Fitness Cookies

I got an order for "gym themed" cookies, for a new gym opening in our area - to be set out at the grand opening. They were almond sugar cookie, and chocolate chip - and they turned out really cute!

This is the logo of the new gym, Core Fitness

They do kick boxing, taebo and other similar things there, and are big supporters of breast cancer, so pink Core Fitness boxing gloves were in order:-)

Can't have a gym without a little heavy lifting, now can you?

Pony Cupcakes

Tea Party

Parisian Themed Bridal Shower

Christmas Cheer

These are almond sugar cookies - a small nativity scene, and a shiny gold star make for a simple, and beautiful Christmas cookie

The gold stars are very shiny, which is hard to photograph. Each cookie is painted with edible lustre dust, and so they are sparkly, and reflective.

The gold star over the manger is also painted with lustre dust.

Pumpkins & Leaves

Here are some fall themed pumpkins and leaves...and they are CUTE!

50's Theme

A 50's/Mary Engelbreit themed Sweet 16

The cake is red velvet, and three 12" layers. Checkerboard border, and Mary Engelbreit styled roses in yellow and red.+

Fall Theme

A fall themed 30th birthday party

Baby Shower for Finn

A whale themed baby shower. I was given the colour scheme, and some ideas via pinterest. I hand cut out the whale cookie shape.

They requested a cake, and it was two layers 12" round - vanilla cake with creamy milk chocolate buttercream. I used a poured fondant to cover it, and made a cute little whale and "water spout" for the topper.

Brooms

An order for a company picnic - with "Broom" in it's name. I couldn't resist making cute little brooms for them!

Dad Cookies

You can make any sort of personalized cookie, even if you don't have a cookie cutter for it!

I wrote my word Dad, on a piece of paper, and then used that as a template to hand-cut out my cookies.

Excuse my "messy" table. I use the surface surrounding me to "clean" off the tips as I decorate, so you get icing smears all over the place:-)

Using a 20 second royale icing consistency, outline your word,

And then immediately fill it in, using the same 20 sec. icing. This will give you no "outlined" edges

Let them dry a little bit (at least 20 mins) before moving onto the next stage

Again, use 20 sec. consistency icing, and add a heart. Let dry 8-12 hrs or overnight.

Once dry, use piping consistency icing a pipe the outline of the word.

All done! I moved them over to the window for natural light. My dining room has horrible lighting and it changes the appearance of the colours in pictures.

All done!! Let the piping icing dry 8-12 hrs before stacking.
