Sweet baby treats

The other week,
I made these tiny animal sugar cookies for a baby shower.

Tiny was perfect for two reasons:

1) animal crackers are tiny

2) they accompanied an entire table of other mouth watering goodies!

Tiny was not perfect for one main reason:

1) it took FOREVER!!

But they sure were cute.

The little ones loved them, too.

I figure once my mind has forgotten how long these little animals took, I just might make another batch for the kids.  I'll let them do the decorating, and leave the piping and filling out of it.

I followed direction and decorated the cookies according to the shower color scheme.

My friend, Gaby, knows how to throw an awesome shower!

It was darling!

She sent the most precious invites,

and used the same colors to decorate for the shower.

I love all the little touches of green and yellow.

It turned out SO cute!

My friend knows how to bake, too.  Seriously.  See for yourself:

She made all these finger-lickin-good treats by herself!

They were delicious.

Unfortunately, I had to decline when she tried to send some extras home with me.

I splurged when I had dessert for dinner that night.

Talk about a good night!

And a cute mama!

Congrats Kristian!

He'll be here any time!
