New Home!

My husband and I recently bought a new home and this past week we finally sold our old house - what a relief! As a thank you gift to our realtor and a congratulations gift to the couple who bought our home I made these cookies. I think they turned out pretty cute! Our realtor absolutely loved them! These would be a great gift for a housewarming party or a new home gift!

Long Overdue Post! Christmas Cookie Order

This post is beyond overdue. I am actually embarrassed to just now be posting it but better late than never right? We have both been so busy the past couple of months with holidays, moving, vacations, etc. that I am just now getting to this. Excuses, excuses. :)

This was a cookie order that I did the week of Christmas for a friend of Lindsay Marie's mom. I absolutely love making Christmas cookies so this was a really fun one for me! This was an order for 4 dozen custom sugar cookies and I was given free range on what to do creatively as long as it was Christmas theme. I enjoyed this one so much! See pictures below.

We are looking forward to the new year and having a lot of orders to come! :)

Website is now official!

Pretty pretty cupcakes!

Last week Lindsay Marie delivered cupcakes to our wonderful photographer Kristal. Her instructions were the same as my cookies - just something girly and pretty :) I love these cupcakes that Lindsay Marie created - what little girl wouldn't love these?? I love the sparkles on the blue and purple cupcakes!

Early Christmas Cookies for the Jingle Mart

Last week I was asked if I would be interested in making some cookies for the Christ the King school's annual Jingle Mart. I was thrilled to be asked! I had less than 48 hours to do it though once I was asked...I like a challenge! Really I just wanted to use my new snowflake cookie cutters I think. :) Below are some of the cookies that I created for the event - hope all went well with it!! Thanks again for asking me to do this!

Girly cookies!

Girly cookies = pink and purple and sparkles and sprinkles! I had a fun time making these cookies. Kristal was nice enough to do the photo shoot for Lindsay Marie and I in exchange for a batch of cookies and a batch of cupcakes. I think we got the good end of the deal there! Her pictures are phenomental! This week I finally had time to bake the cookies for her. She requested something for her daughters and the only request was something "girly" and pink. Done and done! I delivered them today and when I asked her daughter if she liked cookies she said, "I like pink cookies!" I am told that the cookies were enjoyed and that makes me very happy! Thanks again Kristal!

La Marie's Confections Launch Party!

First of all, I want to shout out a big THANK YOU to all of those who helped us get ready for the launch party and for those who attended. We had a great time getting ready for the party as well as actually having the party last Sunday. I don't think either of us have ever made that many cupcakes and cookies at one time but we had fun with it :)

We held the launch party in one of the great event rooms at the Newburgh library. We baked ~100 each of our different flavors of cupcakes and cookies that we will be offering as well as ~100 cupcakes and cookies for the centerpieces which were decorated and for looks only. Below are some pictures from the party. Again, thanks to all who came and who helped us out!
