The Baking Flutist

Happy Friday, friends! ☀️🏁

One of my favorite customers has a tradition that I absolutely love—every summer they throw an epic party for a whole bunch of kids and their parents, and every year there's a brand new theme. And somehow, each one is more fun than the last!

This year's theme? 🚗💨 Cars!

I always look forward to seeing what theme they'll dream up next. No pressure, but you've set the bar pretty high! 😆

Wishing everyone a fun-filled Friday and a weekend full of sunshine, laughter, and maybe a little friendly racing. 🏁❤️

🎓🩺 And just like that... my last graduation set of the season! 🎉

These cookies were created to celebrate Dr. Bahar Kazemi's graduation from an Emergency Medicine program — a huge accomplishment and the beginning of a career dedicated to helping others on some of their most challenging days.

I loved incorporating all the little details that make Emergency Medicine so unique: scrubs, EKG lines, X-rays, stethoscopes, and even an intubation design. Every cookie tells a small piece of the story behind years of hard work, long nights, sacrifices, and determination.

Congratulations, Dr. Kazemi! Wishing you a career filled with purpose, compassion, and countless lives touched along the way. ❤️

And to all of my 2026 graduates — thank you for letting me be a small part of your celebrations. It's been an honor creating cookies for your biggest milestones this season. 🎓✨

🎮 Level Up! 🎮

These Roblox cookies were made for two brothers celebrating their birthdays together — Fernando Level 8 and Eryk Level 9! 💙❤️

I'll be honest... I know approximately three things about Roblox:

It's a game.
Kids absolutely love it.
It makes for some pretty adorable cookies. 🤣

Happy Birthday, Fernando & Eryk! Hope your day was filled with fun, cake, and maybe a few extra Robux. 🎮✨

🍄🌲 A little fun-guy is on the way! 🌲🍄

When Mom asked for "A Little Fun-Guy Is On The Way," I got to trade roses for mushrooms and create a whimsical woodland world for Baby Block. The mushroom cottages might be my favorite part of the whole set!

I love when my customers bring me themes I haven't done before. 🌲✨🍄🤎

✨🍎 Mirror, mirror on the wall… these might be some of my favorite birthday cookies of all!🍎✨

I've had the honor of making Rylee's birthday cookies for several years now, and she always picks the most fun themes. This year was Snow White, and her family gave me complete creative freedom—a cookie decorator's dream! 💛👑

Rather than creating a traditional princess set, I wanted these cookies to feel a little more grown up while still capturing the magic of the story. From the Evil Queen and her enchanted mirror to the poisoned apple, Snow White's iconic dress, and of course the seven dwarfs, I tried to include as many beloved characters and details as possible. ✨🪞🍏

Sets like these remind me why I love custom cookies so much. Every order tells a story, and getting to be a small part of Rylee's birthday celebrations year after year is truly special. ❤️

Happy 19th Birthday, Rylee! May your year be filled with magic, adventure, and absolutely no suspicious apples. 😉🍎✨

☀️🌊 The Summer I Turned Pretty was a new one for me, and I have to say... my customers always introduce me to the best themes!

These cookies were created for Ayla's 11th birthday and were inspired by the dreamy coastal, New England beach vibes of the show. Soft blues, seashells, beach club details, and vintage cake-inspired cookies made this set feel like summer by the ocean.

I love when customers trust me with themes that push me outside my comfort zone and let me create something new. Happy 11th Birthday, Ayla! 💙🐚

🎓💻 Congratulations to the UC Davis Class of 2026!

These cookies were created for Kenny as he celebrated earning his B.A. in Computer Science from UC Davis. 💙💛

I wanted this set to include a few nods to the world of coding—from the classic "Hello, World!" message (often the very first program a new coder writes) to the computer chip designs representing all those hours spent learning, debugging, and problem-solving.

And of course, no UC Davis graduation set would be complete without a little Aggie pride. 🐴

Congratulations, Kenny! Wishing you all the best as you start this exciting new chapter. 🎉

I learned an important lesson the first time I made KPop Demon Hunters cookies: research first, decorate second. 😅

Apparently the blue "kitty" is, in fact, a tiger. 🤦‍♀️🤣

Now that I've done my homework, I was excited to revisit this theme for Serenity's 7th birthday! Between the bright colors, adorable characters, and all the tiny details, these were such a fun set to bring to life.

Happy 7th Birthday, Serenity! 💜🩷✨

Not every order has to be florals, bows, or baby showers. 🍻

When Keith's family asked for Coors Light birthday cookies, I learned two things:

1. I still don't like beer. 😂

2. Beer cookies are a lot cuter than actual beer.

Happy Birthday, Keith! I hope your day was filled with good friends, cold drinks, and plenty of reasons to celebrate.
Cheers! 🍺

A little explorer is on the way. ✈️🤎🩵

Mom wanted this baby shower set to lean into travel, and I had so much fun bringing that vision to life. The luggage tags personalized with "Staababy," the passport stamp onesies, the suitcases, and the hot air balloons all came together to tell the story of the sweetest adventure yet.

Welcome aboard, Baby Staab. Your greatest adventure is about to begin. 🌎
