There are cookies. And then there are cookies. The difference, a talented gal like Erin and of course, a little Garnish.
Now, these cookies with their cute edible frosting decals are pretty amazing. But when Garnished with a glassine bag or a cellophane bag tied in twine, well now you’re talking!
Aren’t they wonderful?! A great little nugget of eye candy. Planning a Mother’s Day Brunch? Hosting a baby or bridal shower? Thinking wedding favors? Or my favorite reason to Garnish…no real reason at all! Just because…you like to make people smile.
So go ahead, get your baking on,or slice and bake (for you bakers out there please don’t cringe). Whip up a batch. Dole out the smiles.
Hello Cookies. Hello Frosting. Hello Garnish.
Garnish + Enjoy

This is the house that love built and it’s also our latest and greatest idea.
Fun, cute, creative and unique…all the fixings for a fabulous Valentine’s Day party or family activity. The house is constructed from wafer cookies and royal icing. It’s actually much more sturdy than a gingerbread house and very easy to build. Assembly instructions and material list are included with the idea.
New year, new traditions. I have a feeling this one will be here to stay.
The first reaction received to this Valentine’s Day activity…”So cute, my five year old would pee her pants over this!”.
I just about had to crack out the Depends myself!

It’s that time of year. You know, that time. They’re everywhere, playing with our minds. All things diet and exercise, have us by our marionette strings. All things fresh and new, are the bow to our fiddle.
Well, I say…phoey to it all! Don’t get me wrong, I support a healthy lifestyle. But I don’t think that healthy needs to be boring. I believe in a little something called moderation my friends. Okay, well honestly it’s more like I’m hiding behind that word because I have zero will power. So for me, moderation is a necessity. But here’s the thing. I love to bake, especially with my children. I also love to fit into my skinny jeans (without having to spray my legs with Pam in order to slide them on). So my resolution. Bake when I feel like baking. Enjoy a little and share a bunch. I mean really, does my family need 2 dozen cookies (emphasis on the need, want they just might)?!
Here’s the how to. A small bio-pak container for a brownie dessert for the family next door. A simple white box (with a circle label explaining it all) for an elderly friend. A berry box in a cellophane bag for the teachers’ room or office break room. All perfect (and stylish) ways to share.
If you’re looking for something sweet to add to your baking repertoire try these Rolo cookies I found at This Week for Dinner which came from A Greatfull Day (have to give props where props are due!). They are beyond decadent and incredibly easy (and fun) to make.
Enjoy all that life has to offer. Do it with moderation. And add a little Garnish.
Garnish + Enjoy

We’re going for two ice cream posts in a row here at Garnish because I am a firm believer that a) you can never have too much ice cream and b) there is always room, at least in my belly, for ice cream! Feast your eyes on an ice cream party favor brought to us by a very creative Garnish fan, Michele.
Here’s the 411 on this great make your own sundaes idea. She purchased some colorful bowls and spoons at her local handy dandy dollar store and then added a little Garnish. Each favor included rock salt in a small cellophane bag and instructions on how to make your own ice cream. Sundae syrup is in the small plastic bottle and all sorts of toppings are in the glassine bags. My favorite being little cookies in a glassine bag that says ’smoosh’, very fun. Let’s see, what else do we have going on here? Sprinkles in the black oval dip cup and a white bowl with lid is included to store the ice cream in the freezer (if it makes it that long!).
What’s left to say, but…WOW!

How fun! Maddie held a campout themed birthday party for her son and of course you can’t have a campout without some S’mores.
Here’s how she put her kits together. Maddie used the paper chipboard tray to hold everything, and also became the perfect S’more station/lap tray. I have to give her props because she has learned that when dealing with children…if each child has their own ’set up’, then everyone is happy! Inside the tray she included all the essentials, chocolate, marshmallows, graham crackers (in our cellophane bags). For a little garnish for the S’mores, she added some sprinkles and candies which were placed in the black oval dip cups. Our brown and white twine sealed the deal.
Thanks for sharing Maddie. Love your creativity. I’m sure you had a group of very happy campers!

This folks, is a great example of how to ‘package life’s moments’!
Today marks the 100th day of school and I was responsible for one of my little men’s class party. Now, yes, I could have thrown some cookies on a plate but there are two things about me you should know (if you have yet to figure out). One, I don’t want to just host a party, I want to create a moment. And two, it has to be easy…that’s why there’s Garnish! (more…)

Need I say more?!
Not only am I ‘head over heels’ with those I love, but I am with this idea too! So…this is what I’m thinking. A cupcake inside this white 4×4x4 box, with this square clear label and a little red and white twine. Presented to little dudes (okay, I’ll share with big dudes too) for a special dessert on Valentine’s Day. Oh my goodness the look that will be on their faces! I wonder how long it will take them to figure out the riddle? (more…)

So I’ve been sitting here for an embarrassingly long time with my “create new post” window open…the orange ‘publish post’ icon glaring at me like some Big Brother eye saying “hurry up lady and Get It Done!”. But here’s my problem…I’m stuck. My brain is locked, the creative juices have run dry and it’s as if my fingers have forgotten how to move across my keyboard. (more…)

Nothing like some summer sunshine to gather the troops and celebrate friendship. Thanks to Alicia for sharing with us her Garnished “Summerfest”. She and her husband are alums of Syracuse University and each summer their gang of fellow alums take turns hosting their summer get together. Sounds like a fabulous time, and idea to me! (more…)

Looking for an idea for a little girl’s birthday party? How about hosting an afternoon tea filled with beads for jewelry, painting, and sweet treats…what could be more girly than that?! That’s what one Garnish gal did and the results speak for themselves. I understand that fun was had by all and the birthday girl had a moment she’ll never forget. (more…)
