Gymanstics Cookies

This project has to be at the top of my list of favorite projects!My friend asked me to make gymnastic themed cookies for her daughters birthday party.

 SO we got to brainstorming and went with these gymnastics silhouette simple round cookies in her daughters favorite color. I tried SEVERAL methods of applying the silhouette.I tried just using a food writer pen...it looked to boring. I tried piping it....too hard! I settled on using a new technique to me called cookie stenciling. After reading several posts on how to make your own stencil and make the royal icing stiff enough I got to town. Who would have though that creating a cookie would start with a trip to office depot to get clip art printed! I think they turned out REALLY cute! and I learned a new technique.

After all was said in done we decided to add some sparkle and then my friend packaged them and put this label on it! Isn't it cute!?

 

In other cookie news, I am starting my first class in cake decorating this coming Tuesday night! I could not be more excited! I have not had any professional training outside of you tube and I am looking forward to learning the right way to do things and being able to create more and more art on cookies! I will need a good excuse to practice my lessons so let me know if you have any cookie needs I would love to make it happen!
