Back-To-School 2014 Cookie Collection

I know it is not near as fun for students to think about Back-To-School time
as it is for cookie decorators to make cookies to celebrate the season.
But then, students don't get to make cool cookies like buses, lockers, apples, chalkboards, etc. :)

There's something really awesome about back-to-school colors too.
I love the primary red, blue, green, yellow.....they all look so great together.

I had a wonderful time creating some fun cookies for this theme.
I hope the back-to-school experience is a good transition for all. :)

Locker Cookies (Tutorial)

A perfect cookie to represent going back to school.......locker cookies!


Cut and bake long rectangle cookies.
Here's a perfect cutter for a locker cookie

Start by spreading a small amount of grey glaze across the padlock area.
(see photo below)

After it has dried for a few minutes, outline and flood the locker

(minus the padlock area) in blue glaze.

Allow the cookie to dry for 1-1/2 to 2 hours.

Using the flat end of a boo-boo stick, press horizontal vent marks

into the top and bottom of the locker.

(see photo below)

Also, add a small padlock shape in gray glaze on top of the dried grey area.

Giving the padlock time to dry, add a gray line above it to represent the locker latch.

Dry the cookies overnight.

Paint the padlock with silver metallic paint or a mix of silver luster dust and vodka.

Allow it to dry for about 1 hour.

With either a black marker or black metallic paint, add the black dial and tick marks to padlock.

Lockers are ready for school to start. :)

2011 Back To School Collection

A few weeks ago, when I was asked by a mom if I'd make Back to School cookies for her sons, I jumped at the chance. I had never done them....and am always thrilled with the idea of doing cookies I've never done.  Plus, I wanted to come up with some unique BTS items I hadn't seen done in cookies.

Since the guys going back to school were entering middle and high school.....I knew I couldn't do crayons, glue, and elementary school stuff. So I wanted to make something that would fit the adolescent and teen years. I researched on google like crazy. And then I dove in. I was uncertain about several designs....in particular the school crossing sign, the bus, the stack of books and the backpack.....but they ended up being some of my favorites. :)

So here you have the entire collection in one photo.

I still have another baby shower collection from a few weeks ago to show you.....so I'll be sharing that next. It was nice to take a break from baby cookies for a while. :)

May you be especially blessed this week. Remember today is all you can be sure of......so make it the best it can be.
