New Baby Cookies

When one of my favorite customers Jana wanted five dozen cookies for an upcoming baby shower, I was so excited! Her theme gender neutral, stars and moons, and quilts.

I love the idea of that sweet little shower, and I am sure with Jana's decorating skills it was a beautiful sight.

(let me apologize in advance for the quality if pictures... not only was it a gloomy day, but I had my camera on all the wrong settings. Total bummer!)

 

 
 

 

Here is a snippet of the invite... and where I copied that adorable font from...

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I used four colors total for these cookies, and just kept rotating them throughout different elements. 

The cookies were made with my favorite sugar cookie recipe and glaze icing recipe. 

Thanks for letting me help out Jana...  Hope it was a wonderful day!

Folks have been emailing and asking for certain recipes and tutorials... and while I try to get to every email as quickly as possible, sometimes there is a bit of a wait.  So, in an effort to answer your questions as efficiently as possible...

I am going to be getting a 'search' button for the blog soon!

But until then, I have heard that entering, "i am baker recipes" or "i am baker chocolate cake" (or whatever you are looking for) into google's search engine brings you right to wherever you want to go.  Basically just start it out with 'i am baker' and you should be all set.

Sorry its the long way to go about things, hopefully I will figure out how to get that search option installed ASAP!

As usual, they are so pretty! I also love your post with the kids in the tub of water. Reminded me of running through the sprinkler when I was little. :)

[Becki D]

I absolutely love the little rattles with their bows. You are awesome!

Amanda, these are the cutest little baby shower cookies I've seen in a long time. You've out-done yourself yet again!

[Kathia]

[Kristin Morris]

These are adorable! I just love the rattles and ducks! ::Kristin::

[Allison]

ADORABLE cookies (as always). I particularly love the rattles. You do SUCH a good job piping!!! So, I know this is kind of a silly question, but where do you find your square and circle cookie cutters? I've looked several places and can't find any, and it seems like I should be able to find some!!

[cherylene]

Adorable cookings. Amanda, you are amazing!

[susan]

SO precious, Amanda. You're totally making these as a gift for me when my baby arrives in October, right??? Just kidding!!! But they are fabulous my dear! I love them!

[Laura]

These are so detailed and amazing! You are so creative!

[Lindsey]

I love the quilting effect! These are so cute! Technical question. How long do you wait between icing the background and adding the letters/rattle/bottle? Do you leave the cookies out at room temperature or put them in the fridge? I make your sugar cookies all the time (best recipe ever!) but I'm always afraid of stacking them and smashing the frosting. Can't wait for your next creation!

These look terrific! One note about searching within the site; if you go to Google and type in what you want to search for within the site, toss a space after it, and then add site:http://iammommy.typepad.com/i_am_baker to the end, and hit search. Voila! All set.

These cookies are SO adorable!!! Your work is fantastic. I bet your friend Jana loved them. I know I would love to receive something like that.

I am making some cookies for the boys pirate themed birthday soon so your icing glaze recipe will no doubt come in handy.
