After the success of the Mother's Day cookie bouquets I started thinking about ideas for Father's Day. I thought wouldn't tool cookies in a tool box be a great idea? Then I started to search the web for inspiration. Wasn't much there to feel inspired about. So I thought I would take a stab at them. Round 1 ended up in the garbage after my husband says "You are seriously going to take pictures of those? They are not your best work". I let a week go by before I gave them another try. I tried to decorate them, I did, really. After consistency issues and gray icing, I gave up on them and moved on. Am I the only who who thinks of 'Steel Magnolias' when you say "gray icing"?
I moved on to something more inspiring. Someday I hope to go to a place like this. This specifically is the Maldives. Until I win the lottery and get over my fear of flying I will probably stick with the Gulf Coast and just dream about this place.
But for now it's on my bucket list and I'll just think about it when I need some tropical inspiration. I really do like how these turned out. I only wish I would have baked more cookies they were so fun to do! Now the big question is who is going to be the recipient of them???
June is turning out to be a busy month of cookie orders! I also have at least one order a month for the next four months! Some very fun cookies coming up. I hope to put some 4th of July cookie platters and bouquets out here with pictures and pricing. Those will be on a first come first serve basis.

Well since you made them on my Birthday - or at least posted this - I think I should get a flip-flop cookie??
I take it we aren't going to be seeing any armadillo cookies in the near future? Love Steel Magnolias and love the ocean-themed cookies!
