These cookies are for sweet Jennifer and her adorable one year old Finn.
Jennifer had told me about her vision, and then sent a little picture along for me to follow from.
I would not consider myself a hippy by any means, but I sure did get my groove on making these!
As you might have imagined, I didn't have a bus cookie cutter, so I made a template and cut each one of these out by hand.
I love her color choices!
I sorta couldn't stop taking pictures of them.
Rainbows make me happy. (See here. And here. And here. And… well… this could go on all day.)
Rainbow sugar cookies make my belly happy.
Happy Birthday Finn and Happy totally non-official I am just making this up Rainbow Day to you!
*I used my favorite sugar cookie recipe and glaze icing.
Love em! So cool and unique. I like rainbow colors too, they make for great pictures!
Just adorable as usual! Love them!
Those are so much fun I doubt I’d be able to stop taking pictures of them either. You did a killer job with your piping Amanda! Honk if you love these! HONK!!!!!!

These are just gorgeous, I want to through a 60s party, make all of my friends dress like hippies and nosh on these cookies!
*Where* do you find the time to decorate your cookies so beatifully?
ADORABLE as usual. Love the perspective of the van, too. Takes me back to my own hippie days.

Oh my goodness!!! I looooove these cookies!! So cute!
I had a bit of a VW bus obsession when I was in high school. Can’t imagine why my parents never bought me one as a present… Silly parents!
These are co cute! It’s the most delicious crayon box of colors
How creative and adorable!
your talent is off the charts. i am buying a plane ticket and heading to the midwest, showing up on your doorstep with my sleeping bag and parking myself at your kitchen table. i plan on being an observer and won’t leave until i learn all of your tricks. is that okay?
very cute!! Love them!
ooooh I WANT!! yum!
These are adorable! I just love how colorful they all are!
How cute!! I love them
But I’ll admit, I’m a bit hesitant when it comes to making cookies that need a lot of different colors, I don’t want to clean all of it up in the end 
Just adorable!
I love all the bright colors you do, it’s super cute!!
I Hope you are doing great w/ your pregnancy!
xoxo

The pictures of these (and all of your other creations) are so professional! Do you have any tips?
Those cookies are great. I especially love the violet icing!
These are awesome! I love the colors you’ve used.
I bet they are the hit of the party!
I’m almost running out of adjectives to describe your cookies!!!!!
OMG! These are adorable! I am so impressed. I also want to dunk one of these in milk right now.
SUPER CUTE!
The colors are out of this world!
Such groovy cookies! These are really awesome, I can’t believe you did each one by hand, they are so perfect.
No wonder you wanted to take so many photos! I’d be tempted to get them on the floor and play traffic games with them! How adorable. And just perfect for a one year old.
Am loving the PB cookies with choc cov raisins too…copied it right away!
Oh my! These are absolutely amazingly beautiful! How did you have the patience to cut each one without a cookie cutter? You did a fabulous job! I do have a quick color question for you, if you don’t mind…I am making starfish cookies for a wedding in April and the bride would like them to be navy (with coral dots, the two colors of the wedding). Your purple/navy bus looks like a good place to start for the color…at least on my computer. How would you make navy frosting?
They are totally groovy!
Thanks!
Rainbows make me happy too! Amanda I bet your friend & her son were over the moon with these adorable cookies. I am so happy you shared all these super happy, bright & fun pics with us
