Sprinkles from Anne

Over the last few weeks, I have been testing out a few new gadgets and ideas. And, I'll let you in on a little secret, I really want to be an 'icing ruffle' master. But I have a LONG way to go. This weekend, I am making special tutu cookies...

Whenever I see cute birdie cookies, I think of one of my favorite songs. Bob Marley's 'Three Little Birds'. Rise up this mornin',  Smiled with the risin' sun,  Three little birds  Pitch by my doorstep  Singin' sweet songs  Of melodies pure and true,  Sayin', ("This is my message to you-ou-ou:") ...

I think I smiled the entire time I was decorating this glamorous set of vanity cookies for a special birthday girl. One of my favorite customers contacted me 4 months ago and booked this birthday order for Kaylee, thus the K monogram on some of the cookies. Kaylee works at...

I love to read. I think I get my love for reading from my mom. We read together every day when I was little, and then when I was a teenager, we'd read the same books and would chat about them. There really is something magical about diving into a...

I think it is the age that I'm at, but there seems to be a baby explosion going on. Within my group of friends (facebook, neighborhood, and friendy-friends), I know of more than 35 babies that have been born within the last 9 months. I am one of the 35....

It's a superhero cookie!!  I made two sets of these cookies for two real-life superheros. Two guys, with birthdays one day apart, both comic book fans, big hearts, and they don't even know each other. Nuts.  The theme of this project was DC Comics. No Marvel characters here. I do...

It's finally spring in Happy Valley. That means the weather is getting warmer, the grass is getting greener, and the football team is starting practice in preparation for the annual Blue and White game. So what better way to welcome a new spring, a new season, and our new football...

This year, Flour Box Bakery will be offering two Easter Cookie Collections. I am so thrilled be offering a vanilla and a chocolate cookie collection!  SPRING EASTER BUNNIES AND EGGS The first collection is a pink and green set of whimsical Easter Bunnies, Carrots and Eggs. There are 14 vanilla...

How long have you known your oldest friend? Jessie is a friend I have know since 6th grade. We just seemed to click right away. We stayed close throughout Jr. High and High School, a trip to Spain and the Jolly Pirate, and then (unplanned) we both went to Penn...

Sometimes in life you find out about a difficult situation and you wonder if there is a way to help out. A local family is going through a very tough time and I was praying and praying for them. I wanted to help, but I didn't know what I could...

One of my favorite cookies to make is the peacock! Would you like to order? Click here to view the product info!!  It is my most popular cookie favor to date. While I was making a recent order of peacocks, Topher tested out the time-lapse video feature on his new...

We are a PBS family. Not only does Topher work for a PBS affiliate (WPSU), we just love the shows and lack of commercials. And, of all the shows, I love Sesame Street the best. It's one of those shows that adults can enjoy with their kids. Have you seen...

I am so excited to share the 15 cookies for the St. Patrick's Day cookie collection for 2012...available for order here! Erin go bragh! Ireland forever! Cookie puzzles are great,  and add a little disco dust and whoa, they are pure magic!! Thank you, Casey of Casey's Confections for making...

If my cookies had elbows, they'd be rubbing them with celebrities. Here's the full story... A few weeks ago I got the sweetest email from a gal named Jo. She wanted some cookies and she lived in England. I have shipped cookies to Spain and Australia before, but international shipping is...

Is there a cookie explosion going on in this world? I think there might be. Maybe I have been under a rock this past year, but recently I am discovering a new cookie artist almost every day. There is some serious talent out there. It's inspiring and motivating. The best part?...
