Thank You Cookies

Here are some simple thank you cookies for someone who helped me out with a little coding on my blog.

Bachelorette Party Cookies

Once again, please forgive the hiatus.

Here are some bachelorette party cookies I made for a friend whose sister was getting married.

I used Sugarbelle's tutorial for making the Chippendale chests.

For the bras, I have seen a lot of people use the upside down heart as bras or swimsuits. It really is a great multi-function cutter.

I got really creative with them and made each one different.

Finally, the plaques. I have this cutter from Copper Gifts. It is so perfect. There is tons of room to write on it, and it just has a really lovely shape.

To flood this cookie, I usually follow the sides, but skip the points and then drag them out with a scribe so I can get a nice crisp point. 

I free-handed all of the lettering. But I used the font Tagettes as a reference for writing the "Mrs". I practice a few times tracing it on wax paper, then freehanding it on an outline of the cookie to make sure I can see how it will line up, and then I go for it.

Happy cookie-ing.

Valentine's Day Cookies

It's Valentine's Day, so I made you cookies. Actually for real, I sent three special people a package of cookies. I thought it might be a nice surprise. By the way, I am terrible at keeping surprises, so this is a big deal. I already ruined it for one of them because I told them to check their mail today (stupid college mail rooms ruining good things).

I started planning these cookies about a month ago. I made the cookies and froze them. Then this week I decorated them and shipped them off.

I thought I was being super original making chevron hearts, but a quick googling says I am not alone....

So, I kept going. I made the chevron ones, the scalloped ones and the honeycomb ones. I love the way they all turned out. They are a great cookie for a beginner because you only need to mix 2 colors and pipe some lines.

Then add my favorite border, super easy dots! They immediately clean up even the ugliest cookie.

 

Happy Valentine's Day!
