Color Inspiration

While perusing on Etsy the other day...
I stumbled upon these pretties
(who by the way is A-M-A-Z-I-N-G)
and I just love the colors...
1 Dozen Designer Chocolate Covered Oreos -Light Blue and Lime Green Plaid Design Baby Shower Birthday Party
In fact while I was out this weekend
I found more items in this color scheme...
I have ideas swirling for a sugar cookie...
And then while on Pinterest...
Look what jumped out at me...

Hmmm...whales look really sweet in these colors...

That's not what I was thinking cookie wise...
but I may have to reconsider...

Seashell Cookies

My nautical anchors have, by far, been my
most popular cookies...
So I though I'd add to the ocean theme
with some fabulous seashells...
Gorgeous hand embroidery with icing
and lots of luster dust for shine...
Perfect for that destination wedding
that is taking place on an exotic island
or a beautiful beach...
or what about a gift for your hotel guests...
Which ever you choose...your guests are sure to enjoy!

Pink Martini Cookies

Since the Hub was out of town this weekend...
I had some extra time to make some new cookies...
I just love their sparkle & shine...
I couldn't decide between the rim done in sparkle dust...
(Goosie Girl liked this one)
or the rim in sanding sugar...
(This was my fave)
So how about both together...
Wouldn't these be the sweetest addition
to a happy hour...
a bachelorette party...
a cocktail party...
or just a girls night out...
Cheers!

Perfect Pair Twins Party

I spied this magnificent party
on Bump Smitten designed and styled
by the fabulous Jordan of Polka Dot Prints...
(I have been a follower of hers for a long time)...
And as much as I love dessert tables
(and I have styled my fair share)...
I'm starting to wean myself away from them...
I much prefer this set up...
real-baby-shower-pear-twins
where everything is beautifully laid out on one table...
Who needs all those sweets anyway?
I'd much rather have at least an equal amount 
of both savory & sweet...
real-baby-shower-pear-twins
Every detail of this party has been executed to perfection...
real-baby-shower-pear-twins
right down to the menu cards...
real-baby-shower-pear-twins
The vintage drink table has me swooning with the baby's breath
and along side the perfect packaged favors...
real-baby-shower-pear-twins
What a FABULOUS party!

Lego Cookies

I can remember playing with Legos
when I was growing up...
It's hard to believe they are still popular today...
They have definitely stood the test of time...
But what's not to love?
A good friend asked me to make these for a birthday party
she is having for her grandson...
He lives in Pennsylvania but spends time in the summers with her...
So she is flying him down, taking him to Legoland
and then surprising him with a birthday party 
with all his "Florida" friends...
Amazing, huh?!
Each favor has 1 big, 1 medium and 1 small lego cookie
nestled in cello and tied with a bow...
The rest will be plated for the guests to munch on...
Thanks for letting Goosie Girl be a part
of your special weekend!
Enjoy and Have Fun!

President's Day

Happy President's Day!
It's so nice to be off...isn't it?!
Let's take a moment to be thankful
with these festives...
One nation under God...
I wouldn't mind prancing around in this pretty...
or jumping in some puddles with these...
and of course partaking in this yummy dessert...
Whatever it is...Enjoy!

Anchor's Away (Pretty Navy & Pink Cookies)

I sent these pretties out on Monday
to Connecticut...
A lovely bride-to-be contacted me

(in her color scheme...navy & fuschia...)
to use as favors for her upcoming wedding...
Why of course!
Goosie Girl loves weddings!






Thank you for allowing Goosie Girl 
to be part of your special day!

So easy and so good...
And then thanks to Sweetopia's brilliant idea...
using up left over royal icing from this past weekend...
I made these sparkly hearts to use as toppers...
So fun & festive!
I hope your day is filled with love & sweet treats!

Valentine Cookies With A Nautical Twist

These valentines were made
with a bit of a nautical twist...
Why, you ask?
Well...they have two purposes...
Of course to remind the recipient they are loved
since it's Valentine's Day...
and two...to remind them of their upcoming
Disney Cruise...
Fun, huh?!

you may recall that she announced 
that they were going on a Disney Cruise with these...
Thank you for letting Goosie Girl be a part
of your celebration!

Valentine Mini Cookies

A very good client of mine
asked if I could create 
some mini valentine cookies (2 inchers)
for a party she was having for the kiddos...
I incorporated all the colors she was using...
red...pink...aqua...and brown...
Each getting their own unique look...
My favorite is the pink & white stripes...
What's yours?
