Happy Birthday!

Happy Birthday to my wonderful Mother-in-Law! (tomorrow)  She doesn't look a day over 40!  In celebration of her birthday, the boys and I took a cookie bouquet and cookies to her school to share with all of the other teachers.  We also got to spend a little time in the Kindergarten classroom.  So much fun!

Today is also the birthday of my new business 'CARA BELLA COOKIES'!  I am so excited to finally share one of my favorite hobbies with other people.  I hope that you enjoy the pictures of the cookies that we took to school!  And contact me anytime if you want some cookies!

GO BIG RED!

Husker football season is finally here!  I searched far and wide for an "N" cookie cutter that resembled the Nebraska Huskers logo and I finally found one!  It was so much fun listening to my husband's "Game Day" CD while I baked up these Cornhusker Cookies that I realized that for the first time ever I am genuinely excited for football season too!  Yeah! We took them to our first tailgate of the year and they disappeared very quickly.  My son says that the ears of corn are his very favorite!  (Too bad he won't eat a real ear of corn :) Oh well.)  

Go Huskers!!!

Blooms in Blue

I saw this color combination of blue flowers that I thought would  be perfect for my sister Robyn on a cookie blog several months ago and tucked it away in my favorites for safekeeping until the perfect time.  I finally got to making them just the other day and delivered every last one to her! ( Otherwise my sons and I would have ate them all :) )  I really like the way that they turned out and I hope that I have the occasion to make them again soon. Here are a few pictures of the finished product. Enjoy!
