Growing!

The Shy Cookie has its first advertisement, and it's with a local blog called "Real Housewives of Northern Virginia"!  Just on the first day we got 5 new Facebook "likes" and a wedding cake inquiry!  VERY exciting :)

I also decided to get with the times and started a twitter account.  You can follow it by clicking below...

FEATURED on "CheapCookieCutters.com"!

I buy all of my crazy and unique cookie cutters on www.cheapcookiecutters.com; I love them!  I shared my hair dryer and brush cookies with them, and they decided to post my picture on their website where you buy the cutter so other buyers can see what a finished product will look like!  Very cool!

Hair Salon cookies

My very awesome friend, Brandie, is in cosmetology school in Ohio so when I saw these cookie cutters I immediately thought of her and had to make them!  I also shipped them to her so we can see how well these guys survive USPS so I can do online orders and Etsy!

New Year Day Wedding

I made my first wedding cake for a complete stranger on January 1st!  I met with her for a tasting a few months ago and she picked white cake and red velvet with strawberry filling in every tier.  She liked the cake I made for Megan and Chris but wanted red ribbon and hearts.  She was there when we delivered it and loved the way it turned out.  I hope when she gets back from her honeymoon, we can get some pics of the cake in action!

Mama Mila Turns 80!

Ben's grandma (Mama Mila) turned 80 this past year so when everyone was in town for Christmas, we threw her a party.  My contribution was, of course, cookies!  I decided to simply go with "80" shaped cookies and then bagged them with ribbon and put them on a cookie tree.  The tree ended up being a great decoration for the party and the cookies were yummy favors for the guests!
