Sugar Cookies for Jill!

Well these special wedding cake sugar cookies were shipped all the way to Memphis, TN for my dear friend Jill.  She was having an engagement party that sadly I could not be there for, due to the millions of miles in between us.  So I couldn't exactly send a cake or cupcakes in the mail, so the next best thing were sugar cookies.

I wasn't too sure on how the cookies would look once they finally arrived, but I bubble wrapped them like crazy so there was no way they were breaking or sliding around.  And good news, they all arrive safely, a few little bumps and bruises to some of them but overall the delivery was a success.

Can't wait till for wedding in September!  Hope you enjoyed the cookies JB!

 Well this cake was for my Dad's birthday!  I wanted to experiment with a new recipe.  The best time is always with family.  So this cake is called a hummingbird cake.  It slightly resembles a carrot cake but it contains bananas, pineapple, and pecans.  It is very moist and paired with cream cheese icing.  And the verdict from the family was great!  It does have a strong banana taste (not so much pineapple) but overall I would say this recipe was a success.  Another one to add to the list!  If you want the recipe it is from The Hummingbird Bakery Cookbook.  And here are two more pictures of my latest work, I guess sports was the theme!!!!
