A (Cookie) Dress to Impress

Food, fashion and fun combine when you craft these cute little sugar wafer cookie dresses. 

Surprise mom for Mother's Day or make a plate of party dresses for a sweet little girl's birthday party. Bachelorette or bridal shower? You bet. I can think of all kinds of events where these edible evening gowns would steal the show. In fact, Voortman's makes a cookies & cream sugar wafer cookie that would make one helluva "Little Black Dress."

You can find the simple, cookie dress tutorial at Handmade Charlotte.

Oh... and if you need a purse to go with them, try these cookie handbags.

And of course, you can't forget the shoes! Nutter Butter high-heals will do the trick.

Cookie Purses for Fashion-plate Palates

A few years ago I made some Nutter Butter high-heel cookies for my shoe-lovin' friend's birthday. I always thought it would be so cute to make some matching, edible purses.

Ten years later (no way.. has it really been that long, Adriene!), I created these cookie purses: a bite-size bowler bag 

a classic cookie clutch 

and a tasty-yet-trendy tote.

They'd be a really fun dessert to make for Mother's Day, bachelorette parties, bridal showers and birthday parties.

I was surprised at how perfect the different store-bought cookie shapes and textures were for making purses.

Feed Your Passion for Fashion

Combining two things that most women love: shoes & dessert.

I originally made these 9 years ago for my dear friend's birthday. They're cute and fun, and easy to make, so be sure to check out the tutorial at SheKnows. 

You could add all kinds of finishing touches to them to make them extra special. Maybe dip them in white chocolate melt and use a vanilla Tootsie Roll to make them more "bridal?" Or attach some candy jewels or sparkles on the front for some extra bling? 

They'd be perfect for bachelorette parties or a girls-night-out. And don't forget Mother's Day ... it's just around the corner!

Mom + Mimosa = Momosa

A toast, to marvelous moms everywhere! 

I created this "Momosa" tutorial for SheKnows.com, and it featured on their website this week. Check it out .... lots of helpful step-by-step photos. 

Surprise mom (and the whole family) by making these this mimosa-flavored cupcake desserts, playfully displayed in Champagne glasses and garnished with an orange-peel "M-O-M."

 

A momma and her baby girl. Awwwww.....

Should I be worried that my daughter wanted to "pose" with my desserts?

Bea loved every bite of her Momosa.
