The beauty of Sweet E’s Cookies, Y’all!

It’s an exciting week around here at Casa de Solessence – son turns 8 in a few days, and we are getting ready to party!  Of course, it all starts in the classroom, so when I had to think of how to keep the kiddies happy, my thoughts turned to cookies.  And when I thought of cookies, I thought of Sweet E’s Cookies, Y’all!   Owner Elizbeth (the Sweet E for sure) has been tantalizing everyone in her feed for months with gorgeous displays of her vanilla almond sugar cookies with vanilla almond royal icing. She’s got beer mugs and dresses and any number of themes, but after a consultation with her we opted for rounds and football shapes because they ship better. Her recommendations were right, and they arrived today in perfect condition. It was such a huge box I thought our order of 24 must contain 240.

Not only were they beautifully bubble wrapped, but when we opened them up, found each cookie was individually wrapped.  So pretty!

Son asked for camouflage, and these are all colored and drawn by hand.  They are huge!  And they smell and taste fantastic (what, we had to approve them before they could go to school) .

There was even a little surprise tucked inside for me.  Look, that’s my logo! With. Pink. Glitter.

If you’ve got an event coming up I highly recommend these fabulous creations. Take a look at her page and you can see how creative she is. Contact Sweet E’s Cookies, Y’all on Facebook for questions and ordering.
