by I was ALL over it as soon as Las asked me to make lady bug cookies for her goddaughter’s birthday. I love bugs – in fact, Averie’s nickname is bug and I’m hoping she’ll let me throw a lady bug part for her soon too!
I was on a hunt for a great cookie cutter when I stumbled across Sweet Sugarbelle’s idea of using a balloon cookie cutter for lady bugs — completely brilliant!
I tried out using squeeze bottles with icing tips instead of icing bags on this batch as well. I’ll quickly be switching back to icing bags for precision work like that — it was easier to cleanup and prepare, but it was too hard for me to keep a steady hand.
Even with the shaky lines, I thought they still turned out to be pretty cute!
I snapped a few pictures before trying to ship them… I haven’t shipped cookies before, so I was NERVOUS that they would all end up in pieces! Here they are, all bagged up and ready to be packed up for mailing!
Thankfully the cookies arrived (mostly) unscathed — but the good news is I’d tossed in at least one extra… (I can’t remember if I gave Averie the second extra or not!)
They were bagged and tagged as favors — I’d tied them with red ribbon before sending them off, and a black ribbon and favor tag were added when they arrived – I think they look cute!!
Las and her Mummy did a great job with the party, and it looks like the birthday girl really enjoyed herself!

Happy first birthday Miss Eve!!! Wish I could have been there to celebrate with you all too!!
