"Cute As A Button"...A First Birthday Party...

 Could there be anything more cute than "Cute As A Button" for a first birthday party?

I think not.

 I was asked to do these button cookies for the button themed party for little Ellie's birthday.

I couldn't resist including a surprise birthday cupcake cookie for the birthday girl!

 I love this color scheme.

I was given a sample invitation to go on and I think this color palette is absolutely adorable for a little one's birthday party!

 You know that I just "have" to pick at least one thing on all of my creations that bother me...

And with this one, I was disappointed that all of the cookies didn't turn out perfectly round and that all of the button holes weren't uniform.

Until...

 A friend told me, "I think their lack of uniformity is what makes them look whimsical and cute! I thought you did that on purpose!"

 Ok...now I feel better, haha!

Yes, I have to agree with her.

It DOES make them look rather whimsical and cute not being perfectly uniform!

 I love doing themes like these.

When someone gives a request for "character" cookies...there is such pressure to make the character look EXACTLY a certain way.  When given a theme like this, it gives me more freedom to be creative!

I had a blast doing this project and think they turned out really cute.

It was a pleasure to work with my customer Cindy.

Happy birthday little Ellie!
