As specialty bakers of decorated cookies, we receive a lot of visionary requests: some are sentimental, some are funny, and some are just plain kooky! We figured we would share some of our more exciting ideas, and see if they spark some new and fun plans for your upcoming party or gathering.

Wedding and Shower Ideas for Decorated Cookies

Not astonishingly, baby showers, bachelorette parties, and wedding events are some of our more common events for custom-made cookies. With everybody seeking something personal for their event, these make terrific party favors, goodie bag giveaways, as well as place cards!

A bride-to-be who had a big wedding event ordered a variety of our "Edible Elegance" decorated cookies, and had the tasty dresses customized to pair with every bridesmaid's dress and shoes. Little matching tuxedos were personalized with the groomsmen's names, and they created a game from finding their partners while blindfolded based on a guessing game. It was a terrific ice breaker for the wedding party, several of whom weren't familiar with each other prior to the party.

A different entertaining idea for personalized decorated cookies happened at a baby shower. The mom-to-be ordered many boxes of our "Cuddly Bear" cookie favors. Guests at the party were each given some of the cookies, and some tubes of decorator icing. They had a blast coming up with potential baby names, writing the names on the cookies and then playing baby bingo!

The game was entertaining, the parents got some great ideas for their baby's brand new name, and everyone enjoyed a sweet treat at the end of the party.

Decorated Cookies for the Team

Sports banquets are a magnificent event for sugar cookies personalized for each player. The cookies can be ordered with the team's color scheme, and then every player can have their name with their number emblazoned on the treat. It's a great method to acknowledge the enjoyment and cooperation of a grand season. Decorated cookies also make wonderful travel munchies for away games, or as a unique surprise for those long weekend tournaments.

One bowling team we worked with ordered specially personalized cookies shaped like bowling pins, with the name and high score of each league member from that season. They were presented on the last night of bowling, and were a big hit. You can find cookies to personalize for just about any sport, including basketball, baseball, bowling, football, soccer and more.

No matter what the event, adorned cookies are definite to become a hit. They are the best for birthdays, anniversaries, weddings, showers, as get wells, to celebrate a new baby, or express sympathy. They also make a perfect thank you gift for a special friend, a going away present for a co-worker, or a cheerful embrace to the neighborhood. When you order, make sure you choose a cookie company that bakes their goods in the US and ships fresh. Cookies should be baked, packaged and shipped within just a few days, to ensure the best look, fresh taste and richest flavor.

We truly enjoy sharing the joy of specialty cookies. Our recipe is a sweet and delicious sugar cookie, with just the right hint of honey and hints of freshly-ground spices. The icing is created for the right balance of flavor, and adds a beautiful and artistic touch to the presentation. They are more than cookies; they are works of art!
