Animal Baby Shower Cookies

This must be the summer of babies, because I have been making Baby Shower Cookies like crazy.  

This was the inspiration.

I went pretty literal.

These are hard to see... I used the light tan to write "Congratulations" around the edge of the 'Christina' cookies.

 

Will be back in a bit to share more cookies for a fun event I attended here in Minnesota!

*For these cookies I used my favorite sugar cookie recipe and special glaze icing.

Very cute! Would you mind sharing your exact recipe for the spill frosting in your cookies? I can't seem to get it just right, either I'm not adding enough milk, or I've added too much and it's too thin. I'm trying to make cookies for my daughter and the spill factor of the icing is giving me a headache!

[Sue]

You are just uber talented! Awesome cookies!

[Lindsay]

OMW those are too adorable!

Avid reader of your blog - you inspire me! Just wanted to mention the name spelling? Did you notice on the invitation there was no "h" in "Cristina"?

Amazing work - I will continue working until Im this good! :)
