for the teammates who weren’t at our “game” on Monday, and plan on passing them out at our next practice.

Their cake was a strawberry cake.

Their “Thank You” gift for party attendees was Rolled out Chocolate Chip Thank You Cookies and a balloon.

Happy Birthday Olivia and Braden.

Graduation Cakes

Today at First Baptist Church in Sturgeon Bay, several individuals were recognized for their recent graduation.

Since several different schools were represented, I made a "generic" cake that did not have any particular school colors on it.

One cake was chocolate and the other was vanilla.

Congratulations Class of 2012!

It's a...peaking baby!

Heather and Tad are expecting baby # 4 and asked me if I could help them with some cookies to reveal the gender of their baby.

Heather dropped a sealed envelope off on Friday night, and picked up a sealed package of cookies.

I got the idea from the cookies from Amanda at http://iambaker.net/ when she made similar cookies with her 4th child.

Congrats and many Thanks to Heather and Tad.

Holiday Motel's 60th Birthday

This weekend is the Steel Bridge Songfest,

and last year I made these cookies for the songwriters.

http://doorcountycustomcakesandcookies.blogspot.com/2011/06/steel-bridge-songfest-tweneleven.html

I was asked again this year, but my busy schedule did not allow for me to make cookies.

With all of the musicians in town for the Song Fest, Sweet William came up with a grand plan to help the Holiday Motel and someone else celebrate their 60th Birthday.

The cake is a chocolate cherry cake that is topped with butter cream frosting.

Happy 60th Birthday!

Many thanks Sweet William.
