CookieCrazie's Week in Review

_________________________________________________

Personal Side

It's always weird when I take a week off from cookies.

Even though cookie news and cookie-related stuff is all around me......

I miss decorating cookies.

This folks, is why I'm CRAZIE. haha

I had a productive week getting most of the supplies for our Ukraine trip gathered.

Yesterday, I bought 7 bottles of corn syrup! :)

They don't have corn syrup in Ukraine.....

so I'm making up some "cookie decorating kits" for some of the ladies.

It will be so fun to have a cookie class with them on the retreat and then watch them
"take cookie decorating home with them". 

Can't wait!

This next week I have a unique cookie project to do.

It's only unique for me.....most cookiers have already done something like it.

I'm super excited about trying out a few new techniques in the process.

How did we get so blessed as to have so much fun doing something that others love too?!

♥♥♥

A little personalized gift for a friend with my new
Alphabet Block cutters from cakesbyximena.com.
Fun!

Happy Saturday!

The feminine side of the gender reveal cookies....

One of my favorite sets from last year......using just three colors. :)

Awww......even though these are from many months ago, they still bring a smile....

Glamor Shopping & Gift Bag Cookie (Tutorial)

Who knew a gift/shopping bag cookie could be so fun to decorate?!



Creative Cookier provides this super cute cutter HERE.

Outline and flood the bag's side first.
Allow it to dry for at least 15 min and then outline and flood the bag's front.
(see photo below)

Allow the cookie to dry for at least 30 min.

Outline and flood the tissue paper on top of the cookie.

(I used navy for the bag, and since dk blue glaze tends to bleed more, I gave the bag 1 hr of dry time.)

After a 30 min dry time, outline and flood some 3D tissue "folds" onto the tissue paper base.

(see photo below)

Wait another 30 min and add detailing lines to the tissue paper.

Dry overnight.

Since I wanted silver tissue paper, I painted on silver pearl dust mixed with vodka.

(You could also use Rainbow Dust Metallic Silver Food Paint.)

Add a handle over the top of the tissue paper once the dust is dry.

(see photo below)

For extra flair, add an edible clay molded flower or decoration.
(Here's the flower mold used below.)
