Happy Holidays from gk designs!!!

Gwen made these super cute snowman cupcakes for the Christmas dinner she and her husband hosted at their new house! Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to all of our friends and family!!

Stacey's Christmas Bridal Shower

Katherine's friend, Stacey, got married this Fall!!! Here are the pictures from her wedding shower in Houston. The party was held around Christmas, so the hostesses selected red and metallic colors for the theme.

White and Red Velvet cupcakes...piped with a fluffy white icing and embellished with bright red fondant pressed flowers.

For the favors...each guest took home a hand-stamped, personalized set of note cards and envelopes.

The stack of notecards were tied together with festive ribbon and paper poinsettias.

Thanksgiving Turkey Treats

Check out these turkey treats that Gwen made for Thanksgiving...

The heads are made out of Whoppers, the nose is the white tip of the candy corn, the eyes are piped with white and black icing. The turkeys' bodies are made with Reeses Peanut Butter Cups atop an Oreo, and the feathers are made out of a second Oreo and of course - candy corn.

"First came love, then came marriage, soon there will be a baby in the carriage!!!"

Katherine's cousin, Katie, is having a baby in January!! Here are the pictures of the invitations we made for her baby shower as well as the cut-out cookies decorated to look like the carriage on the invites. Katie's baby shower was great - can't wait to find out if the baby is a boy or a girl!!!

The fabric "carriages" were machine sewed onto the cardstock and buttons were glued on for the "wheels."

Once again - our gk cut-out cookies made the flight down south. We only had 1 cookie break on the trip to New Orleans!

Guests took home cookies as favors - tags were attached to the ribbon with the boy and girl names picked out for the baby!

Lindsay & Ben's Wedding Cookies

We made cut-out cookies for Lindsay and Ben's wedding this past weekend. The teal icing matched the bridesmaid dresses and other wedding details perfectly! Cookies were in the shapes of hearts, squares, diamonds, and circles...each with an "M" for the couple's last name! Congratulations to the beautiful bride and groom!!!

"As Time Goes By" Clock Cookies

Katherine's "Granddaddy" celebrated his 90th birthday this past weekend in Marble Falls, TX!! We were more than happy to make cookies to go along with the party theme - "As Time Goes By."

The clock hands were all "set" to 1:45 - Granddaddy's birth time!

The cookies were given as prizes, along with the wrapped bottles of champage!

Blue & Green Baby Shower!

Our friends Seth & Kelly are getting ready to welcome their new baby boy, so we threw a couples shower to get them ready!

The invites....

Backyard decor, which doubled as our gift to the mommy and daddy!

Hand-stamped napkins:)

Centerpieces - the flowers were cut from Gwen's front yard!!

White and chocolate cupcakes topped with our miniature cut-out cookies in 4 different animal shapes - lions, zebras, giraffes, and elephants "oh my!!"

The favors - clear boxes filled with M&Ms and our miniature cut-out cookies

Radicool Rubix!!!

Our friend Joel is a HUGE fan of the rubix cube!! :) For his birthday, his girlfriend Sarah suggested we make him a giant rubix cube cake and here are the pics! We had so much fun at Joel's birthday party - it's hard to pick out the best part of the night, but Sarah and Joel's engagement announcement was way up there! Congrats friends!!

30th Birthday Football Cake

Two of our friends were throwing a 30th birthday party and wanted a Cleveland Browns football cake. Our "clients" knew exactly what they wanted...we just added the gk touch!! :)

Top view of the cake.

The chocolate footballs outlining the base of the cake were hand poured and painted.

Happy 30th Birthday Randy!!!

Monday Night Dinner Cupcakes

We get together with a group of our friends every Monday for dinner. Gwen made these super cute (and very delicious) cupcakes when it was her time to host. Everyone had a hard time deciding which cupcake to eat. :)

Baby Boy Shower Invites!!

We made these diaper shower invites for one of Katherine's co-workers. The invitation wording was printed in a light brown on white cardstock, which slid out of the hand-made blue "diaper." The invites were tied with a blue and brown polka-dot ribbon and personalized with guests names!

Ice Cream Cone Cookies

Katherine made ice cream cone cookies for her students before summer break. These cookies were very time intensive, but it was well worth the work!!

Mini Cakes

Delectable mini cakes decorated with fondant.

Molds by Wilton allowed us to fill these mini cakes with contrasting icing.

This daisy mini cake is banded with ribbon.

Amie's Wedding Shower

Gwen was the party planner for her future sister-in-law's bridal shower on May 2nd. Guests gave Amie wedding advice by completing the phrase: "The key to a happy marriage is..." Keychains and candies were party favors. Here are some pictures from the party...
