Happy Birthday, Jeremy!

My little Bubba turned 5 in March! I can't believe he's 5 now! He's such a little man. This year he was all about the Star Wars. His cookies were quite a challenge. I've never had to free-hand Darth Vader before! He loved them and that's all that matters!

Happy 2nd Birthday, Adeia!

Our friends little girl turned 2 in March! I can't believe how big she is! Addie has to be one of the cutest, smartest and funniest little kids out there! For her 1st birthday I made her cookies. This year I decided to make her a cake. And it was sewious! She loves Wonder Pets, so I couldn't resist to do a cake for her! She loved it for the design, and the adults loved it for the taste, so overall that's all I could ask for!

Playing Catch Up!

I know, I know. It's been months since I've put anything up here. Prepare for a picture blitz of cookies and cakes that I've worked on for the past 6 months. Enjoy!

Everyone LOVES cookies!

Hey guys! My apologizes for not posting anything since last year! I have spent the holidays being a very little busy baker to say the least! Hope everyone is having a fantastic 2009 so far! Now that January is over, it's time to start icing the town red! Valentine's Day is just round the corner and you know the saying, "The way a man's heart is through his stomach". Well being married to my husband for over two years now, I have discovered that it is very true. What a better way to tell that special someone in your life, "I Love You" than by giving them a sweet treat from The Baker E? Ladies, the man in your life won't thank you enough for thinking of him and ordering him up some cookies! Everyone loves cookies! Which reminds me...if you are a guy reading this, do yourself a favor and surprise that lovely girl or yours with some personalized cookies! Sure those heart-shaped chocolate boxes that you buy at the corner drug store are great and all, but if you really want to wow her, show up at her door with a one of a kind cookies from The Baker E!
Now Valentine's Day isn't just for lovers! Consider ordering and personalizing some cookies for your bff, neighbors, classmates, brownie troop, family members...the possiblities are endless! Cookies make the perfect treat to bring in to your child's class! I garuantee your kid will be the most popular kid that day! Just think about it: while everyone else is passing out those little rectangular Valentine's Day cards (which are very cute, but not edible!) your son or daughter could be passing out deliciously decorated homemade cookies! For sure to be a crowd-pleaser! Keep your eye out for a few new Valentine's Day cookie designs later this week: "The Love Bird and "Bee Mine" Bumble Bees!

XOXO,
The Baker E

Time Out!

With a heck of a baseball season for both Chicago teams (although...GO CUBS!), football season in full force, and the kids back and ready in action to play whatever sport they may be playing this year, I thought it would only be appropriate to share with you all some of my favorite sports related cookies and photos! They make great gifts for the team anytime, but especially as the season winds down. Coaches love them too! Also, keep in mind that all the cookies you see on my page can be used for just about any party or event! Sports cookies are always great for birthdays! Keep your eyes out for some fun fall festive cookies on my blog coming soon!

Fall In Love

Hi everyone and welcome back! I think it would be an understatment to say I've been sort of busy and really haven't had a chance to post up some new items for ya'll to look at! Summer came and went and here we are: back to school, cool crisp air and an the beginings of the color explosions in the trees. Now while soaking up some sun was great, I for one am excited that it is fall because it's my favorite time of year. Most of you out there know that spring/summer are peak wedding season. Which for me means I am baking and decorating away; providing brides sweet and unique treats for their wedding. I however, will be celebrating my 2 year anniversary next month and still love the fact that I had a fall wedding. I loved how romantic and almost whimsical the fall season made my special day! No, I did not make the cookies for my own wedding! I'm not that crazy! But, I would love to do some for your own! I know there are plenty of fall brides-to-be wondering about favors, centerpieces, you know... all the details! Cookies are a great way to add personal flair to on occasion that should uniquely be yours!

For A Whale Of A Good Time...
