Mini's - "Fat Pills" & Stroke Risk Decreased with Home-made Cookies!

I wanted to take cookies to work for my friends and thought it was the perfect opportunity to introduce the "Mini" or as I refer to them as "Fat Pills".  They are a one or two bite cookie that are perfect for just a little bit of something sweet. These are chocolate covered with pink fondant and decorated with a royal icing rosebud.  

On another note, I read on Yahoo news this past week that store bought or processed cookies are one of the foods that increase your risk of having a stroke. The solution they mentioned was making your cookies at home, from scratch.  That sounded to me like an endorsement for my made-from-scratch cookies which contain only natural ingredients such as butter (not margarine or shortening) and no preservatives. So, I guess they're saying that my cookies are actually good for you !  ( Do you think?) Let me know if I can contribute to your good health : )

Here's a link to the yahoo article if you'd like to see for yourself!

Happy Birthday Lola!

A special birthday cookie for the Birthday Girl

Lola celebrated her one year old birthday with family and friends this weekend and a special custom bird cookie was baked for her.  The problem I encountered this week was trying to match the bird cookie cutter with the invitation style.  After much searching for the perfect one, I decided that it hadn't been created yet so I decided to reshape my dove cookie cutter into this simplistic style bird cookie.  Hoping Lola had a lovely party today. Happy Birthday!

Abigail's Baptism

A sweet baby girl is going to be baptized this weekend and there will be cookies and cupcakes to celebrate.  Congratulations Susan and Brian on your sweet baby girl and your beautiful 3 boys. I hope you have a great celebration with your family this weekend. God Bless you and yours!

Anniversary Hearts and Cakes

More Hearts

I had the privilege of creating some anniversary cookies for Heather and Tim, married 15 years ago. Hope you and the kids have a great celebration and that you have an even more exciting time in Mexico.  Happy Anniversary!

Gotta Love those Angry Birds!

I had a request for angry bird cookies for a birthday boy in October.  So, I thought I'd practice making these well-known birds.  I did the little blue birds (notice they are in their pack of 3) with the fondant but it was a very humid day here yesterday and the fondant was extra sticky (well duh - it's made out of marshmallows). So for the others, I used a royal icing with the color flow technique to get the bright colors I needed.

The cookies were quickly devoured by hungry Blue Valley Seniors who have been working hard on their Homecoming Float in our yard.  Hoping these cookies make you smile.  If you don't know the Angry Birds, just google it and you'll quickly find out who these little guys are.

The ANGRY BIRDS!  Their eyebrows remind me of Bert from Sesame Street.

Next up, Baptism cookies and cupcakes for a beautiful Abigail, first girl in a family of four children who will have a very special day this coming weekend. And as always, come back to see what's new at the Kellerman Cookie Blog.

ON THIS SEPTEMBER 11TH, I REMEMBER ALL THOSE WHO LOST THEIR LIVES 10 YEARS AGO AND PRAY FOR THE FAMILY MEMBERS AND FRIENDS WHO WERE LEFT BEHIND.  GOD BLESS!

Broken Grandma and Church Auction

Grandma fell and broke her elbow and shoulder last Friday as she was coming up the front steps to her house so she's been in the hospital since, with surgery yesterday and recovering now.  She does love her sweets and hasn't been eating well so I thought a few little flower cookies is just what the doctor ordered.

Trying something new, arranging so you can see all the cookies is tricky.
I'll need to get various size cookie sticks next time.

Flower cookies to help Grandma heal!

Wea Rodeo Auction Cookie Bouquet

Our little country church is having it's annual auction and they asked each family to try to donate an item. I hope this cookie bouquet is well-received there.  I've decided that I really don't like working with brown colored fondant, it just isn't pretty but is appropriate for some cookies. 

Next up,  birthday cookies in a bird theme for little Lola who's turning one! Can't wait!
