July is quickly coming to an end and before you know it, it’s back to school time.  While moms may be rejoicing at the idea, kiddos everywhere are dreading the end of summer.  So here’s a little treat that is sure to make that first day of school just a little sweeter.  These adorable alphabet cookies by Amanda at i am baker would make the perfect after school snack.

I love the crisp, clean look to these cookies.  The bright colors and dashed border are so cheerful and just simply perfect.  Amanda is always full of inspirational ideas for cakes, cookies and sweets.  Be sure to check out these cookies and all of her goodies on the i am baker blog.

Thanks for the incredible inspiration Amanda!

For all of the sweet things Dad has done over the years, why not show him some love this Father’s Day with a delicious sweet treat of his very own.  Inspired by dads everywhere, these goodies are both adorable and delicious.  So much better than a “#1 Dad” coffee mug or boring old tie!

Sweet Treat: March Madness Cookies
March 18th, 2010 by Carrie Sellman | 7 Comments

For those of you who are basketball fans, you know that March Madness begins today.  Yes, the next few weeks will be filled with more NCAA basketball than you can handle.  We’re excited about the tournament, knowing that our team is playing.  Fingers crossed that they make it out of the first round.  I’ve got a little bet going with my husband and the winner gets a 30 min back rub.  Sounds amazing to me, unless of course, I lose.  Nevertheless, I’m quite pumped and thought these adorable basketball cookies were the perfect way to kick off March Madness.

I just love this cookie collection from Eleni’s Cookies.  From the basketballs to the jerseys down to the beer, popcorn and hot dogs, it is a basketball fan’s delight!  What a treat for your guests as you watch the championship game.  These would also be perfect for a basketball themed birthday party for a young child (minus the beer cookies, of course).

Good luck to all of the teams!  And good luck to everyone who has entered our Plates & Napkins Giveaway.  Remember, today is the last day to enter.  We’ll announce our TWO winners tomorrow!

Playfully Unique Christmas Cookies
December 15th, 2009 by Carrie Sellman | 3 Comments

Take a look at these playful and unique Christmas Cookies by Eleni’s.  They are quite possibly the most charming cookies I’ve ever seen.  The modern designs are crisp and clean but these cookies certainly don’t take themselves too seriously.  Cookies should be fun and these babies definitely are!

From the Vintage Striped Ornaments to the Advent Calendar, these are not your everyday cookies.  I especially love Chester’s Holiday Party – doggie cookies dressed up in holiday attire!   They are almost too cute to eat.  Almost.  They’d make a sweet Christmas present for your friends afar, or a darling addition to your holiday buffet.  Check out Eleni’s website for even more impressive designs.

So, which design is your favorite?
