WOW!! It's been such a very long time since I've really spent time here with you all . The holidays have been crazy busy this year. Busier than I've ever been (but that's a good thing, right?). This set was created for a favorite client of mine who always orders lots of cookies with fun themes and colors. Thankfully, she gave me plenty of notice so that I could allow enough time. I'm beginning to see more of the pros and cons of selling custom decorated cookies. My #1 on the list of pros is the people I meet ❤️❤️❤️. I've made many new friends which is wonderful. I'd have to say that my #1 con is saying "no" when someone has their heart set on something. I've never been very good at it but find that it is a necessary word to have in my cookie vocabulary...sigh.
I am constantly learning new things when creating cookies for an order. Ah wafer paper...it's so pretty and really should have been used here as a smaller cookie with just the wafer paper and border - NO writing! You just can't see it. Plus, it detracts from the design on the wafer paper. All in all a very good lesson learned.
Oh, how right you are, Carol ... !! And this cookie set is beyond cute my lovely friend!! I love every single cookie and especially the cute romper !! Awwww!!! ❤️😘 Really to cute and beautiful Carol!! @Cookies Fantastique

Oh thank you so very much dear Gabi @Icingsugarkeks!! Your kind words always lift my spirits and make my day brighter ❤️. Sending you lots of hugs, especially on the eve of this new year, 2022! ❤️❤️❤️ Hugs...
I've learned so much by all of my mistakes. I think it's the best way to learn and, more importantly, to understand. But, honestly, I did not notice any need for "improvement" with this set. I think it looks beautiful the way it is. And if I were the client, I would be extremely happy with my order. ❤️

Lovely, Carol! Where's the edible paper on this set? Is it the background on the heart? Just asking because it's not obvious to me and the photo is in that clip set. Thanks!
As always, gorgeous cookies Carol! That onesie is sooo precious!!! Happy new year!
Thank you dear @lulubakes! Your kindness and thoughtfulness always mean so much to me ❤️. I really appreciate you taking the time to comment here. Happy New Year to you as well my friend ❤️❤️❤️ Hugs...

Thank you very much Julia @Julia M. Usher!! Yes, the wafer paper is on the heart with the writing (that you can hardly see!). I made a huge mistake in writing on a patterned wafer paper like that. Never again. It seemed like a good idea at the time. LOL. Happy New Year and all the best in 2022 and beyond ❤️❤️❤️ Hugs...

Yes!! So true dear Christine. I have probably learned more from my mistakes over the years than from any other source. But I must say that I've learned a tremendous amount, technique wise, from the experts (e.g. Julia, Arty McGoo, Marlyn of Montreal Confections, SweetAmbs, and the list goes on and on).
My client was absolutely thrilled with the finished set ❤️. The responses I receive from my clients really keeps me going with continuing to fill orders. ❤️❤️❤️ Hugs...
