What will baby “bee”? These beautiful gender-neutral cookies feature chubby little honeybees, busy beehives, adorable overalls and ruffled onesies, and are accented with cheerful sunflowers and daisies.
After my “client” said she wouldn’t be picking up her order, I made other plans during her pickup window, so I wasn’t home, and neither was my husband.
He called me frantically, “Hey babe, there is a lady at the front door and I think she’s here for cookies, but she doesn’t have a broken leg.” Just then, another call came in so I answered, panicked.
“Hi, Mandy? It’s Jeannette… I’m here to pick up my cookies!” My stomach lurched as I tried to explain, “Jeanette…. You’re not going to believe this.”
So I proceed to tell her that I must have texted a wrong number and told her what the person said. She had every right to be skeptical so I sent her the screencaps. I also asked when her event was (and thankfully it wasn’t until tomorrow) so I asked if I could please deliver the cookies to her to try and make things right. She graciously agreed.
I did confirm that the error was 100% mine and when I wrote up her contract, I accidentally changed the last digit of her phone number.
This poor client… she drove nearly 100 miles round trip to get her cookies. I can not even begin to express how grateful and humbled I am that she was willing to drive that far for me. Of COURSE I had to get them to her to compensate for the horrible inconvenience and terrible experience, because I value my clients and appreciate them so much!
So I drove to her house to make the delivery. When I met Jeannette she was SO sweet and kind, and we had a laugh about the whole situation. I thanked her profusely for being so nice about the whole thing. I told her I was really glad she didn’t have a “broken leg”. 😅
The moral of the story? Triple check your clients’ contact information, and if you need glasses, make sure you wear them when writing up your contracts. 😏
Soft and delicate tones of pink and green give a wink to Tinkerbell in this custom baby shower theme, complete with delicate roses, whimsical mushrooms and a golden pinch of pixie dust.
This ONE cookie decorating tool can save you countless hours!
What am I talking about? None other than the fabulous @eddie_edibleinkprinter ! Yes, it is an investment up front, but when I think about the value of the purchase in regard to how much time it has saved me, it’s been worth every penny. In fact, I had a large business logo order, and that one order alone paid for the machine.
I use it for design elements that I used to airbrush with a stencil. I also print beautiful full color photo cookies, school logos, business card cookies, and gorgeous vibrant patterns like this Lisa Frank rainbow leopard print!
Is it “cheating” because I’m not decorating by hand? Heck no! There is still a lot of design work and artistry involved, especially because I use it to embellish cookies that also have hand decorated elements! And don’t forget, I still make my cookies entirely from scratch and ice them with a perfectly smooth consistency of delicious flood icing as well!
I have a confession… Custom baby shower cookies are my favorite and always will be! There are so many fun themes, from classic teddy bears to dim sum “little dumplings”… it’s so fun to see all the original and creative ways people announce the arrival of their little one! If you make cookies, what’s been YOUR favorite theme so far?
Timeless teddies are the theme for these overjoyed parents who can “bearly” wait to meet their son. With classic carriages, snuggly bears and adorable outfits, these cookies are sure to make their shower guests feel warm and fuzzy!
Celebrating 50 years in style! This custom cookie order combines rustic wood grain, suede texture, vintage whiskey labels, oak barrels, and his go-to drink on the rocks. Cheers!
It`s a "Three-esta!" These vibrant and cheerful cookies will surely be the highlight of this party! Featuring taco trucks, piñatas, maracas, sombreros, papel picado and a touch of sarape, this custom set is a true celebration in bright colors!
