Birthday Decorated Cookie Sets

View fullsize

From time to time, I get wind of a friend anticipating a birthday, and decide to create a surprise set for them.

My favorite go-to cutters are:

• Cupcake
• Cake Stand
• Candle
• Confetti (snowman/baby rattle found in Sugarbelle's Shape Shifters set)
• Balloon (pirate face/whale found in Sugarbelle's Shape Sifters set)
• Gift Bag (shopping bag in Gone Shopping Collection from Creative Cookier)

It's super fun to customize the set for the birthday girl/boy's preferences in colors and shapes.

Happy Birthday one and all! ❤️

Birthday Cake Candle Cookies (tutorial)

Let's make some birthday cake candle cookies!

You'll need:

• Candle shaped cookies (I got the cutter HERE)
• Ten Second Icing (your choice of candle colors)
• Yellow 10 second icing
• Orange 10 second icing (or use orange food color marker)

 Outline the main candle with your choice of color.

I tried multiple ways.

My favorite style was the green and pink ones on the right.

You'll also want to outline the flame in yellow.

Let dry for 10-20 minutes.

Flood all the segments with corresponding color

and the flames with yellow.

For the flames, I immediately added a dot of 

orange icing at the base of the flame 

and then pulled a toothpick 

upward towards the top.

Since I used pastel colors with this set,

it is hard to see.

I tried to take a close up.....but it is still rather hard to see.

If you don't want to make orange icing too,

you could take an orange food color marker 

for the inner part of the flame.

 Once the flood has dried 20-30 minutes,

you can add the wick.

(I used the same color as candle,

but you could also use black for the wick.)

Finally, I added some candle wax drips.

It's Monday.

I'm thankful for the sun outside.

I hope your week is grand. :)
