This morning I delivered some cookies to Tobias’ school for a Cinco de Mayo themed Teacher Appreciation Luncheon and they were just too cute not to share!
I got the recipe from The Alison Show last valentine’s day, and I recommend buying her veryyyy thorough video/e-book to anyone who wants to get started staying up late at night making perfectly perfect sugar cookies with royal icing.
When I was taking them to the school, the woman who opened the door for me looked at them wide-eyed and said,
“You made these?! You should go into business!”
and when I delivered them to the two PTA moms that were orchestrating the event, I received the same looks of surprise and,
“You made these?! Oh, you’re our new favorite. You could sell these.”

When I made first or second batch (I’ll wrangle up the photos of all that I’ve made to date for another post), over a year ago, I talked to Mark about getting better at it and maybe one day, selling them. Of course, there was this cross-country move that put everything at a standstill, but I’ve decided I AM going to write up a business plan and start scheduling out deadlines for me to start a baking business.
My Granny, whose passing I wrote about when I mentioned that I keep her photo in my kitchen, owned a pie shop for years. My other grandma (whom we so-southernly call Meemaw :)) worked there, too. Both of my grandmothers can be credited for so much of the woman I am today, so every time I think about following in her footsteps of starting my own business, I keep crying!
They’re happy tears, though. Happy, exciting, you-just-wait-and-see tears.
Yay! Congrats!
I’ve been trying to get my SIL to start a similar business. What a gift.
Whaa!?!??!?! THIS IS SO AWESOME!!!
I had a blog friend (who has since shuttered her blog) who was an EXPERT at frosting sugar cookies. Seriously, the skills were incredible. I’ve tried it a few times with acceptable results, and had a BLAST doing so. Gah! I’m so excited for you!! Whooop!

These are so cute!!!
Good luck with it all 🙂
This is SO exciting! I have no doubt you’d be successful! You are so talented and have such a good attitude. I’d definitely buy from you! 😘
Those are fantastic! Good luck with the business
Great job! My cookies would be barely edible and definitely wouldn’t look that good. Good luck with the business!
How exciting for you! Best wishes for your continued success and the cookies look incredible!
