Pirate Baby Decorated Cookie Collection

My first grandbaby's baby shower took on a pirate theme, so I had the pleasure of decorating lots of fun cookies to celebrate the soon arrival of our little man.

Grandson's daddy has loved pirates since he was a boy, so it seemed fitting for them to do the baby's bedroom in pirate everything.

Thankfully, I did not have to buy any special cutters for this set of cookies. I love it when that happens!

Baby boy.....we can't wait for your arrival. Arrrrrrrggg! 

 
 

Pirate Ship Decorated Cookie (Tutorial)

Oh the pirates...... my first grandbaby has a baby room decorated in a pirate theme.
So naturally the baby shower was also themed in pirates.

Every pirate must have a ship to sail, right?

A chubby oval shape works perfectly for this pirate ship.

Using a tiny round cutter (or other circle template) and a black marker, make the portholes on the lower half of the cookie.
I used a 1/2" circle cutter to outline the circles using Sugarbelle's template markers, and then I filled them in with an Americolor black marker.

Outline & flood the bottom 2/3 of cookie with brown glaze (be sure to outline the portholes too).
(see photo below)

Add a brown mast from the center of the ship to the top of the cookie.
Allow it to dry for 1-2 hours.
Then add the large white sail and the smaller black sail. (see photo below)

If desired, add red stitch lines around the white sail, blue scallops on the bottom of the ship to represent waves, and paint a skull-crossbones on the black sail with Americolor white gel.

Ahoy matey...... you're ready to sail. :)

CookieCrazie's Week in Review






_________________________________________________

Personal Side

A much better week.
Right now I'm sitting here writing this during a terrible winter storm.
We've got heavy snow and lots of wind. CRAZIE!
I feel like I need to whip out the snowmen and snowflake cutters. lol

I'm getting use to my MacBook.
Each day gets a little better.
I'm learning Photoshop.
I am still super slow.....and haven't actually edited any photos yet, 
but I'm feeling a little more ready to try it.

Here's the deal.
We're getting ready to make a HUGE software change at the hospital lab next weekend
(my "real" job).
So I've got change all around me.
Some days, I don't think my brain can handle all the stretching.
But I'm sure I'll be a much stronger person once I've passed through all this fire. :)
This week I did birthday cookies.
I was only able to decorate one day this week, but it was pure bliss.
And I feel like I'm getting faster and faster with my decorating....which is very exciting.
I only have one more "free week".....and then I have to work nearly full time for two weeks at my job.
Yikes! 
That means no cookies. :(
So hopefully I'll have time to do a few next week.
I've got lots of cool Easter ideas, but I may not get the chance to implement them this year.
Our software transition runs right into the week before Easter. : /


Instagram photos for this week:

Note: These Instagram photos go all the way back to the beginning of last week.

Buzzin' right into Valentines day this week..... ❤


 Moving to spring colors and spring flowers. :)


They make me smile. I hope they have you smiling too.
We need regular doses of happy cookies amongst all the "stuff" in life, don't we? :)

Spring texture.....
I wish you all a very Happy Valentines Day filled with lots of love and sweet treats. :)

Puppy love for Joe. :)

My new little buddy......we are already best buds and it's only been one day. :)
Best Valentines blessing.

Look at these beauties I just got at Hobby Lobby. :) Time for a fun photo shoot. :)

Sneak peek at my Easter egg collection. :)

Pretty little basket of flower cookies. :)

Butterflies...... :)

 From Mickey to ???? Any guesses?

My funky patchwork "eggs".

I'm back in my happy place today.
And oh....look....my new little laptop buddy is joining me. :)
It's a blessed day, for sure.

heehee They are coming together. Remember the Mickey cutter?
I can't wait to finish these cuties tomorrow. :)

Birthday cookies......


It went from nothing to near blizzard in just a matter of hours.
What a winter storm!!
I just gave a neighbor some cookies for helping with the driveway.
Instead of spring eggs and flower cookies, it should have been snowmen cookies. ;)

Pirate Treasure Chest Cookies (Tutorial)





You'll need:

**"Treasure Sprinkles include: 

Outline the chests.....but don't flood them yet.

Gather your treasure sprinkles.
Flood the center section of the chest with gold glaze.
Immediately start adding the sprinkles in any order you'd like.

Allow the gold glaze and sprinkles to dry for an hour or so.
Then flood the outer parts of the lid and bottom section in brown glaze.
After the brown has dried for an hour or so, flood the inside of the lid with beige glaze.
Allow to dry overnight.

Make a mixture of gold gel, white gel, and almond extract to paint on the inside of the lid.
This will give it a worn, antique-ish look.


Mix gold luster dust with almond extract to paint on the chest latch.


Use a brown food color marker to make wood age lines on the outside of the chest.



Pirate Treasure Map Cookies (Tutorial)





You'll need:


I used the largest of these rectangular cutters.
Once I cut out the rectangles, and before I baked them,
I squished the sides in here and there to make it look like an old piece of paper.
I know.....my technical terms are weak. ;)

Outline and flood the maps with the tan 10-second glaze.
Allow to dry overnight.

Make a mixture of gold gel, white gel, and almond extract to "muddy up" the maps.
Don't you love my decorating terms?




Allow the surfaces to dry for a few hours and then use the food color makers to draw your map.
If you need ideas, google "pirate treasure map".
