I loved this order of cookies I did.
Even though I shipped these cookies all the way to Tennessee, they were very near and dear to my hometown girl heart.
First I made a bunch of these. Can you guess the team?
Why yes, its the Minnesota Vikings!
Then I made a bunch of these. What about that logo... does it look familiar all you Minnesota natives??
You are correct sir! (name that show) Its the Minnesota Twins!
Unfortunately, my super fan of a hubby was out of town so never got to see these cookies. Its probably better though, I dont know if he would have let them all leave the house!
I also made personalized hearts for the bride and groom, coordinating to the chosen themes of course. I think these were a special gift from the bride to her Minnesota native groom. (remember though, I tend to be way off on details!)
I hope they have a wonderful wedding tomorrow! And I really hope the groom likes his surprise!
Very, very cool!

I might have commented twice (this being the second). I am just figuring this blog thing out. I have to say, I love the striking simplicity of your cookies. This is not a skill I have, which makes this type of cookie appeal to me SOOOOO very much! Beautiful work, so excited to discover you and your cookies!

They look fantastic! I'm sure the bride & groom will LOVE them.

These are amazing Amanda. Even though I can't stand organized sports I am a HUGE fan of these cookies :) xo

I have a feeling the hubby really liked his surprise a whole lot. They are way fun! I'm sure the guests thought they were a yummy treat too!

Another job well done!
We loved ours by the way! They were beautiful. While we didn't get to "celebrate" Jeremiah's birthday like I had planned the cookies were still enjoyed by my other children and it helped to distract them for a bit from all the "stuff" going on that day. Thanks so much!
Posted by: Amanda Sikes | Nov 14, 2010 at 10:03 AM
Love them!!!I'm from MN but I live in Tennessee too!! Too bad I don't know the bride and groom! I would have died if I saw these cookies and would have had to eat one of each!!! What a fun idea the bride had and of course you are always my inspiration on cookie design :)
Posted by: Heather | Nov 14, 2010 at 09:11 PM
I am in love with these cookies :)

will you make cookies for my sons bar mitzvah, next September? I don't know what theme yet, but i want your cookies present at our lunch feast!
Posted by: the urban baker | Nov 16, 2010 at 05:32 PM
Being a true Minnesota girl (yay!!) that has been in the Navy for the last 5 years and away from home, these truly almost brought tears to my eyes!!! These are by far the best cookies I have ever seen! You are AMAZING!
Posted by: Beth | Nov 16, 2010 at 07:26 PM
baseball cookies--why didn't i ever think of that? it's something easy that even i can do, and the stitching looks so good. nice work!
Posted by: grace | Nov 17, 2010 at 03:58 AM
Awesome!
Posted by: Judith Norman | Nov 17, 2010 at 06:22 PM
YOU ARE AMAZING! I have used your icing for a while now and have had great results with simple designs. Tonight I had a major FAIL in my kitchen. I tried to make the letter C above as that is our HS symbol. I cut out a template from card stock and tried so carefully to outline the C. It looked awful. Each one was worse than the next. Could you share your tips for decorating around templates? I'd so appreciate it! :)
Posted by: Erin | Nov 17, 2010 at 08:41 PM
I just have to say that those cookies look amazing! I am from Minnesota too, so I love them all the more. Really like the Viking ones. Great job!
Posted by: Corynn | Nov 21, 2010 at 12:09 AM
These cookies are VERY cute, and they look delicious! I love the details and colors - I'm sure they taste amazing! Nice work

Good lord, where did you get those fantastic glass cake stands?!
Posted by: Madeleine | Nov 30, 2010 at 01:39 PM
These look fantastic! We had a Minnesota Vikings themed wedding this fall and had invtiations that wer made to look like football tickets and a set of wedding programs that looked like a program you could buy at the stadium (sportsthemedweddings.com). I really like the sports theme, wish we knew about you guys back then.

As a MN girl, I'd say those cookies are picture-perfect! Love them!
Posted by: Rachael | Feb 08, 2011 at 11:06 PM
