When you wish upon a star...

We have been holding onto our crown cookie cutter in the hopes that someday someone would ask us to help decorate a princess party.  This was our lucky day!


This sweet little fairy princess turned 5 this weekend and celebrated with friends and family at the Children's Museum where they could run wild and explore.


This was a special order for us.  From mixing the flour and eggs to putting on the finishing glittery touches, we had smiles on our faces and songs in the air.  


This party left no one out. 
Spice cake pops for the adults....


Special star princess wands for the girls,


(and the boys were not shy to grab one either)....


Prince and princess crown cookies for their goodie bags...


and orange flavored pink and yellow cupcakes for all....


Happy Birthday Sophia! 
We hope you enjoyed your special day and we are so happy to have been there.

The Looks of Love


February was a busy month. More babies on the way, and of course, February ~ the month we celebrate L.O.V.E. Here are a few pictures of some treats for our XOXO friends!


Congratulations to Jeanette and Ryan.  Their first-born is expected any day now {ah, sweet sigh and happy faces!} and these treats were among many sweet offerings from friends to celebrate Jenner's pending arrival!


February was oh so long ago (!) and I can't remember the occasion for these Key Lime Cupcakes, but it must have been a fun day.   I think it may have been to celebrate knocking down a supporting wall in the middle of Kimi's kitchen/living room area.  Or maybe congratulating my hubster for passing the first inspection.  (Beam?  I don't see a new beam...)  Or maybe the second inspection.  The third?  Hmmm.  It's been a blur of take-out food and trips to the upstairs bath with dirty dishes for weeks, as all efforts are focused on getting Kimi and hubby back into some sense of normalcy.  So close.   So much improvement already.  So, So many bruises and Ibuprofen.  


These pops were a Valentine's gift, destined for a friend's girlfriend.  We're not sure if they actually made it home though.  Robert has quite a sweet tooth when it comes to these pops!


This was another fun order.  Tony gave us carte blanche on designing a box full of goodies for his wife. He knew he wanted pops, decorated valentine cookies, and chocolate chip cookies.  Beyond that, it was up to us to design and decorate.   Love that!


They were so much fun.  My favorite (for this month) turned out to be these bouquets of hearts with shimmer dust.  


So sweet.  I can see these in pretty yellows for Spring, too!  Maybe Mom's Day?


Dear Mr. Postman, 
Please deliver these safely to a much-loved woman in Fremont.  
xoxo




Okay, now we're just playin'.    Playin' with pictures is the bestest part.  


Smile and look pretty. . . 


Happy Daylight Savings Time Everyone.  ug.  
Treat yourselves to a lil extra suga to get those mornin peepers open!

Hoot Hoot Hurray!


A very special girl turned ONE last week! It feels like just yesterday when we made cake pop rattles for Mommy's baby shower.  Now her little girl has turned one and we were soo happy to be a part of the celebration once again. 


When she told us her little one loved owls and could hoot just like them, we couldn't wait to get started on one of our favorite feathered friends.  


The party was decorated in pinks and teals and these owls were the finishing touch to a perfectly planned birthday party.


Mom reports that her Birthday Girl "has been hooting all day long! 
She absolutely loved her owl cookies!" 


We want to thank you, Blaire, for trusting XOXO Cookies to create a sweet treat that brought smiles from your sweetie on her very special day!
