Alice in Wonderland and special friends

This story intertwines two lovely girls.  The first girl is named Brooke, and she is my son's girlfriend.  She gave me this dear antique teacup for my birthday.

Isn't she a sweetheart?

And here she is with number four son, Alec.

I know, totally cute, but there's more.  Brooke loves to bake, and here is an example of some cookies she has done. 

And here is a rose cake inspired by Amanda at I am Baker. 

Can you imagine what she is going to be doing in a few years?  Look out baking world!  Brooke was one of my first followers and I love her feedback on my projects as well as seeing what she had been up to in the kitchen.  Naturally, I was anxious to make teacup cookies using the vintage teacup she gave me as a model.

Enter second lovely girl.  My husband's sister called and asked if I could do some Alice in Wonderland cookies for her daughter Mary's birthday.  She specifically wanted the Cheshire Cat ala Disney style.  That was fine except for one problem - I didn't have a cat cookie cutter other than a skinny arched back halloween version.  No time to order one, so I had to freestyle it and hope for the best. 

He's kind of cute!  As long as I'm at it, I may as well make some little rabbits and flowers.

Not trying to be rude with the eat me cookies.  I just wanted to do a quote from Alice in Wonderland and "Off with her head" and "It's getting curiouser and curiouser" wouldn't fit unless I made a REALLY BIG cookie...

Boy, do I ever wish I had made these cookies in time for A Fanciful Twist's Mad Tea Party!  Maybe next year I will have the whole crew baked and ready for this fabulous event.  I really want to have my own little tea party with these today, but it will have to wait for tomorrow. So, thank you Brooke and happy birthday Mary - you really made my enchanted oven feel... well, ENCHANTED!
