When life gives you lemons....make cookies!

After the whirlwind of Valentine's Day...yes I am just now coming off my sugar rush....it is now all about babies!  The past couple of months have been filled with numerous pregnancy announcements. I have to say that I'm very impressed with the everyone's creativity!

In celebration of so many friend's new life stage, here is a sweet reminder of what is to come!

I was ready for a new flavor of cookie, so I decided that I would try lemon.  It seems like it has been winter for so long now, so I wanted a little taste of summer.  I added a bit of fresh lemon juice and lemon zest to my go to vanilla almond cookie (minus the almond).  The cookie was good, but it was even better with the fresh lemon royal icing.  Yummy!

Stay Sweet!

Valentine Surprise

Ashley first became a fan of Sweet Cheeks Cookies when it was just a hobby.  Her husband contacted me with an idea to surprise Ashley at work with a dozen Sweet Cheeks Valentine cookies.  He didn't have a specific design in mind, so he let me do what I do best!

I guess it's safe to say she was pretty excited!

It makes me so excited to make people's day a little bit sweeter!

Stay sweet!

Love, Sweet Love

Valentine's Day is rapidly approaching, and it easy to tell by the gallons of red, pink, and white icing that is currently all over my kitchen.  

Valentine's Day isn't a holiday that I have always cared about.  However, as I have gotten older it has grown in meaning.  Everyone knows that Valentine's Day historically has been a holiday for romantic love.  While this love should be celebrated, I believe that other types of love should be recognized too.  

Life is busy!  Often times I forget to take the time to tell the people I love that I appreciate them.  Parents, siblings, children, and friends should all be told that they are loved and cared for.

Use this Valentine's Day as a time to celebrate love with all the special people in your life!

Here are a few pictures of this week's sweet treats...

Stay Sweet!
