It is easier to decorate the same cookie in hundreds compared to decorating each differently. When I organize any party, I make sure, all cookies are same. This creates preparation speed as well as a need for less cookies. This is simply because, every guest usually wants one from each different style of cookie, and in such case I have to decorate many alternatives for everyone!

Welcome baby cookies are for a mother who had also ordered baby shower cookies earlier..she asked for the same on a lighter pink with creme white. I was most upset when I started to prepare these as I had lost my favorite tools, the heart and flower shaped patchwork cutters! I ordered a pair already, 1 to use, the other not to get upset if I lose again!

a different set for a baby girl, unlike my classical pink baby stuff cookies!
