Cinderella Paper doll cookies

These cookies were made for my cousins adorable little girl who is in love with Cinderella at the moment.  I was trying to find a way to make Cinderella cookies that didn't involve a lot of painted detail.  The animation style that Disney uses is so iconic that if I was off by just a few brushstrokes the whole image would look distorted.

 I was incredibly fortunate to stumble upon this very talented artist who makes lovely and fun stylized paper dolls.  The images on my cookies are directly inspired by Paper Dolls by Cory.

  I can not do the style justice but I think the cookies will make my cousins daughter quite happy.  I hope the cookies make you happy too.

Winter Wonderland Cookies

Sleigh bells ring, are you listening,
In the lane, snow is glistening
A beautiful sight,
We're happy tonight.
Walking in a winter wonderland.

Gone away is the bluebird,
Here to stay is a new bird
He sings a love song,
As we go along,
Walking in a winter wonderland.

In the meadow we can build a snowman,
Then pretend that he is Parson Brown

He'll say: Are you married?
We'll say: No man,
But you can do the job
When you're in town.

Later on, we'll conspire,
As we dream by the fire
To face unafraid,
The plans that we've made,
Walking in a winter wonderland.

When it snows, ain't it thrilling,
Though your nose gets a chilling
We'll frolic and play, the Eskimo way,
Walking in a winter wonderland.

Gingerbread, Maple Spice, and Chocolate Spice cookies with vanilla lemon royal icing.

$30 for 2 (individual orders will be accepted but cookie flavors will be the same)

Christmas Trees and Santas

This is a set of custom cookies I made for one of my customers.  She requested square hand painted cookies with either Christmas Trees on them or Santa.  I decided to do both.

Ho Ho Ho

The Santa's have luster dust painted on their hats and then a combo of luster dust and petal dust on their beards.

Have you been naugty or nice?

The trees are bordered with a wet application of luster dust and then have a dry brushing of luster dust over the trees

Oh Christmas Tree, Oh Christmas Tree

How lovely are your branches

I hope my customer has as good of a time eating these cookies as I did making them!

Christmas tree Tower 2012

My Christmas tree tower is one of my most popular items.  I got some new cutters this year to make it look even more like a tree.   

Now you have two shape options to choose from for your tree as well as two different icing styles, not to mention 2 different sizes. 

Icing style #1 is a full flooded cookie with establishments.  A tall tower (16 cookies) costs $30 a short tower (8 cookies) costs $10.  The towers are stacked around a bamboo stick ad a few are iced together to add to the stability of the tower.    Each cookie is easily removed from the tower for your enjoyment.   

Above you can see icing style #2 You can also see the two sizes of the tree large (16 cookies) and small (6 cookies) Trees with icing style #2 cost $25 for the tall and $8 for the small.

Because of the fragile nature of the trees I do not ship them assembled.  If you need them shipped assembly will be required, but I will provide instructions and all the materials needed to put the trees together.  

When you place your order let me know if you want a star or snowflake tree (Above picture left Star, right Snowflake) tree size, piping style, and cookie flavor.

Orders can be placed at vanessaslingsby@gmail.com

Happy Holidays everyone!
