CHRISTMAS IS A COMING...


and you will want these at your table this festive season!   These cookies are my usual 3.5 inch square cookie with a layer of D-Lish fondant and decorated using D-Lish royal icing!   Classic in design and D-Lish in taste, you can not go wrong!

I had a phone call from a customer who had already ordered a few dozen for this upcoming season.   Then as she was pondering what to take in to the teachers at school for the staff room, she wondered if I could do a smaller version.. .a nibble.. just a tease!   So I came up with... DRUM ROLL PLEASE.....

THE DOUBLE DECKER MINI!   :-)   This is a 2 inch square tease of a D-Lish Cookie... but to make up for the lack in size, I doubled the thickness!   These are also available this holiday season by the dozen.    Shown here with the larger cookie to compare in size!

Feedback...

is always fun to get... especially if it's good!  Scary to ask for it hoping it's not bad!  This email today made me LAUGH out loud!  ENJOY!

From a friend with high expectations... I mailed her some cookies for her birthday etc!  
Kelsie says...

Unbelievable!!! Seriously I was expecting them to be good 'cause I mean...sugar cookies!! and fondant!! ...I was expecting them to be slightly dry...like often sugar cookies are plus they were sent in the mail...but (you may not consider this a total compliment...) I actually swore when I took my first bite...luckily I was by myself!!! They are so soft and extremely yummy!

Thanks, Kelsie!  

And... stayed tuned for something NEW coming tomorrow and some samples of Christmas cookies!

Wedding Bells....

GO TEAM GO!

6 dozen football cookies to celebrate 2 teams and the end of the season for them!   These are 2 VERY lucky St. Albert football teams... the Jaguars and the Colts get to devour these cookies at their year-end bash this week-end!   After a few failed attempts, I decided that I just wasn't cut out to freehand a Jaguars head!!!  So this is what we came up with instead!   Enjoy the cookies boys, and congrats on your season.  I know that you played hard enough to deserve one of these D-Lish Cookies!

Last week!

Last week I had an order for a Birthday Boy!  He is in love with dogs and wanted dog cookies to take to his class at school.   I heard that they went over well so that was great!   I did 2 types of dogs however, in my haste to get them bagged and delivered, I missed taking pictures of 1 type!  

A few months ago I had a request for a Gift Certificate for a wedding.   So the lucky couple who received this certificate ordered their cookies to match what had been their wedding colours and theme... blue and orange were their colours with a butterfly theme!  It was very unique!   You can see a sample of their gorgeous wedding photos at http://www.beautiphotography.com/

And... I wanted to send along a sample pack to a good friend of mine who had a birthday last month, as well as graduated from nursing school!   I was so proud of her!!!  It was a good excuse to use up my leftover fondant!!!  So there was no theme for her!!  Poor girl... At least they'll taste good :-)

I will be accepting Christmas Orders until Dec. 1/10.  These cookies would be a great gift for your child's teacher!   CHRISTMAS SAMPLE PACKS will be 6 cookies for $15.
CHRISTMAS COOKIES are 1 dozen for $24.

Football Season...

is coming to an end, and you may want some for your Grey Cup party!  :-)   Actually, these Steeler cookies are for a diehard fan for his birthday.   And the floral cookies for his mom and her birthday!   Lots of birthdays!  




Shhh... don't tell anyone my secret.  But... I got the new Cricut Cake Machine.  I am loving it!  I was a little nervous about whether or not it would cut my homemade marshmallow fondant, which is so much better then that store bought stuff!!!  However, it's wonderful!!!!   The possibilities are certainly endless now, folks! 

Cookies for Cancer

This Sunday in Sherwood Park there is a fundraiser for Cancer called, Big Dreams Small Hands.   If you are able to go... please do and support a great cause!   Tickets are $15 and available through Ticketmaster.
Through networking on facebook with other Entreprenerial Moms in the Edmonton area, I found this lady, Kelly, from Dream Photography.   It's her babysitter, Shayna, who has been diagnosed and so her young daughter wanted to do something special to raise money.   In her call out to other businesses for donations etc, I have donated a dozen cookies to be sold at the bake sale.   GO BUY A COOKIE!
