COOKIES FOR ERICSSON TEAM

Mehmet is an Ericsson team member who got promoted recently. His full of fun friends wanted to give these cookies to him as a gift to say ‘Congratulations’ and ‘we will miss you’… these are written in Turkish on the pink & purple cookies. The suit wearing guys are as well Mehmet.
also some photo cookies including funny photos of each team member. We too congratulate Mehmet on his promotion.

On the right bottom is my logo cookie 🙂

BRIDES AND GROOMS

There must be even more of these cookies; but I was lazy to check for more… of those ten thousands of bride-grooms cookies, these are a few samples. I was also posting before some photos, and these come in addition.

Every time I decorate bride-groom cookies I am in pain. I cannot stop saying to myself that I would have wanted them in my wedding, that is why I always strongly recommend any couple who call me for prices- to just go for it. As I had my wedding 5 years ago; long before I started the business, I decorate them for my beloved ones. But every time, I feel it in me. I should have had these. Maybe I should remember that on our wedding anniversary to celebrate with friends at some point 🙂 They look gorgeous on guest tables, perfectly completing any concept.
I don’t know if I shared this on a post before, but I am actually a professional. I work for Dell (proudly) and given that I am an expatriate in my hometown, I usually work from home. Sometimes, I try to prove myself that working from home is sometimes disadvantageous, in that it makes you anti-social, etc. However, that has never been the case for me. What is good about it is that, I don’t feel upset about having hired a nanny for my child, I wake up any time I want, it is never too late, I never feel the stress of starting the day early to rush to office, I can bake cookies during lunch break or in any 10 minutes instead of losing my time at cafes, I can get sick and not stress about the next day’s job-to-finish, etc etc etc… It is a dream to be able to work from home, and therefore I reject to even go for an interview to any other company. Who else would give me such a privilege! Working from home does not mean laziness however; if you dont work, you end up missing deadlines, so it is important to put yourself under an organized discipline.


My flat is therefore my home, my professional career + my personal business (cookies) and other businesses (wedding web portal etc). It is difficult to believe that I don’t spend much time at home as I love outside activities more.

WELCOME BABY COOKIES FOR GÜLCE

Welcome baby Gülce! She looks as pretty as on the cookie!

 

Last week Ece (my baby) and I were in Budapest with Matej & Lucia, my friends from Slovakia. As they had arranged every detail about our trip (from hiring a baby car seat to flat rental), I had no issues travelling alone with Ece. we simply enjoyed the view and food, and greatest company of my friends. eh, also a bit of shopping (well pretty much of it I have to admit). But no decoration supplies for my cookies, as I had no time to investigate. There might be some shops as I came across with a store where they sold cookies with icing.

 

You could see on her face, she was so happy on the trip!

MINNIE MOUSE COOKIES

and these are the cookies of the birthday party (look at previous post on my daughter’s birthday cake with Minnie). As far as I remember Mickey has 4 fingers, but noone even realized that as the party was for elderly people mostly, members of the family. 🙂

I used fondant to cover the cookies in white, and painted the stripes with a brush and black edible gel colour.
below are real-life photos from the party. Ece was not surprised at all when she saw the cake, because it was not purchased but baked and decorated in front of herself. So, she behaved as if a friend Minnie stopped by.

Materials below are all the stationary. Click on the photo to enlarge if needed; all the posters, decorations, magnet gifts, invitation, lollipops etc are photographed. All I am missing is the photo of the table where we presented around 30 types of food for our guests. So the fuchsia colored Minnie Party was finaly run! I am happy it is over safely!!
