Mickey and Minnie Mouse cookies were for a brother and sister.

I’ll be travelling end of this month to US, desperately busy accordingly; but also looking for opportunities to but lots of decorating supplies. Looking forward!!

Soyhan’s Circumcision Cookies…Most items on the boy are hand-made, but the crown is silicone moulded. Most unfortunately I do not remember I had purchased the mould. It could be etsy or aworldofmoulds.

As expected Christmas-New Year timeframe was a bankruptcy period for my personal self as it was hectic busy! Orders come at thousands (fortunately) and there is only 1-2 days to deliver all. We were well prepared this year, compared to previous years, so we are over with it by today. I can start blogging again!!

Just 2 days to go, then comes 2012, a year full of hopes and expectations!

RUSH RUSH RUSH! I cannot breathe before Christmas; orders coming in flows; will be more visible once we start the New Year! Have a nice day all!

The left 3 dress-shaped cookies, were imprinted by Holly Products embossing sticks (elif love HP emboss sticks). Ribbons by First Impressions silicone moulds; flower and heart by Patchwork Cutters and the little baby face by Alphabet Moulds silicone moulds.

I now have an iPhone App; lovely thing. If you wish to download, named Elif’s Cookies, and obviously free. Let me please know about your thoughts if you download. Here is the link.

As I work full-time, it took me too long to get the store finalized. (Not store but production facility). While working on it, I could not say ‘no’ to any support offer; so these cookies were prepared for the two, who spent a reasonably long time for me on a Saturday, although they were not supposed to. Good news is, the facility is ready, but I need to do some applications and then wait, and then probably do revisions, and then and then… will this ever end!!

Valentine cookies created at various times for various people…

Suffering these days due to bureaucracy; need to get some kind of permission from Food Ministry, so I can grow the business, but so many documents, health reports, lots of stuff to prepare. Even the store needs to be organized/decorated/equiooed accordingly as required. Every second I find myself in rush (but real rush) for something, either the child, or the cookie business, or the wedding business, or Dell, my real daytime job. With so many hats in hand, I am unable to deal with computer stuff, mainly the blogs. Sorry about that if you are following me, but as always promised, I am really doing my best. The cookies below are not so specific, pretty simple to prepare, but feel free to comment me, şf you wish to ask about any product / cookie / or equipment I’ve used.

I had created all following cookies at different times for the customers of a restoration company. Baskets containing 50 cookies per customer, mainly insurance companies… I was then able to work with BMS (American origin) on production facility work.

If I were supposed to give birth today, I would have chosen these cookies for my hospital guests (maybe I still have the chance for a second baby!). Probably because, I have decorated tens of thousands of pale pink and pale blue cookies. I really love different concepts and ideas when it comes to cookies. I hope you’ll love them too…these are the latest products from Elif’s Cookies Facility.

Welcome Baby Leyla Duru!

Happy Saturdays! Just realized -as usual with me- it’s been a long while since my last post.

Truly, I’ve been swamped with so many projects; production facility +  wedding portal website + daughter (biggest job!!) + home + new house to move plus plus plus some minor stuff. I love the blog, and would want to post daily. I will get there sooner or later; need to surpass these days.

To start it off, I want to share Pinocchio cookies I had prepared for an ‘Age 1 Birthday Party’.

Pinocchio is hand-made. I spent hours decorating these cookies, because you can get no pinocchio themed products in the market – it is not very popular amongst kids. Most likely because it is not on screen.

Just the bow is moulded by First Impressions silicone mould. The rest are hand-made. Below are also some other products I had prepared for the party.
