It’s that time of year! 🤯 Somehow Back-to-School season is here already and I have some fun little cookie options to celebrate! These crayon cookies are some of my faves! Link in bio to shop—delivery or pickup in SF ❤️🖍📚✏️

Realized it’s #sharkweek and this recent set of cookies had the cutest little shark components! So…let’s add some awkwardly creepy music to the cuteness?! 🤣

When your kid demands a dinosaur birthday cake but you don’t work much with fondant. What a ride 🤣

Mini cookie requests are often a hard no from cook

Mini cookie requests are often a hard no from cookie decorators for a lot of reasons, but my top two would be:

1. They’re usually just about as much labor time as regular cookies of the same complexity 2. Clients expect them to be cheaper (clearly!).

So, same labor, less income. Ouch! BUT THEY CAN BE SO CUTE. 🥹

Reminder: do things that scare you. My daughter wanted a “mermaid cake with red hair and purple shells [shocker] and..and donuts” for her birthday. I had no idea what I was doing. Pulled up a tutorial from the one and only Liz Marek @sugargeekshow , grabbed some modeling chocolate and went to town at night after my kids were asleep and work was done…for several nights. The result was this deer-in-headlights mermaid with quite the silhouette 😳🧜‍♀️🤣. I was embarrassed to post this, so I didn’t. Five months later, I don’t care anymore! It’s a nice reminder that we all learn as we go, right? And my kid was ecstatic, so that’s all that really matters. ❤️
