Don't know what to get Mom for Mother's Day or Dad for Father's Day? What about saying 'Thank You' to a friend? How about a cookie bouquet? The first bouquet I ever made was for
Heather when she had her first little girl, Lexi. I'm not sure if I even remembered to take a picture.
Well, my OCD gets out of control once in awhile and I actually made a list of all the possible bouquets I can make with all my cookie cutters. Here's a picture of my favorite bouquet so far!
This list is really for me....for my sanity.

I decorated this cake to resemble the invitation. There are polka-dots on the invitation, you just can't see them. I forgot how hard it is to frost the cross cake with all the odd angles. The next time I make this cake, I will use fondant or all stars.
I didn't have much time to plan this one. I wanted to make a cake to take to Arlington for my father-in-law's heart surgery in Sept. 2006.
I decided to bake a few cakes for the school where I teach. I made a pig because "Louie the Pig" did the morning announcements. I also did a tiger which is our mascot. Little did I know that I would go into labor the next day!
1996- I was student teaching and chose to do my two week unit on Texas. I made this cake for the Texas celebration I planned.
A co-worker asked me to make this in 1996. She was going to add a golf ball on top of a tee.
