Contest Winner
I am finally getting around to announcing the winning logo! Serena Simpkin of New Zealand found Cookie Capers on Facebook and decided to give it a try. She's a stay at home mom who has a background in graphic design. I hope to work with her to get a whole new look to the blog as well. Thanks Serena!

Goofin Off
I had some leftover cookies and wanted to do something with them since I never got around to their original purpose due to a death in the family. They sat in a baggie for a couple of weeks until I saw this post and was inspired to practice making straight lines. I decided to send these to a couple of uncles who have been begging for cookies and said they didn't care what they looked like! They aren't exactly masculine but I'm sure they will enjoy them anyway! :)
I was just goofing off with these. I really like how the brown looks as a background for bright colors. |

Airplanes
I had a request for airplane cookies that had a "Miss You" theme. I always worry about cookies with narrow appendages like the airplane cutter I have does.
They sometimes get broken while I am decorating for when they are being packaged. Besides, I couldn't really picture that kind of childish plane in this particular arrangement.
So I turned to scrapbook and stamping sets that fit the idea I had rolling around in my head. This plane design from Stampin Up was perfect!
Baby, Baby, Baby
I have been studying some different cookiers and their techniques for a while and really liked the idea of painting on cookies. I had some cookie ideas in mind that required a bit more detail than icing would allow me so I decided to try painting the details. I love to paint so this was right up my alley! Before we start, I wanted to clarify that I traced these images onto dry, iced cookies. I am not privileged enough to have a Kopykake projector. Yet.
I found these images on a rubber stamp site. I copied and resized them to fit my new homemade cookie cutter! Yes, I got their permission to use the images and yes, I did color them Sunday morning in church. :) |
To paint, you just use 1 part food color and 1 part water. EASY! |
I was tempted just to paint them totally but I didn't. |
Notice my shiny new stainless table! I love it! And I love these babies before they even have faces! |
These were so fun! I didn't mean to put this doggy in. The other one I did was better but you get the idea! |
For the letter cookies, I found a font, printed D's and then traced them with icing on wax paper. When they dried, I added them to the blue circles with icing. I did the same with the domino. |
The domino is significant. The baby, Dominic, is affectionately nicknamed Domino. |
