The day after I arrived on Guam for the holidays, I went right to work making gingerbread girls and boys for my niece Caroline's first birthday party.
Caroline was born on December 23rd so my sister decided to have a holiday themed birthday party. Originally, she wanted it to be a Winter "One"-derland theme but that didn't seem to fit since we were on a tropical island. Ha, ha!
I am not a big fan of gingerbread so I made sugar cookies instead. I tinted the dough with some chocolate brown Americolor food gel. It was hard to get each batch of dough the same shade of brown. My mom and I were teasing that some of the gingerbread boys and girls laid out in the sun a little too long and others got just the right tan. :)
The cookies were decorated to match the gingerbread boys and girls on the invitation, cupcake toppers and banner all made by my good friend Cynthia over at
Cute C Things. You really need to check out her blog and Facebook page - she does AWESOME work!
