18 dozen grad cookies ready for pickup today!! it's been a busy past month or so. the freezer has been reorganized to preserve these precious goodies as they were finished. i am so thankful for the handful of repeat customers, and for the many new ones that reached out too to order special treats for their parties. i formed a love-hate bond with each set, and i was proud to see them leave my house and bring joy to someone's grad.
congratulation class of 2024!
this is probably my favorite set - for obvious reasons. the person who ordered was referred by a c/o 2023 mom and sent me pics from some of my own previous cookie sets to select exactly what she wanted. talk about the easiest order ever!! no guesswork on the cutters and i already had the stencils made!! (4 dozen)
this order for 4 dozen was a last minute add - but i couldn't turn down doing some for a neighboring town's high school. black icing is not my favorite, mostly because it is hard to make and so unforgiving with mistakes. but i think they turned out well. half were for the high school and the other half for the college.
this set was part of 2 dozen that had 3 themes: 8 softball, 8 high school, 8 college.
these are the softball ones.
the most last-minute order was accepted with just a week's notice, but again - i have trouble saying "no" sometimes. i thrive under pressure! this set of just 2 dozen was also a theme i had never done, and when they said no caps n gowns - i was thrilled!!
my smallest set was made as a gift for little sister's boyfriend.
i really like the way the stenciling turned out.
the remaining dozens were a mixture of the hoodie cookie sets and high school themed. i had a spreadsheet going to make sure i made the correct number of each shape and checked off the names as i personalized them just so i did not make too many errors.
in total - for the whole month of may 2024 - i completed 22.5 dozen for graduations!
that is up from 15 dozen in 2023, 15 dozen in 2022, and just 3 dozen in 2021.
