Edible Corporate Cookies

Its been one exciting week. A challenge one after the other. I must admit, now that our new home has been secured for next year (YAY!!) , I could deal with just about anything. including icing shadows on a logo on personalised cookies. Took me a couple of nights of working out the kinks but in the words (& happy dance) of Dora the Explorer - WE DID IT!!!

and so the fun begins of creating something for a client for THEIR client. :)  We hope the meeting went well. Last I got an sms with the following msg -

"Cookies look great! U did a fantastic job! I will recommend for sure. Thanks for everything"  - MM

Finding Nemo

I had myself a challenge to meet last week. A request for fishes and nemo came up. Who am I to turn down a challenge?! The adrenalin pump was a welcome after the long summer break. I say challenge not for the artwork, but mainly for the speed that this special customer wanted her cookies done by. Each cookie was tied to a birthday party invite.. sort've as a preview of what the party theme was about! It was a mad rush for me, but I just want to give a shout out of thanks to my hubs for helping with a teething and cranky baby.  Time was moving so fast, I was amazed I got it done in time. I hope all her guests enjoy the cookies & themselves at the pool party this coming thursday *wink*

The Cookie Workshop.ae's Kitchen Re-Opens for more celebrations

EID MUBARAK!!! Wow! What a summer!!! We took an extra long break this summer in Morocco, in a small town where not one oven was in sight and not a kitchen was readily available for me to whip something up, and the internet connection left to be desired (I think I saw a garden slug move faster). so it was REALLY a 'step back' (from work and in time) and relax time for me. But boy oh boy.. am I all charged up to crank up the oven and start whipping up more goodies for YOU!


It is the month of Syawal now in the Islamic calendar, a month of celebration after a full month of Ramadhan where the Muslims had observed fasting from sunrise  to sunset. A week has since passed (Ok, I've missed the first few days of main celebration) but I'm psyched to bake up some goodies and share them with our friends here. Never too late to celebrate. It IS for the full month!

As soon as this jetlag passes over, LET THE BAKING (re-)COMMENCE!!!


hugs,
Aeshon~

THANK YOU for a wonderful month!

Woaaahhh.. May zoomed faster than a speeding bullet. There were sleepless nights (for many a good cause BUT of course!), there were quiet days (but many playtime) with Baby Noury, there were artistic challenges, and there was that pile of ironing that needed to get done! HAH! But I did it. I recently found  a long-sleeved shirt for Nour at a Debenham's sale that said- My mom is a SUPERWOMAN! I think that says it all (I'd like to think so anyways). 


Here's a rundown of what The Cookie Workshop.ae have been up to in May. Lets walk backwards, shall we :)  -

WORKSHOPS
We got the ball rolling with our first cookie workshop on 21 May  - Cookie Decorating with Royal Icing. Catch the pics in our Facebook group page. I had NEVER laughed so hard at a workshop EVER! The ladies  (all 10 of them) were a great bunch. I hope everybody had a blast.


CHARITY SUPPORT
We were happy to receive a call from the Children Hope Foundation again. They requested a bundle of wonderful big red hearts to say thank you to some wonderful people supporting the Foundation. I couldn't say No to our wonderful friends at CHF and here's what I got done. I hope everybody enjoyed their hearts :)

CHARACTERS

I was in need of a challenge (YUP! I declare! I'm nuts!). Doing characters are the one thing I can call challenge cos you'd have to draw WITH icing like you'd use a fine-tip pen. Sugar ain't ink, I tell you that!

and so.. my stubborn self chose to do a full Spiderman picture. Then I realised (just in time too!) that I must be mad to want to draw spidey ON a cookie cos that darn character got like a million lines on him! haha.. and so here's how Spidey turned out -

Managed to do one Doreamon, Spongebob Squarepants & Tweety the Bird. Check out the pictures in our Facebook group :)  Go on!
