Actually, I'm saying words like "are," in the present tense. But I should probably be saying "were" since I don't know how many have been eaten by excited little Webkinz-loving children. (Personally, if I were one of those children, I would never eat something so adorable... but that's just me, and I'm a total pack rat. I hope some people got to enjoy eating the cookies as well as looking at them.)
I'm totally digressing. Friday morning, I delivered the cookies to my brother's 3rd grad class. I am happy to report that everyone loved them! It was so sweet, actually, because his class thanked me for the cookies. They're such cute little kids! 3rd grade is a fun year, I think. (Shout out to Ms. Reese!)
Mom told me just today that the cookies in their entirety sold for $40. Although the PTO family night's fund raiser was supposed to be a silent auction, the cookies were sold individually (which is cool with me, since they earned so much). All that money went to Relay for Life.
I am so proud!! Those cookies were fun and they were for a good cause. Baking at its best, I believe.
And now for the photos...

Kelsie, you are an AMAZING artist!
Kelsey, I'm very impressed! My daughter is a Webkinz fanatic. Where did you get the cookie cutters?
Thank you for helping to raise money for Relay for Life. I'm fighting breast cancer right now so this is a cause close to my heart!
those are soo cute! and look so edible!
Keslie - WOW! Your skill is really something and it's interesting to read your blog and see how you've learned and tried new things. Thanks for sharing it with us!
You did a fantastic job!!! I do all sorts of crafty things, but have not tried to do anything food wise. Way to go!
Those are SO cute. I love them.
WOW KELSIE!
...i wish i started perfecting my skills at 16!!!
Awesome work and I see you only getting better....
amateur or not--- start looking to possibly sell these cookies online- you can use this blog and just add PayPal for connosieurs to place orders....
i am sure they are as delicious as they look-- besides a lil' extra college money ALWAYS helps!
fyi_ almost every dorm has a kitchen for you to work your magic_
Best of luck and massive SEK-SES!!
You are a really good decorator!
amazing! you are a very talented artist, with a great creative streak! maybe u should do MY cakes sometime!
-a talented artist, but not as much as u!-
I didn't use a cookie cutter; I enlarged the pictures on the computer, then printed them out and traced them onto wax paper and cut that out. I used that as my pattern, and I used the pictures to design the cookies :)
Thanks for the feedback!
What talent you have! I sure hope those bakeries nearby see your blog--and then your work in their kitchens!
Amazing!
Kelsie,
I am very impressed with your decorating skills, particularly your Webkinz cookies and Advent cake. Also, it is so refreshing to see a teenager who thinks of others (Relay for Life - right on!) and has found her obvious calling in life. I also smiled at how you save your money to go to Michael's - you are adorable. Your parents should be proud to have you as a daughter. I hope you get that bakery job this summer and can work on improving your skills. Also, hopefully there is a culinary arts program at a college near you. I know in 5 or 6 years you will be rocking this cake thing as a career. Good Luck! P.S - you should send a link to your blog to Ace of Cakes. They may invite you on to be a guest decorator, how fab would that be?
Oh my gawd! They're so freakin cute! Rock out sister, keep bakin' away. If they taste half as good as they taste, they'd totally rock out.
you are too talented! those cookies are way too cute! i dont think i could ever eat cookies that cute...i'd probably frame them and put them on display! ;0)

These are SO adorable! You did great! :) I agree with a previous poster, you should really look into selling your cookies online.
Those cookies are adorable! My daughter is having a Webkinz party in a few months for her birthday. Since I live in GA, I would love to buy some of your cookies and cakes...I will email you! You are very talented!!! I know your parent's are so proud of you!!

Glad I stumbled upon your blog....had fun looking at all your baked goods. I love baking too.
Great job, those are SO cute! So much talent for no training, even with training! I just started taking the Wilton cake decorating series and its so fun! Good luck getting a job at a bakery, should be no problem!
Sharing what you have with others can come back to you in so many ways. I bet the fund raising event was a success. They would appreciate what you've done for them.
