Our holiday decorated cookies have arrived!   While I love all the new designs, my favorite of the bunch is our new tweet hoiday series designed by Joan at Bitsy Creations. We take hints for our designs from what we see in home decor as well as fashion and birds are definitely at the top of the list this year.  We figured it would make sense to translate this popular symbol into unique decorated cookies.  

We’ve included two options including a holiday design and a Hanukkah design, however, all of the text can be customized on these gourmet decorated cookies. Anyone who knows me, will tell you how much I am not a fan of clutter, which is why gourmet decorated cookies are the perfect gift in my book!

I recently worked with Carmen to create custom cookies for her upcoming wedding. She had a very specific design in mind for their cookie wedding favors : a modern yet whimsical design of Carmen and her then fiance Michael riding a train (Michael is a big fan of trains!) using the colors sage and brown.  To create these unique wedding favors, I tapped into one of my uber creative designers to bring the design to life and I think she did a great job.

I took a brief two week break from posting and from decorated cookies, but I have a very good excuse as the hubby and I were on a much anticipated trip to India!   Thankfully, my baker helped fulfill orders for my hand decorated cookies while I was away.  

India is a fascinating country and I’m still digesting everything we saw during our visit.  Cookies are not a popular dessert in India, but we managed to find some at the Oberoi Hotel in Agra while enjoying the ever-popular masala chai.   If you look in the background of the photo below, you can see the Taj Majal in the distance.

Decorated Cookies:  One of my favorite wedding blogs, Brooklyn Bride, just did a fantastic post about our studio where we make our decorated cookies.    The blog occasionally features “studio tours” which includes a sneak peek at the creative spaces of various wedding vendors.   On the day we snapped the shots of our studio we were busy making gourmet decorated cookies as thank you gifts with some of our new designs from Bella Cosa Design (the creator of our blog).   Thanks Brooklyn Bride!

I occasionally get the opportunity to make decorated cookies for my family and friends, which is always a pleasure because I can see their reaction myself when they open the box.  My grandpa’s 90^th birthday was no exception.   To add some details to the surprise occasion, I created custom decorated cookies using a young photo of him from his army days.  It was the perfect photo to create personalized, unique decorated cookies as favors as well as cupcake jewerly, which took the place of a typical birthday cake.
