Happy Anniversaries

The last month or so there have been quite a few anniversaries. 

(Including my TEN year wedding anniversary, tomorrow, June 23rd!!!~Ka'ala)

Here are a few of the things we came up with...

Up first are some surprise "Happy 12th Anniversary" cake shaped cookies for our friends Paul and Aran...

Then we were asked to make some "Happy 18th Anniversary" Cookies for Tad and Terri. Being that I had just been working on the ones above I used the same idea. Tad and Terri also wanted their actual wedding date on the cookie so I used the heart cake to do that one. I thought their idea was a great personal touch!

And then finally, we made a special surprise for our friends, Charles and Cheryllani, who celebrated their TWENTY FIRST wedding anniversary!! They are an awesome couple and this milestone deserved an awesome surprise. Charles likes LOVES gingerbread anything so when we saw these Lemon Creme Filled Gingerbread Sandwich Cookies from Bake at 350, we just knew they had to be a part of the gift.

We also did some regular gingerbread too. Then we made some love trees complete with "heart" apples in the tree and their initials "carved" into the tree trunk. These too were inspired by Bridget at Bake at 350. (She's awesome!!) And then to top it all off we included 21 hearts to represent 21 years of marriage!

We put them in mason jars with pretty fabric and ribbon and cute little tags and put them all together in a basket. They were a huge hit!! Charles and Cheryllani were truly surprised :)

It's always great to share these special times with our friends, and great to see the smiles that they bring. We look forward to bringing more smiles to lots more in the future!!
