Jacqueline
Chocolat - French for Chocolate. I adored chocolate from a young age when I had to sneak in the cupboard to find where my mother had hidden the Nestle's Chocolate Chips. Having read about the famous chocolat shoppes in Paris, when I finally got there I was determined to try a chocolate from every Paris shoppe. I invite you to share my adventures in creating, in travel, and in life.

Words to Eat By
"Though never a very good dieter, she'd found a rule of thumb that kept her from blimping out as her metabolism aged - eat what you want, but not all of it. So if she wanted cheesecake, she made cheesecake, had a slice, and took the rest to a friend or someone in her church who needed a pick-me-up."

Oh Jacqueline, this is the most darling thing I've seen in Blogland; your grandpa loving your BLOG! Bless him tonight and always on his big birthday! What a lovely thing that he follows you and takes interest. These cookies/cupcakes are all so lovely and the colors are most definitely favorite for any season.
ReplyDeleteThank you for coming to visit my post. Your kind words are much needed and came to me in such a timely way. I hope your spring is emerging; ours is not! More snow coming tonight, but I BELIEVE in new life and it has to come some time for us!
Many thanks and have a fun birthday party! Anita

I hope Grandpa reads all the comments too! I love people that have passion, and I know Grandpa does. My husband and family are my biggest fans, and I should feature them more. The cookies will make the celebration so much fun!

ReplyDeleteHow beautiful and cheery! Happy birthday to him. The cupcakes are gorgeous and the cookies so cute! What a lovely party you made for him.
ReplyDeleteHappy birthday to your grand pa..
ReplyDeleteI just love the cookies!
Holy Cow, Jacqueline! You outdid yourself. You seriously need to be in the cookie and cupcake making/selling business. Those are SO professional looking. I WANT one-maybe just to look at rather than eat. They are all too pretty to eat AND your tablescape is fantastic!!!! GREAT job! xo Diana
ReplyDeleteEverything looks great Jacqueline! I love the cupcake cookies! Happy B-Day to your Grandpa, have fun tonight:@)
ReplyDeleteHappy 80th to your grandpa. The cookies are awesome, and decorated like a pro and the table colour scheme is very guy friendly.
ReplyDeleteYes, family does like to be featured on our blogs.
Happy birthday to Grandpa. How sweet that he reads your blog and you featured a very special birthday tablescape just for him. The cookies are darling and colorful. I do love red and turquoise together...fun and lively. The cupcakes are gorgeous and look like they came right out of a bakery.
ReplyDeleteEverything about this post is beautiful. The sentiment, the cookies...and oh those cookies. They are every bit as nice as any I saw last week. I love the colors. And I can't wait for the buttercream tutorial...oh how I love buttercream and the cupcakes are gorgeous too. It was so much fun to meet you and Joni last week. I think I might just need to up my cookie skills!
ReplyDeleteWell thank you for the Birthday wishes! Mine was on Monday! Happy Birthday to your grandfather too! I love that he follows your blog. Your color choices look fabulous. You are so talented- I want one of those cupcakes so bad!! LOL... The cookies are too cute to eat but I could manage!! Hugs, Liz
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday to all!!! I love the color palette and those cookies are picture perfect. I've tried Swiss Meringue Buttercream once and it is a bit tedious. A couple more tries and I think I'll have it.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful table, and the cookies are amazing! Love the decorated cupcakes too. You made Grandpa's birthday special. :)
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday Grandpa! What a special table! I love the colors and dishes. I have to tell you, the cookies and cupcakes look beautiful! You are so talented. Just perfect! I am sure Grandpa felt very special.

Very colorful and fabulous! Your cookies look wonderful!
ReplyDeleteJacqueline you graduated at the top of the class for sure from Cookie Con! Wow, those cookies are so professional and over the top cute! LOVE your color palette too, so smart. I know your grandpa is thrilled, and that's so awesome that he reads your blog! I have been trying to explain my blog to my 98 year old MIL and she has no clue what a computer does and just doesn't get it at all!
ReplyDeleteRed and aqua is one of my favorite color combinations! I am absolutely smitten over your cookies; I love them so much!
ReplyDeleteLovely...your color scheme is so striking!
ReplyDeleteYes, I HAVE noticed that people love to be featured! Isn't that fun? I'm glad your Grandpa enjoyed being the featured attraction this week! Happy Birthday to him!!! You put together a wonderful table in his honor! The bold colors are really great for a guy.
ReplyDeleteI can't even begin to describe my admiration for your cookie decorating talent!!!!!
Happy Birthday Grandpa! Love the fun you had with your treats and decorations! And your Easter parade is the best! Enjoy your weekend my friend! Hugs!
