2015 Graduation Cookie Collection

It's kind of humorous how we cookie decorators live our lives through cookies.
Graduations, birthdays, weddings, babies, thank-yous, etc.......we find a way to celebrate via cookies.


It's always fun to personalize a set of celebratory cookies for one of my family members.

This time I made a special set of cookies for my son, Keith's, college graduation.

Not only did Keith graduate with a BS degree in Business Administartion,
but he was also commissioned as a US Army officer through the ROTC program.

We had the privilege of attending his commissioning service,
and then attending his graduation the next day.


(I'm sure you can't see it below, but he is actually receiving his diploma on the stage in this photo. Yeah mom! ;))

Congratulations Keith.

We are so proud of you!!!

Graduation Robe Cookie (Tutorial)

My son graduated from college in December......
so it was time to make some extra special graduation cookies.

I had never done a graduation robe before, so I decided to take the plunge.

Cookie Cutter used: Plastics in Print Sports Jersey Cookie Cutter


Outline and flood the bottom of the robe in black glaze.
(see photo below)

Allow the glaze to dry for 1-2 hours and then using a cake tester, make vertical creases in the glaze.

(see photo below)

Outline and flood the top panel of the robe and the top half of the sleeves.

Wait at least 30 minutes before adding the bottom half of the sleeves partially across the robe.

(see photo below)

Pipe an outline in black glaze around the front panel and sleeves for more dimension.

If desired, add an honor cord or stole around the neck of the robe.
