Cowboy Cookies

Whenever I think of a western/cowboy party...

the first thing that comes to mind is...

The Lone Ranger...

You remember him...don't you?
He, Silver and his bestie, Tonto...
So when I was asked to design cowboy cookies for a party...
My mind went to "Hi Ho Silver"...insert theme song...

I used the image off the paper products...
and love how they turned out...

I think the Lone Ranger & Tonto would be proud...

Cupcake Packaging

I love when I stumble upon a brilliant idea...

Like this cupcake packaging from Bird on a Cake...

Simple to assemble...

Easy to send home...

No more smushed frosting...

Pretty and delicious...
