Golf and Deer Cookies

Hello!

I've been a little low-key on the baking lately.  I did start working on a cake for a relative turning 90, but things took a sideways turn, grandma went in the hospital and the party was postponed, so those cake plans were put to a halt.  Grandma is fine, by the way.

This past week, one of my best friends who works at our Baltimore company branch had a male co-worker in the hospital with a scare.  My friend/co-worker B is such a good person.  She went to the hospital several times to check up on our male co-worker K, as he has no family near and was alone until his family could drive in from out of state later that day.

While speaking over emails about him, we 4 gals who talk over email daily decided to do something for him to let him know we're thinking of him.  I offered cookies, they agreed and offered money to help pay for supplies and shipping.

K likes to hunt and golf, so I went on Google Images, found some cute designs and made these cookies below.

Isabel piped the grass on the golf balls.

I'll be mailing these off to him on Monday.  He's off recovering for a couple of weeks.

Get Well Soon, K!

Superbowl Party Cake

We were invited to a Superbowl Party. Now, we none are sports fans (except for me, and pretty much only when it involves my Alma Mater, the Florida Gators.) We're going for the food and company.

I offered up a carrot cake, as its been the cake of choice these past two weeks. I decided to add a little fun to the cake.

Say Hello to the New Orleans Saints fan. Cool hair, eh?

This is a ratty couch. Hey, it's my first couch, give me a break. :)

Here are bug-eyed lady and her man, Saints Fan.

At their feet are some snacks, cups and a Colts football cap.

Here is Mr. Colts Fan, standing up, holding his arms aloft. What is he whooping at? Why is Mr. Saints Fan pointing? WHAT are they looking at?

This.

The frosting's ugly, but I still like it!

Be it the Colts or the Saints, I hope everyone has a fun time watching the game this evening.

Football Cookies

Yes, I know this blog is called Kaaren's Kakes, but I can also be creative with cookies, can't I? I purchased some football cookie cutters on clearance for $2 at Wal-Mart and thought I'd give them a go. I am having fun with cookies.
