Recent Custom Cookie Pics

I promised some new custom cookies and here they are! The first are some samples we made for a Sweet 16 party in NJ. The client gave me her idea of a fancy "A" in either pink or silver with the princess crown and maybe a butterfly. This is the final design she approved. The second is one of my favorites, the modern mom cookie. We changed the colors as per the clients request. I don't usually get to meet my clients (most cookies are shipped to various states, even Canada!) but it was very nice to meet you, Rosa!

Happy Belated New Year!

Wow! Time has flown since the last post in November. I apologize for not updating the blog as much as I should. Due to the economy, we have seen a slow down since December but thankfully things are getting a little better each day.

In other news, I have a really *FANTASTIC* recipe to share. It is for Potato Rolls from the Food Network website. I made them for Thanksgiving dinner and they were such a hit that they made an encore at our family's Christmas Eve dinner. They do take a bit of time to make but it is mostly because of the time necessary for them to rise. Otherwise, it is not a difficult recipe and the ingredients are inexpensive and basic. Overall, 5 stars!

Here is the direct link to the recipe:

I'll be posting again very soon with some new cookies!

More Custom Cookies!

2008-11-21T22:36:00.006-05:00

I must admit that I love custom orders. This week we were asked to make some custom Navy Star cookies. The customer asked us to find an image online (which I did, it is the second image of the flag) and re-create the logo on 3.5" rounds. Yummy!

Delicious Offer in time for the holidays!

2008-11-17T10:03:00.010-05:00

We are very much in the Christmas spirit this week, getting ready to make some seriously delicious gingerbread! The yummy fresh-baked cookie smell from our oven is pretty wonderful year-round but during the last month when the gingerbread starts baking its downright addicting! I'll be honest that I was never a fan of the spicy cookie until a couple of years ago until I discovered this recipe. It's a delicious blend of sweet with just a hint of ginger. My ginger-loving mom loves em' and my ginger-hating sister can eat almost a dozen by herself. "Do they taste like the ones I saw at "input store name here" I get asked this question very often and the answer is "no!" they are so much softer than those rock-hard men & houses at the grocery store and much more healthy too. We use the best ingredients like pure butter, real extract and never any preservatives. The best part is they are baked fresh just for you! These little men have managed to turn a whole lot of gingerbread-haters into lovers.

For a limited time, order one dozen or more of our "real" gingerbread men (4.5" size or larger) and receive $5.00 off your order! Enter code "GINGER5". Offer expires Dec. 12, 2008.

Please order early! We usually get booked during the first week in December! Go online to http://www.alissweettreats.com/, E-mail andrea@alissweettreats.com or call 1-888-229-2039 to redeem this special offer.

Goodyear Blimp Cookies

We had a very busy week, making everything from butterflies to cupcakes, every kind of photo cookie and custom cookies. But, these cookies were definitely one of our faves! We had a great time making these custom Goodyear Blimp cookies.

Wizard of Oz Toto Cookies

2008-11-09T17:51:00.004-05:00

We made 1,000 of these cute Toto cookies for a special corporate event. The client wanted a simple & small cookie individually wrapped to give to clients during the event. We received many kudos from our client after they received the cookies. A special thank you to Cathy from Paragon for her sweet voicemail and to Sam for contacting me a week later for a personal order. :)

Recycle Bank Photo Logo Cookies

2008-11-09T15:49:00.006-05:00

We recently made some photo logo cookies for Recycle Bank, they were 3.5" rounds and 4" rectangles. The rectangles looked just like giant credit cards!
