Doctor Who Cookies

I have a confession to make.  I LOVE Doctor Who!  I only recently started watching it when I found it on Amazon Prime instant videos, and before long I was hooked.  It took awhile to convince him, but I've now converted my husband as well. 

Anyway, when I found the phone booth cookie cutter at Plastics in Print, I had to get it and make some Doctor Who cookies.  Then I brainstormed some designs and made a few cookie cutters:

 

And here's what I did with them!  I got to try out a couple of new techniques including painting and airbrushing.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

New episodes of Doctor Who start this Saturday and we just got BBC America!  Are any of you guys fans?

Cookies for a Funeral

A couple of weeks ago I made some cookies for a funeral.  I was specifically asked for the crosses I made back in March and doves.  So sorry for the repeat design, but you know...

I used the extras as an opportunity to try painting on cookies.  I definitely need some practice with that technique.  I'll get to learn from the master, Arty McGoo, at Cookie Con in November.  Can't wait!

Scrapbook Paper-Inspired Flower Cookies

I decided to use my last week of freedom (aka the last week of summer school) to make my son's teachers some cookies.  It's been awhile since I was able to make cookies just for fun, so I really enjoyed getting to use some creativity to come up with the designs and colors.  Like the title suggests, I based these off of this scrapbook paper:

Cute, right?  So here are the cookies:

These were a lot of fun to make.  And it was nice to get to do a variety of designs instead of making the same cookie over and over again. 

I also tried out Sugardeaux's recipe for royal icing that has butter and vanilla extracts, and it got rave reviews from everyone. I may have to switch over for good.
