lily cookie bouquet

our friends mike and pam are expecting a baby girl, lilianna grace, in august. in honor of blooming baby lily, i made this cookie bouquet for pam's shower.

i also created a slideshow of the process. hope you enjoy it! =)

did i mention the cookies are ANIMAL-FRIENDLY?!?!?
(yup! no eggs, dairy or cholesterol in these babies!)
i'm taking orders if anyone in the area is interested.

to make the bouquets i followed the very helpful tutorials at Karen's Cookies.
this image was the inspiration for the lily cookies,
and i bought the cookie cutter from TinCrafts.
click for vegan sugar cookie recipe.

the finished cookie bouquets

these were a project and a half but worth it in the end. i hope the mommies who received them liked them! =)

the start to my cookie bouquets...

i'll be doing the cookie baking tonight. tweaked my vegan sugar cookie recipe after noticing my cookies were spreading and rising way too much (some flowers were beginning to resemble animal paws), so we'll see how they turn out!
